The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was a man who had various skills and was very brave and faithful in war. When the war was over, he was sent home with only three Cruz travel fare. He said: "Wait and see! I will not be satisfied with such a little money. If I can find a suitable partner, I want the king to give me all the wealth of the country."

So he walked into a forest angrily, and saw a man uprooting six trees as easily as wheat, and said to the man who pulled up the trees, "Will you be my servant and follow me?" Answer: "Yes. But now I have to carry the firewood back to my mother." He picked up a tree and tied the other five together, then carried the whole bundle on his shoulder and walked away. After a while he came back and walked forward with the retired soldiers. The retired soldier said to him: "The two of us are together, and we will be lucky enough to travel all over the world."

Not long after they had gone, they saw a hunter kneeling and aiming. The ex-soldier asked him, "Hunter, what are you shooting at?" The hunter replied, "There's an oak tree two miles from here, and there's a fly in the tree. I'm going to hit it in the left eye." The ex-soldier said: "Excellent! Please come with us, the three of us will be lucky enough to travel all over the world together." The hunter happily followed them. When they came to the seven windmills, they saw that the windmills were spinning rapidly, but there was no wind on the left and right, and even the small leaves were motionless. The retired soldier said: "I really don't know what makes the windmill turn. There is no wind at the moment!" He continued to move forward with his companions.

They walked another two miles or so and saw a man sitting in a tree with one nostril plugged and the other blowing. The retired soldier asked him: "My God, what are you doing there?" The man replied: "There are seven windmills two miles away. You see, they turn when I breathe out." "Great! Please Come with us, and the four of us will be lucky enough to travel all over the world." The man who had blown the breath climbed down from the tree and followed them.

After walking for a while, they met a man standing there with only one leg, and took the other leg off and put it aside. The retired soldier asked: "Can you rest comfortably like this?" The man replied: "I am a runner. In order not to run too fast, I had to take off one leg. If I run with both legs at the same time, it will be faster than running." It's flying fast." "Excellent! Please come with us, the five of us are together, and we will be lucky enough to travel all over the world." So they left together.

After walking for a while, they met another person. The man wore a little hat, but he only hung it over one ear. The retired soldier said: "Put your hat on straight and don't hang it on your ears. Otherwise people will think you are a fool." The man replied: "I can't put my hat on straight, otherwise the cold will come and the birds in the sky will be killed." Frozen to death and fell to the ground." "That's how it is. Please come with us, the six of us are together, and the world will surely be convinced in front of us."

They came to a city where the king was announcing that whoever won a race with his daughter would be her husband, and whoever lost would be beheaded. At this time, the retired soldier signed up and said: "I am willing to let my friend compete for me." The king replied: "Then you must also pledge his life, and your head and his head will bear the consequences of failure." After explaining the conditions to each other, the retired soldiers put another leg on the runner and said to him: "Run quickly,

Help us to win. "

The competition stipulates that whoever fetches water from a well far away first wins. The runner and the princess each took a jug and started running at the same time. The princess ran only a short distance, and the runner disappeared. He ran as fast as the wind, and soon came to the designated well, filled a jug of water, and ran back. But in the middle of the run, he felt a little tired, so he put down the pitcher and lay down to sleep. He picked up a horse skull from the ground as a pillow, because he thought it would be uncomfortable to sleep on a hard bone, and he would wake up in a while. Although the princess can only be said to be an ordinary racer, she is indeed good at running. She ran to the well, filled a jug of water, and ran back again. When she saw the runner dozing off, she said happily to herself, "This time the opponent will be behind me." He emptied the runner's water jug ​​and continued to run back. They would have lost if the clairvoyant hadn't been on top of the palace to see what was happening. The hunter said: "The king's daughter can't beat us!" He quickly loaded a bullet into the shotgun, and skillfully shot the horse's skull, which was used for the runner's pillow, without hurting a single hair of the runner. The runners jumped up, and saw that the jug was empty, and the princess was far ahead. He was not discouraged by this, and ran to the well to fill the jug and run back, but he still arrived ten minutes before the king's daughter. He said: "Look, I'm only using two legs now, and I couldn't count it as a race before."

The king was very angry, and the princess was even more frustrated because she was going to be married by such an ordinary retired soldier. So they discussed together how to get rid of the retired soldier and his partner. The king said to the princess: "You don't have to be afraid, I have thought of a way so that they will never come back." He turned to the retired soldiers and said: "Now you should have a good meal and have fun." He led them into a room where the floor was made of iron, the door was also made of iron, and the windows were fitted with iron bars, and a table of fine banquets was set up in the room. "Come in," said the king, "and have a good meal." Then he ordered the cook to light a fire under the iron floor, and make the iron plate red-hot. The cook started to light the fire below, and the six people above began to feel the heat. At first they thought it was because of the food, but as it got hotter and hotter, they wanted to come out to cool off. Unexpectedly, the door was locked, so they realized that the king had bad intentions and wanted them to suffocate inside. "He won't succeed," said the man in the hat. "I'll send a frost, and let the fire slip away in shame before it." As soon as he put his hat on, the frost came, and the heat came. All the dishes were dispersed, and even the dishes on the table began to freeze.

After a few hours, the king thought they must be smothered by the heat, and he opened the door himself to see. But when he opened the door, he saw six people standing there in good condition, full of vitality. They said they wanted to come out to be warm, but it was so cold inside that the food froze quickly. The king reprimanded the chef angrily, and asked him why he didn't follow the order. The chef replied, "The fire is burning hot enough. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." The king saw that there was indeed a raging fire under the iron room. Only then did he realize that these six people could not be cured with this method.

The king kept thinking about how to get rid of these unwelcome guests, and then he found the leader and said to him: "If you want gold instead of my daughter, you can take as much as you want." "Okay Yes, Your Majesty," he replied, "you must give as much as my servant can take, and then I shall not have your daughter." Satisfied, the retired soldier then said to him, "I am fourteen days old. Come and get the gold later." Then he summoned tailors from all over the country and asked them to sew a large sack within fourteen days. When it was finished, he asked the man who could pull up the tree to carry the bag and go with him to the king. The king asked: "Who is that Hercules who is carrying a big sack like a house?" He was startled suddenly, and said: "How much gold can he carry away!" The strongest man moved it, but the strong man grabbed it and put it in his pocket, saying: "Why don't you move more at a time, this gold can't even cover the bottom of the pocket!" The king had to ask for all his treasures He took out some of them, and Hercules threw them into the bag, which was not even half full, and said, "Bring some more, this little is not enough at all." The king had to use seven thousand chariots to transport All the gold from all over the country was brought to him, and the Hercules even swept the gold belt into the cow with the cowl in his pocket, and said: "I won't look at it carefully, I will put whatever I bring, as long as I put it in the bag." Just fill it up." When everything was filled, there was still a lot of space in the bag, and the strong man said, "Forget it, even though the bag is not full, I'll tie it up and carry it away." After speaking, he put the bag on his shoulders As soon as he carried it, he left with his companions. The king was very angry when he saw that all his property had been taken away by such a man. He ordered the cavalry to mount after the six men and take back the bag from the Hercules.

Soon, two cavalry regiments caught up with the six men, and they shouted: "You are under arrest! Put down the gold bag quickly, or you will be smashed to pieces!" The man who breathed through his nostrils asked: "You What did you say? We have been captured? I will let you dance in the sky!" As he spoke, he pinched one nostril and blew through the other, which caused the two cavalry regiments to be blown into chaos, and some were blown to the ground. In the sky, some were blown over the mountains, one here and one there, falling all over the ground. A sergeant, who was a brave man and did not deserve such an insult, was compelled to beg for his life, for he had been wounded in nine places. The inflator stopped, allowing the sergeant to fall slowly and unharmed. He said to the sergeant: "Now go back and report to the king and ask him to send more cavalry, so that I can blow them all to the sky." When the king heard the report, he had to say: "Let these rascals go, they There is magic."

The six of them took the treasure home and divided it up, and lived happily ever after.
