Chapter 1 Three Dogs

Once upon a time there was a shepherd who had a son and a daughter.When he was dying, he called the two children to him and said, "I have nothing left for you, but three sheep and a hut. Divide them up! Whoever wants what he wants will ask for it." What, but no matter what, don't quarrel over these things."

When the shepherd died, the boy asked his sister if she would prefer the sheep or the hut.His sister chose the hut, so he said, "Then I'll take the sheep! I'm going to try my luck out in the wide world. A lot of people get lucky by traveling, can't I? Well, so do I." People born on Sunday! (Westerners believe that people born on Sunday are naturally bold, outgoing and active)”

So he set out on a journey with three sheep, and walked for a long time, but there was still no sign of good luck.One day he was sitting sadly at a crossroads, when suddenly a man appeared in front of him leading three black dogs, each of which was bigger than the other.

"Hi, buddy!" said the man, "I think your sheep are fat and fine. If you give them to me, I'll trade you three of my dogs."

Although the young man was depressed, he smiled and replied: "What use is your dog to me? My sheep can at least feed themselves. If it were your dog, I would have to find something to eat for them." .”

"My dogs are not ordinary dogs," said the stranger. "Not only do you not have to find food for them, they can also find food for you, and they can bring you good luck. The smallest dog is called ' Salt'. It will bring you food whenever you feel like eating. The second is called 'Pepper' and it will tear anyone who wants to hurt you to pieces. The biggest and strongest one is called ' Mustard', it is so strong that it can bite through steel with its teeth."

The young shepherd was persuaded and gave the three sheep to the stranger.In order to test the authenticity of the stranger's words, he immediately said: "Salt, I'm hungry." Before the words finished, the puppy disappeared, and after a while ran back with a big basket in its mouth, which was full of delicious food. Food.The young man rejoiced that he had made a good deal, and continued on the journey with confidence.

One day he saw a two-horse carriage covered with black curtains, and even the accessories on the horses were black.The driver was dressed in black from head to toe.In the car was a beautiful girl in black who was crying sadly.It seemed that even the horses pulling the cart were infected with sadness, and they walked slowly with their heads bowed.

"Driver! Why are you so sad?" asked the little shepherd.

At first the coachman refused to say anything, but seeing the young man's earnest questions, he could only tell him that there lived a wicked dragon nearby, and that every year people would sacrifice to it, and the sacrifice must be a beautiful young girl.Which parent is willing to feed their baby daughter to the dragon?Therefore, which family's girl should be sacrificed has always been determined by lottery.This year the king's daughter was drawn in the lottery, and the country mourned.

Xiao Yangguan felt very sorry for the lovely princess, so he decided to follow the carriage.Not long after, the carriage stopped at the foot of a high mountain, and the princess sadly alighted from the carriage, and slowly climbed up the mountain to meet her tragic fate.At this time, the coachman saw that the little shepherd was following him, so he warned him that if he still cherished his life, he had better hide as far away as possible.But the little shepherd followed the princess up the mountain without hesitation.When they climbed halfway up the mountain, a terrifying monster suddenly rushed towards them, intending to swallow the "sacrifice" in one gulp.The monster had a snake-like body, huge wings and claws, and flames spewed from its mouth.At this critical moment, the little shepherd shouted: "Pepper powder, go and save her!" The second dog immediately rushed to the dragon, and after a fierce struggle, it bit the dragon's neck fiercely, The dragon fell to the ground, and soon died.The dog ate the dragon's body in a short while, leaving only its two front teeth. The little shepherd picked up the two dragon teeth and put them in his pocket.

The princess was terrified at first, and finally she was ecstatic and passed out in front of her benefactor.After she regained consciousness, she asked the little shepherd to go back to her father with her, saying that her father would definitely reward him heavily.But the little shepherd said that now he wants to go to various parts of the world to see the world. After three years, he will come back to see the princess, and nothing can change his decision.The princess had no choice but to sit in the carriage alone. After saying goodbye to each other, the princess went home, while the little shepherd continued to travel around.

But when the princess's carriage passed a bridge, it stopped suddenly.The coachman turned back to her viciously and said, "Your benefactor has gone away, and he has no favors from you. Since you intend to let a poor man live well, then tell your father that I killed the dragon." If you refuse, I will throw you into the river, and no one will know the truth anyway, he will only think that the dragon has eaten you."

The princess was so frightened that she had no choice but to swear to the coachman that she would announce to the outside world that the coachman was her benefactor, and that she would never reveal the truth to anyone.So they returned to the capital.The people were all overjoyed to see the princess come back safe and sound.The black flags on the palace towers were all removed and replaced with flags of festive colors.The king hugged his daughter and her "benefactor," with tears of joy in his eyes.Then he said to the coachman: "You not only saved my daughter's life, but also saved our country from a catastrophe. I must reward you heavily. Well, I will marry my daughter to you as a wife, But she is still too young, you guys should hold the wedding next year!"

The coachman took the order to thank you.Then the king arranged for his subordinates to dress him in gorgeous clothes, and ordered people to teach him the etiquette that a prospective son-in-law should know.The poor princess just wept sadly, but she dared not tell anyone her secret.After the one-year contract ended, she begged her father to postpone the wedding for another year, and her father agreed.When the second year was over, she knelt in front of her father and wept bitterly, begging to postpone the wedding for another year.The princess looked so pitiful that the king's heart of stone would melt, so he had to agree.The princess was very happy, because she knew that her true benefactor would appear at the end of the third year.The year passed quickly, and the wedding date had already been finalized.People are going to attend the princess's wedding banquet and have fun at the banquet.

On the day of the wedding, a young stranger came into town with three black dogs.He asked people what these feasts were for.They told him that the king's daughter was to marry today to the man who had delivered her from the dragon.The young man immediately reprimanded the coachman as a liar, but no one listened to him.He was quickly captured and thrown into a cell with iron doors.

He lay on the grass bemoaning his fate.Then he thought he heard his dogs barking in the distance outside the prison.A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, so he shouted desperately: "Mustard, come and help me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the big dog's paw appearing outside the small window of the cell.In the next second, the big dog had already bit through the iron gate and stood in front of him.In this way, the little shepherd regained his freedom, but he was still very sad, because at this time another person was enjoying the honor that belonged to him.At the same time he was hungry, so he called his little dog "Salt" to fetch him some food.

After a while, the puppy ran back with a bag of food wrapped in a napkin, which was embroidered with a crown pattern.It turned out that just as the king sat down in the banquet hall and was preparing to have a banquet with his ministers, the puppy suddenly ran into the banquet hall and licked the princess's hand intimately.The princess was pleasantly surprised to recognize the puppy, so she tied her napkin around the puppy's neck, and then summoned up the courage to tell the whole story to her father.The king immediately ordered his followers to follow the puppy, and after a while, the owner of the puppy was brought before the king by his followers.When the coachman saw the little shepherd, his face turned pale with fright.Immediately he fell on his knees, and begged the shepherd's pardon, and begged the king to spare his life.The princess also recognized his benefactor immediately, not to mention that the little shepherd still has two dragon teeth, which are the iron proof that he rescued the princess.So the coachman was immediately thrown into a dark prison, and the little shepherd sat next to the princess, that is, the seat of the son-in-law.This time, as you must have guessed, the princess did not ask the king to postpone the wedding.

From then on, the little shepherd and the princess lived a happy and peaceful life.Suddenly one day, the little shepherd thought of his sister, and he really wanted to see her again and let her live a good life.So they sent a carriage to fetch her.Soon after, my sister also came to this country, and the siblings hugged each other with mixed feelings of grief and joy.At this time, one of the three dogs suddenly said: "Our task has been completed, you don't need us anymore. But we have been waiting, just hope that after seeing you become rich, you will not forget yourself sister." Then they turned into three little birds and flew to heaven.
