The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

The fifth story little robber girl

They drove through the dense woods. But the car was shining like a torch, dizzying the eyes of some robbers, and they couldn't stand it anymore.

"That's gold! That's gold!" they said loudly. They rushed forward, stopped the horses, killed the riders, coachmen and servants, and finally dragged Gerda off the cart.

"She is fat... She is beautiful... She grew up eating walnut pits!" said the old female robber. Her beard was long and hard, and her puffy eyebrows covered her eyes.

"She is like a fat little lamb! Oh, it's delicious!"

So she drew out a shining knife-the knife shone terribly.

"Ouch!" the old woman yelled at the same time, because her biological daughter crawled on her back and bit her ear; she was a naughty and savage child who liked to have this kind of fun. "You mischievous kid!" Mom said, so she wouldn't have time to kill Gerda.

"I want her to play with me!" said the little robber girl. "She has to give me her hand warmer and beautiful clothes, and sleep with me in bed!"

So the child bit her again, causing the old lady robber to jump up again and spin; the other robbers all laughed and said at the same time, "Look, how well she and her kid dance!"

"I'm going to get in that car!" said the little robber girl.

She can do whatever she wants, because she is a very presumptuous and stubborn child. She and Gerda sat in the car, drove over the stumps and thorns, and ran into the forest. The little robber girl is the same age as Gerda, but her body is stronger and her shoulders wider. Her skin was brown and her eyes were dark, almost gloomy. She hugged little Gerda in her arms and said:

"As long as I'm not angry with you, they can't kill you. I think you are a princess?"

"No." Little Gerda said. So she told her what she had encountered and how she liked little Kay.

The little robber girl gave her a serious look, nodded gently, and said, "Even if I am angry with you, they can't kill you, because then I will do it myself."

So she wiped off Gerda's tears and put her hands in the soft and warm hand warmer.

Now the carriage finally stopped. They walked into the courtyard of the robber's palace. The palace is full of cracks from the top to the ground. Dado birds and crows flew out from the open hole, and the big lap dogs—each one seemed to be able to swallow a person—jumped high, but they didn't bark because it was not allowed.

In an old, smoky large room, a fire was burning on the stone-paved floor. The smoke swirled under the ceiling, trying to find a way out. There was a big pot of soup boiling, and many rabbits and hares were roasting on the iron rod.

"Tonight you sleep with me and my little animal." said the little robber girl.

They ate something and drank something, and then walked to a corner covered with straw and carpet. There are more than one hundred pigeons perching on the slats and perches. They are almost falling asleep. But when the two girls came, they turned their heads and took a look.

"These things belong to me," said the little robber girl. So she immediately grabbed the one beside her and shook her legs a few times until it made it flap its wings. "Kiss it!" she said loudly, and slapped Gerda in the face. "There are a few **** in the woods sitting there," she continued, pointing to the wooden slats on the wall. A hole. "These two things are **** in the forest. If you don't shut them down, they will fly away immediately. Now please see my old love'Bam'." She grabbed a reindeer's horns, Drag it out. It is sleeved; it wears a shiny copper ring around its neck. "We have to trap it firmly or it will escape. Every night I scratch its neck with a sharp knife-it is very afraid of this hand."

The little girl then drew a long knife from a crack in the wall and slid it on the reindeer's neck. The poor animal flicked its leg. The little robber girl laughed and dragged Gerda into the bed.

"Do you also keep this knife by your side when you sleep?" Gerda asked, looking at the knife in horror.

"I always sleep with my knife!" The little robber girl replied, "Because no one knows what accidents will happen. But now please tell me about Gai and why you came to this big Tell me again for the sake of the world."

Gerda spoke again from the beginning. The turtle dove cooed in the upper cage while the other turtle doves went to sleep. The little robber girl put her arm around Gerda's neck with one hand and a knife in the other, and fell asleep-people could hear these movements. But Gerda couldn't close her eyes anyway—she didn't know whether she was going to live or die.

The robbers sat around the fire, singing and drinking. The old robber woman turned somersault. A little girl felt terrified when she saw this scene.

So the turtle doves said: "Goo! Goo! We saw little Kay. A white hen carried his sleigh: He was sitting in the snow queen's car. When we were in the nest, the car was low. The low ground flew over the woods. She breathed on our little turtledove: Everyone is dead except for the two of us. Goo! Go!

"What are you talking about?" Gerda asked, "Where did the Snow Queen travel? Do you know?"

"She probably went to Lapland, because there is snow and ice all year round. Go and ask about the reindeer wrapped in a rope."

"There is ice and snow there, it is magnificent and splendid!" said the reindeer. "There, people can jump freely in the shining valley! There, the Snow Queen set up her summer tent, but the palace where she often lives is near the North Pole On an island called Spitsbergen."

"Ah, Gae, little Gae!" Gerda sighed.

"You have to lie down quietly," said the little robber girl, "otherwise I will stab a knife into your belly!"

The next morning, Gerda told her what the turtledove said. The little robber girl looked very serious, but she nodded and said, "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Do you know where Lapland is?" She asked the reindeer.

"Who knows better than me?" said the reindeer, its eyes moving on its head. "I was born there and grew up there. I hopped on the snow there."

"Listen!" the little robber girl said to Gerda. "You have to know: our men are gone. Only mother is left, she will stay here. But near noon, she will drink something from that big bottle, so she will take a nap. Then I will help you again!"

She jumped off the bed, put her arms around her mother's neck, pulled her beard, and said, "Good morning, my dear old goat."

Her mother knocked a few times on her nose, which made her red and blue-but it all started from true maternal love.

Mom fell asleep after drinking something from the bottle. The little robber girl walked to the reindeer and said, "I really want to stab you a few more times with a sharp knife, because this way you look funny. But it doesn’t matter, I will untie your rope and let you out so that you can You can go to Lapland. But you have to use your legs to take this little girl to the palace of the Snow Queen—her playmate is there. You have heard her. What you say to me, because her voice is loud, and you are also eavesdropping!"

The reindeer jumped up for joy. The little robber girl hugged little Gerda on its back, and carefully fastened her, and even gave her a small cushion as a seat.

"It doesn't matter," she said, "you can put on your boots because the weather is getting cold. But I will leave this hand warmer because it is cute! But you still won't feel cold. This is my mother's big pair of gloves, which can be put on your elbow. Put it on! Your hands are now really like my ugly mother's hands."

Gerda cried with joy.

"You shed a lot of tears, I can't bear it!" said the little robber girl. "Now you should look very happy. Take these two pieces of bread and a piece of ham, lest you go hungry."

These things are tied to the back of the reindeer. The little robber girl opened the door and coaxed some big dogs into the house. So she cut the rope with a knife and said to the reindeer:

"You run! But please take good care of this little girl!"

Gerda stretched out her large gloved hands to the little robber girl, and said, "Goodbye!" So the reindeer galloped up on the stumps and bushes, through the woods, over the swamps and prairie, as soon as possible Mercedes-Benz. The jackal was howling, the crow was croaking. "Hush! Hush!" This is the sound from the air. The sky seemed to burn.

"That's my dear old Northern Lights!" said the reindeer. "Look, how bright it is!" So it ran faster, running day and night.

The bread was finished, the ham was finished, and they arrived in Lapland.

The sixth story Lapland woman and Finnish woman

They stopped in front of a small house. This house is very simple; its roof is so low that it almost touches the ground; its door is so short that when the family wants to walk in, they have to crawl on the ground. There was no one in the house except an old woman. She was frying fish on an oil lamp. The reindeer talked about all of Gerda's experience, but it first talked about its own, because it felt it was the most important. Gerda was so cold that he couldn't even say a word.

"Oh, you poor things!" said the Lapland woman, "you have to run a long way! You have to run more than 300 Danish miles to reach Finnmark, because the Snow Queen is there. Vacation in the country. She sets off blue fireworks every night. I will write a few words on a dried cod, because I don’t have paper, you can take it to an old Finnish woman—she will tell you more Lots of news."

When Gerda warmed up for a while, ate and drank something, the Lapland woman wrote a few words on a dried cod and told Gerda to hold it properly, then tied her to the back of the reindeer The deer immediately jumped away, "Huh! Huh!" It said high in the air. The most beautiful, azure blue northern lights, shining non-stop all night.

So they got to Finnmark, and they knocked on the Finnish woman's chimney because she didn't even have a door.

The heat in the room was so great that Finnish women lived there almost naked. Her figure is small and dirty. She immediately untied Gerda's clothes and took off her big gloves and boots, otherwise Gerda would feel too hot. She put a piece of ice on the reindeer's head, and then read the words written on the cod-she read it three times in a row. When she had learned all these words by heart, she threw the fish into a soup pot and cooked it, because it was edible, and she was a person who never wasted anything.

The reindeer first told his own story, and then told little Gerda's story. The Finnish woman blinked her clever eyes without saying a word.

"You are very clever," said the reindeer. "I know you can sew all the winds in the world together with a stitch. If the captain untie a knot, he can have good wind; if he loosens Open the second knot, and the wind will blow harder; but when he untie the third and fourth knots, there will be a storm that can blow down the woods. Can you give this little girl A little something to drink, so that she can have as much power as 12 people to subdue the Snow Queen?"

"The power of 12 people!" said the Finnish woman. "This is so useful!"

She went to the cabinet, took a large bundle of skins, and opened the bundle. There are many strange letters written on it. The Finnish woman read, until sweat dripped from her forehead.

But the reindeer pleaded very earnestly for little Gerda, and Gerda himself looked at the Finnish woman with teardrops and pleading eyes. The woman also began to blink her eyes and led the reindeer to a corner of the wall. While putting a piece of fresh ice on its back, she said, "Of course the little Kay lives with the Snow Queen. What does he think about there? Everything was in line with his appetite and thoughts. He thought it was the most beautiful place in the world. But this was because there was a fragment of a mirror in his heart and a fragment of a mirror in his eyes. They must be taken first. Come out, otherwise he will never be a human being. But the Snow Queen will do everything possible to keep him!"

"But can you give little Gerda something so that she can overcome all difficulties?"

"I can't give her more power than all she has now: Didn't you see how great this power is? Didn't you see how people and animals serve her? You didn't see her playing barefoot How many roads have you traveled in this world? She doesn’t need to know her own power from us. Her power is in her heart; she is an innocent and lovely child—this is her power. If she can’t herself Go to the Snow Queen and take out the glass shards from Little Kay, then we can’t help her! The Snow Queen’s garden starts from the place two Danish miles away from here. You can take this little girl to Go there: Put her on the snow next to a big bush full of safflower berries. Don't stay there chatting, hurry up and come back here!"

So the Finnish woman hugged Gerda on the back of the reindeer. It flew as fast as possible.

"Oh, I didn't put on my boots! I didn't put on big gloves!" Little Gerda called.

She felt the biting cold immediately; but the reindeer dared not stop: it ran to the bush full of red berries in one breath. It put Gerda down and kissed her mouth, so big tears came to her face. It ran back as quickly as possible. Poor Gerda stood there, in that terrible, cold Finnmark, without shoes or big gloves.

She ran forward desperately. A stream of snowflakes rolled over. It did not fall from the sky, because the sky is very clear and the northern lights are also emitting. Snow is rolled along the ground. The closer it gets closer, the bigger it becomes. Gerda remembered how big and beautiful the snowflakes were when she looked out through the hot glass. But here they look very large and terrifying-they are alive. They are the outposts of the Snow Queen, and they are strangely shaped. Some look like big ugly hedgehogs; some look like snakes with their heads stretched out and tangled together; some look like chubby bears with upright hair. They are all shiny white, living snowflakes.

Little Gerda reads the "Lord's Prayer." The weather was so cold, she could see her breath coming out of her mouth like smoke. The exhaled breath became stronger and stronger, forming a bright little Angel. When they touch the ground, they become bigger and bigger. They all wear helmets, spears and shields. Their number is increasing. When Gerda finished her prayers, a large army appeared around her. These soldiers pierced these terrible snowflakes with their spears, breaking the snowflakes into countless pieces. So little Gerda moved forward steadily and bravely. Angel touched her hands and feet, so she didn't feel so cold anymore. She hurried towards the palace of the Snow Queen.

But now we have to first see what Gai is doing. He didn't think of little Gerda, let alone that she was standing at the gate of the palace.

The seventh story What happened and the result in the palace of Queen Snow White

The walls of the palace are made of snow, and the biting cold wind is its windows and doors. There are more than a hundred houses in it, all of which are formed by blowing snowflakes together. The largest room among them is a few Danish miles long. The intense northern lights illuminate them; they are very large, very empty, very cold and very bright. There has never been any happiness here, not even bear’s ball. In fact, the blizzard is likely to play a little music here, allowing the polar bears to stand on their hind legs and take steps to perform their outstanding posture. They don't even have any gadgets for slaps and soles. The young white fox girls have never had any small tea parties.

The hall of the Snow Queen was empty, vast and cold. The Arctic light is so accurate, you can calculate when it is highest and when it is lowest. In the center of this empty, borderless snow hall, there is a frozen lake-it split into a thousand pieces; but each piece is exactly the same shape as the other small pieces, so it is like a perfect set of art Product. When Queen Snow White was at home, she was sitting in the middle of the lake. She herself said that she was sitting in the mirror of reason, and it was the only and best mirror in the world.

Little Gae was blue from the cold-indeed, almost black from the cold, but he didn't think it was because the Snow Queen had kissed the chills from him. His heart is almost like a block of ice. He is playing with a few flat and sharp pieces of ice, putting them together, trying to make something together. It's as if we want to use a few pieces of wood to form a pattern—the so-called Chinese toy①. Gay is also trying to make patterns-the most complicated pattern.

This is called a sane ice game. In his eyes, these patterns are the most remarkable and very important things; this is all because of the mirror fragment in his eyes. He laid out these patterns to form a single word-but he couldn't make the word he wanted-"eternal". So Queen Snow White said: "If you can spell out this pattern, then you are your own master. I will give you the whole world and a new pair of skates as a gift."

But he couldn't spell it out.

"Now I'm eager to fly to a warm country!" said the Snow Queen, "I'm going to see those black pots!" She was referring to those volcanoes, which we call Mount Etna and Vesuvius. Volcano②. "I will make them whiter! There is a need; it is good for grapes and lemons."

So Queen Snow White flew away. Gay sat alone in the big and empty ice hall a few miles long, staring at his ice cubes. He fell into deep thought, almost breaking his head. He sat upright, motionless, people might think he was frozen to death.

At this time, little Gerda happened to walk through the gate and into the palace. The wind here was very sharp, but when she finished her evening prayer, the wind calmed down, as if she had fallen asleep. She walked into this wide, empty, cold room, and saw Gae. She recognized him immediately. She fell on top of him, hugging him, hugging him tightly, and yelled:

"Gay, dear little Gay! I finally found you!"

But he sat motionless, straight and cold. So little Gerda shed many tears. Tears flowed to his chest, penetrated into his heart, melted the snow in it, and disintegrated the fragments of a small mirror in it. He looked at her, and she sang a hymn:

Roses grow luxuriantly in the valley,

There we meet the Holy Child Jesus.

At this moment Gai burst into tears. He cried so much that even the mirror powder from his eyes came out. Now he recognizes her, so he cried happily, "Gerda, dear Gerda! Where have you been for so long? Where have I been?" He glanced around. "How cold it is here! How big and empty it is!"

He hugged Gerda tightly. She was so happy that she cried and laughed. They are so happy that even the ice cubes around are dancing with joy. When they lay down because of fatigue, the two of them formed a pattern of exactly one word-Snow Queen once said that if he could spell out this pattern, he would become his own master and she would give him the whole The world and a new pair of ice boots.

Gerda kissed his cheeks: cheeks were like open flowers; she kissed his eyes: her eyes were as shiny as her own; she kissed his hands and feet, so he became healthy and lively again stand up. Queen Snow White could come back home at this time, but his liberation letter had been shiningly printed on the ice.

Armed hands, they walked out of this huge ice palace. They talked about their grandmother, about the roses on the roof. Wherever they went, the wind stopped and the sun appeared. When they came to the bush of red berries, the reindeer was waiting for them there. It also brought another doe. The doe's bulge was full, so she gave the two children warm milk while kissing their mouths. They sent Kay and Gerda to the Finnish woman first. They stayed warm in her warm room for a while and got some instructions on the way home. Then they went to the Lapland woman. The woman has made new clothes for them and has repaired her sleigh.

The reindeer and the little doe hopped around next to them, escorting them to the border. The plants in early spring here have sprouted green shoots. They bid farewell to the two reindeer and the Lapland woman. "Farewell!" everyone said. The birds in early spring began to murmur and sing; the woods were covered with green shoots. A beautiful horse ran out of the woods. Gerda knew it because it was the horse that used to pull the golden carriage. A young girl is riding it. She wears a shiny red hat on her head, and she also carries a pistol. This is the little robber girl. She was tired of staying at home and wanted to go to the north first; if she didn't like that place, she would go elsewhere. She recognized Gerda immediately; Gerda also recognized her. They were very happy to meet.

"You are such a lovely tramp!" she said to little Gae. "I want to ask, are you worth it to let someone rush to the horizon to find you?"

But Gerda touched her face and asked about the prince and the princess.

"They all traveled to a foreign country!" said the little robber girl.

"But where is the crow?" Little Gerda asked.

"Well, that crow is dead," the little robber girl replied. "That tamed lover became a widow, with a black velvet on her leg! It was very sad~www.ltnovel.com ~ But this is totally meaningless! Now please tell me your story, how did you find him?"

Both Gerda and Kay told the story.

"His-huh-huh!" said the little robber girl. So she shook their hands and promised that if she walked through their city, she would definitely visit them. Then she rode a horse into the vast world. Gerda and Gay walked arm in arm. What they saw on the road was a beautiful spring full of green branches and green leaves. The church bell rang, and they recognized the steeples of the churches and the big city where they lived. They walked into the city until they reached the door of the grandmother's house; they climbed up the stairs and walked into the room-everything here was unchanged. The big clock was walking "tick-tick", and the needle on it was also turning. But when they walked out the door, they found that they had grown into adults. The roses on the water table are blooming in front of the open window. There are several chairs for children. Gay and Gerda were sitting in their own chairs, shaking hands. They had forgotten the coldness and hollowness of the Snow Queen as if they had had a big dream. Sitting in the bright sunlight of God, grandmother read the "Bible" aloud: "Unless you become a child, you are determined not to enter the kingdom of God!" ③

Gae and Gerda looked at each other face to face, and immediately understood the meaning of the hymn——

Roses grow luxuriantly in the valley,

There we meet the Holy Child Jesus.

The two of them sat there, already adults, but at the same time also children-children in their hearts. It was summer, a warm and pleasant summer.
