格林童話故事第65篇：千皮獸All-kinds-of-fur
引導語：千皮獸是什么怪物?可怕?下面是小編收集的格林的童話故事《千皮獸》，有中英文版本的，歡迎大家閱讀!
從前有個國王，他的妻子長著一頭金發，她的美貌在世界上是絕無僅有的。可不幸的是她病倒了，而且很快就要死了。她將國王叫到跟前說："如果你想在我死后再娶，答應我一定要娶一個和我一樣美、一樣有一頭金發的女人。"國王答應了，王后便閉上眼睛死了。
國王難過了很長時間，根本無心再娶。最后他的大臣們說："不能再這樣下去了，國王一定要再娶一個，我們也好有個王后。"于是向四面八方派出使者，尋找和已故王后一樣美麗的姑娘。可是全國都找遍了卻沒有找到，偶爾找到一個漂亮的，又沒有王后那樣的金發，使者們只好空手而歸。
國王有個女兒，長得和母親一模一樣，而且也是一頭金發，她一天一天長大了。國王看著她，覺得她無處不似已故的妻子，因而對她產生了強烈的愛。他對大臣們說："我要娶我女兒，她就是我前妻的再現。我再也找不到有誰更像她了。"大臣們大驚失色地說："上帝是禁止父親娶女兒的。犯這樣的罪不會有好結果，而且整個國家都會遭殃的。"
公主得知父親的打算后更是震驚，可她希望能使父親改變主意。于是她對父親說："在我答應你的要求之前，我必須得到三件衣服：一件像太陽那樣金光閃耀、一件像月亮那樣銀光四溢、一件像星星那樣明亮閃爍。除此以外，我還要一件斗篷，必須是用上千種不同動物的皮毛縫制的。你國度里的每一種動物都必須獻上一塊皮毛。"公主想："這些都是不可能辦到的。這樣就可以讓父親改變主意了。然而國王沒有放棄，他吩咐手藝最巧的姑娘織那三件衣服……一件像太陽般閃耀、一件像月亮般流銀、一件像星星般璀燦;他還吩咐最優秀的獵人去捕捉每一種動物，然后取其皮毛縫制千獸皮斗篷。等一切準備停當，國王叫人在公主面前展開斗篷，說：
"我們明天就舉行婚禮。"
公主一看沒法讓父親回心轉意，便決定遠走他鄉。晚上，當人們都睡熟之后，公主從珠寶盒里取出一個金戒指、一個金紡輪和一個金線軸，然后將陽光、月亮和星星三件衣服等物裝進一只小匣子，用煙灰將手腳和臉涂得黑黑的，披上千獸皮斗篷出發了。她聽天由命地走了一整夜，來到一座大森林里。她累極了，便爬進一個樹洞睡著了。
太陽出來了，公主還沒醒;中午了，她仍然熟睡著。這森林是一個國王的，那天他剛巧出來打獵，獵狗跑到樹洞口嗅了又嗅，然后圍著樹"汪汪"直叫。國王對跟來的獵手說："去看看是什么野獸躲在那兒。"獵人去了之后回來說："有頭奇怪的動物在樹洞里睡覺，身上的皮是上千種獸皮拼起來的。我們以前還從沒見過這種動物呢。"國王于是說："試試能不能活捉。如果能就捆好讓我帶回王宮去。"獵手抓住了公主，姑娘驚恐萬狀地喊道："我是個被父母遺棄的可憐的孩子，可憐可憐我，帶我走吧。"獵手說："千皮獸，我看你在廚房里幫著掃掃爐灰還行。跟我來吧。"他們讓公主上了馬車，把她帶回了王宮，指著樓梯底下一間不透光的衣帽間對她說："毛家伙，你住在這兒吧。"從此公主被派到廚房扛柴火、挑水、掃爐膛灰、拔雞鴨毛、揀菜、掏爐膛……，干各種又臟又累的活兒。千皮獸在那里度過了很長一段時間的悲慘生活。啊，美麗的公主，你現在都成什么模樣了!
然而有一天，宮里開宴會，公主對廚師說："能讓我上樓看一看么?只在門外看看。""去吧。"廚師說，"不過過半小時你得回來掏爐膛灰。"公主拿起油燈回到自己那間斗室，脫下毛斗篷，洗凈臉上和手腳上的煙黑，她的美貌立刻大放光彩。她打開小匣子，拿出那件金光燦爛的衣服穿上，走進宴會大廳。人們紛紛給她讓路，盡管沒人認識她，可都覺得她有公主的氣派。國王走過來，伸手邀請她跳舞，心想："我還從來沒見過這么美麗的人呢!"一曲終了時，公主向國王行了個曲膝禮。等國王抬頭再看時，公主已不知去向了。他召來站在宮門口的衛兵問，可誰都說沒見過。公主跑回了那間斗室，迅速脫下衣服，把臉和手腳重新涂上黑煙灰，穿上毛斗篷來到廚房掃爐灰。廚師說："明早再掃爐灰吧，先給國王做一碗湯，我要上樓去看看。當心別把頭發之類的臟東西掉進湯里，否則我罰你挨餓!"廚師走了，千皮獸為國王做了一碗面包湯，這是她做得最好的一種，然后將她帶來的金戒指放到湯里。
國王跳完舞，叫人把湯送去。他很愛喝那種湯，似乎以前從來沒有喝過這么好味道的湯。喝到最后，他發現了那只金戒指，簡直不敢相信。他命人去召廚師，廚師一聽國王召見，嚇得對千皮獸說："準是你把頭發掉進湯里了。如果真是那樣，我非狠狠揍你一頓不可。"他來到國王面前，國王問他湯是誰做的。廚師說："我做的。"國王又說："不對，湯的味道比以前好多了，而且做法不同。"廚師回答說："我承認湯的確不是我做的，是那個毛家伙做的。"國王說："叫他來。"千皮獸來到國王面前，國王問："你是什么人?""我是個沒有父母的可憐姑娘。"國王又問："你在我宮里有什么用?"她回答說："我的作用就是讓人踢打。"國王接著問："湯里的金戒指哪里來的?""我不知道什么金戒指。"國王一看什么都問不出來，只好讓她回去了。
不久，國王又舉行舞會。千皮獸像前一次那樣求廚師讓她上樓看熱鬧。廚師說："去吧。不過過半小時你得回來做國王愛喝的那種湯。"她答應著跑回房間，迅速洗凈煙黑，換上那件如月光流淌般的衣服，像公主那樣走進了舞會廳。國王迎上前來，很高興又見到她。舞樂響起，他們一起跳啊跳，可等樂曲終了時，她又迅速消失了，快得連國王自己都沒看清她去了哪里。公主連跑帶跳地逃進自己房間，將自己又變成了毛乎乎的動物，跑回廚房準備國王的湯去了。等廚師上樓看熱鬧的時候，她悄悄地將金紡輪放進湯碗里。仆人將湯端給國王，他還像上次那樣愛喝。他召來廚師，他承認湯是千皮獸做的。國王又叫人把她召來，可她的回答還是和上次一樣，并且說她根本不知道金紡輪的事。
當國王再次舉行舞會時，一切如前面兩次那樣發生了。廚師問："毛家伙，你準是個巫婆。你總是往湯里放點什么，使國王格外愛喝你做的湯，不愛喝我做的。"可由于她的苦苦請求，廚師還是答應讓她上樓看，但必須在指定時間內返回。這次，公主穿上了那件星光閃爍的衣服來到大廳。國王又走上前來和她跳舞，心想她這樣更加漂亮了，并趁她不注意的時候往她手指上套了個戒指。國王命令延長舞曲，所以當一曲結束時，規定的時間已經超過了。國王想抓牢公主的手，可她掙脫了，迅速穿過人群不見了。她來不及脫下華麗的服裝，只是草草披上獸毛斗篷。匆忙中她也沒顧上把各個部位仔細涂黑，竟然有個指頭漏了涂。她急忙回到廚房給國王做湯，并且趁廚師不在時將金線軸放進湯里。當國王發現碗里的金線軸時，馬上召來千皮獸，發現了那只沒有涂黑的白晰的手指，并且看到了自己在跳舞時給她套上的戒指。他緊緊抓住這只手，公主想掙脫，斗篷開了一條縫，衣服上的星光立刻泄漏出來。國王抓住斗篷一拽，公主那金色的秀發頓時大放光彩。她站在那兒，婷婷玉立，再也無法躲藏了。等她洗凈煙黑，那份美更是無與倫比的了。國王說："你就是我親愛的新娘，請別再離開我。"他們當時就舉行了婚禮，并幸福地生活著，一直到老。
千皮獸英文版：
All-kinds-of-fur (Allerleirauh)
There was once on a time a King who had a wife with golden hair, and she was so beautiful that her equal was not to be found on earth. It came to pass that she lay ill, and as she felt that she must soon die, she called the King and said, "If thou wishest to marry again after my death, take no one who is not quite as beautiful as I am, and who has not just such golden hair as I have: this thou must promise me." And after the King had promised her this she closed her eyes and died.
For a long time the King could not be comforted, and had no thought of taking another wife. At length his councillors said, "There is no help for it, the King must marry again, that we may have a Queen." And now messengers were sent about far and wide, to seek a bride who equalled the late Queen in beauty. In the whole world, however, none was to be found, and even if one had been found, still there would have been no one who had such golden hair. So the messengers came home as they went.
Now the King had a daughter, who was just as beautiful as her dead mother, and had the same golden hair. When she was grown up the King looked at her one day, and saw that in every respect she was like his late wife, and suddenly felt a violent love for her. Then he spake to his councillors, "I will marry my daughter, for she is the counterpart of my late wife, otherwise I can find no bride who resembles her." When the councillors heard that, they were shocked, and said, "God has forbidden a father to marry his daughter, no good can come from such a crime, and the kingdom will be involved in the ruin."
The daughter was still more shocked when she became aware of her father's resolution, but hoped to turn him from his design. Then she said to him, "Before I fulfil your wish, I must have three dresses, one as golden as the sun, one as silvery as the moon, and one as bright as the stars; besides this, I wish for a mantle of a thousand different kinds of fur and hair joined together, and one of every kind of animal in your kingdom must give a piece of his skin for it." But she thought, "To get that will be quite impossible, and thus I shall divert my father from his wicked intentions." The King, however, did not give it up, and the cleverest maidens in his kingdom had to weave the three dresses, one as golden as the sun, one as silvery as the moon, and one as bright as the stars, and his huntsmen had to catch one of every kind of animal in the whole of his kingdom, and take from it a piece of its skin, and out of these was made a mantle of a thousand different kinds of fur. At length, when all was ready, the King caused the mantle to be brought, spread it out before her, and said, "The wedding shall be to-morrow."
When, therefore, the King's daughter saw that there was no longer any hope of turning her father's heart, she resolved to run away from him. In the night whilst every one was asleep, she got up, and took three different things from her treasures, a golden ring, a golden spinning-wheel, and a golden reel. The three dresses of the sun, moon, and stars she put into a nutshell, put on her mantle of all kinds of fur, and blackened her face and hands with soot. Then she commended herself to God, and went away, and walked the whole night until she reached a great forest. And as she was tired, she got into a hollow tree, and fell asleep.
The sun rose, and she slept on, and she was still sleeping when it was full day. Then it so happened that the King to whom this forest belonged, was hunting in it. When his dogs came to the tree, they sniffed, and ran barking round about it. The King said to the huntsmen, "Just see what kind of wild beast has hidden itself in there." The huntsmen obeyed his order, and when they came back they said, "A wondrous beast is lying in the hollow tree; we have never before seen one like it. Its skin is fur of a thousand different kinds, but it is lying asleep." Said the King, "See if you can catch it alive, and then fasten it to the carriage, and we will take it with us." When the huntsmen laid hold of the maiden, she awoke full of terror, and cried to them, "I am a poor child, deserted by father and mother; have pity on me, and take me with you." Then said they, "Allerleirauh, thou wilt be useful in the kitchen, come with us, and thou canst sweep up the ashes." So they put her in the carriage, and took her home to the royal palace. There they pointed out to her a closet under the stairs, where no daylight entered, and said, "Hairy animal, there canst thou live and sleep." Then she was sent into the kitchen, and there she carried wood and water, swept the hearth, plucked the fowls, picked the vegetables, raked the ashes, and did all the dirty work.
Allerleirauh lived there for a long time in great wretchedness. Alas, fair princess, what is to become of thee now! It happened, however, that one day a feast was held in the palace, and she said to the cook, "May I go up-stairs for a while, and look on? I will place myself outside the door." The cook answered, "Yes, go, but you must be back here in half-an-hour to sweep the hearth." Then she took her oil-lamp, went into her den, put off her fur-dress, and washed the soot off her face and hands, so that her full beauty once more came to light. And she opened the nut, and took out her dress which shone like the sun, and when she had done that she went up to the festival, and every one made way for her, for no one knew her, and thought no otherwise than that she was a king's daughter. The King came to meet her, gave his hand to her, and danced with her, and thought in his heart, "My eyes have never yet seen any one so beautiful!" When the dance was over she curtsied, and when the King looked round again she had vanished, and none knew whither. The guards who stood outside the palace were called and questioned, but no one had seen her.
She had, however, run into her little den, had quickly taken off her dress, made her face and hands black again, put on the fur-mantle, and again was Allerleirauh. And now when she went into the kitchen, and was about to get to her work and sweep up the ashes, the cook said, "Leave that alone till morning, and make me the soup for the King; I, too, will go upstairs awhile, and take a look; but let no hairs fall in, or in future thou shalt have nothing to eat." So the cook went away, and Allerleirauh made the soup for the king, and made bread soup and the best she could, and when it was ready she fetched her golden ring from her little den, and put it in the bowl in which the soup was served. When the dancing was over, the King had his soup brought and ate it, and he liked it so much that it seemed to him he had never tasted better. But when he came to the bottom of the bowl, he saw a golden ring lying, and could not conceive how it could have got there. Then he ordered the cook to appear before him. The cook was terrified when he heard the order, and said to Allerleirauh, "Thou hast certainly let a hair fall into the soup, and if thou hast, thou shalt be beaten for it." When he came before the King the latter asked who had made the soup? The cook replied, "I made it." But the King said, "That is not true, for it was much better than usual, and cooked differently." He answered, "I must acknowledge that I did not make it, it was made by the rough animal." The King said, "Go and bid it come up here."
When Allerleirauh came, the King said, "Who art thou?" - "I am a poor girl who no longer has any father or mother." He asked further, "Of what use art thou in my palace?" She answered, "I am good for nothing but to have boots thrown at my head." He continued, "Where didst thou get the ring which was in the soup?" She answered, "I know nothing about the ring." So the King could learn nothing, and had to send her away again.
After a while, there was another festival, and then, as before, Allerleirauh begged the cook for leave to go and look on. He answered, "Yes, but come back again in half-an-hour, and make the King the bread soup which he so much likes." Then she ran into her den, washed herself quickly, and took out of the nut the dress which was as silvery as the moon, and put it on. Then she went up and was like a princess, and the King stepped forward to meet her, and rejoiced to see her once more, and as the dance was just beginning they danced it together. But when it was ended, she again disappeared so quickly that the King could not observe where she went. She, however, sprang into her den, and once more made herself a hairy animal, and went into the kitchen to prepare the bread soup. When the cook had gone up-stairs, she fetched the little golden spinning-wheel, and put it in the bowl so that the soup covered it. Then it was taken to the King, who ate it, and liked it as much as before, and had the cook brought, who this time likewise was forced to confess that Allerleirauh had prepared the soup. Allerleirauh again came before the King, but she answered that she was good for nothing else but to have boots thrown at her head, and that she knew nothing at all about the little golden spinning-wheel.
When, for the third time, the King held a festival, all happened just as it had done before. The cook said, "Faith rough-skin, thou art a witch, and always puttest something in the soup which makes it so good that the King likes it better than that which I cook," but as she begged so hard, he let her go up at the appointed time. And now she put on the dress which shone like the stars, and thus entered the hall. Again the King danced with the beautiful maiden, and thought that she never yet had been so beautiful. And whilst she was dancing, he contrived, without her noticing it, to slip a golden ring on her finger, and he had given orders that the dance should last a very long time. When it was ended, he wanted to hold her fast by her hands, but she tore herself loose, and sprang away so quickly through the crowd that she vanished from his sight. She ran as fast as she could into her den beneath the stairs, but as she had been too long, and had stayed more than half-an-hour she could not take off her pretty dress, but only threw over it her fur-mantle, and in her haste she did not make herself quite black, but one finger remained white. Then Allerleirauh ran into the kitchen, and cooked the bread soup for the King, and as the cook was away, put her golden reel into it. When the King found the reel at the bottom of it, he caused Allerleirauh to be summoned, and then he espied the white finger, and saw the ring which he had put on it during the dance. Then he grasped her by the hand, and held her fast, and when she wanted to release herself and run away, her mantle of fur opened a little, and the star-dress shone forth. The King clutched the mantle and tore it off. Then her golden hair shone forth, and she stood there in full splendour, and could no longer hide herself. And when she had washed the soot and ashes from her face, she was more beautiful than anyone who had ever been seen on earth. But the King said, "Thou art my dear bride, and we will never more part from each other." Thereupon the marriage was solemnized, and they lived happily until their death.
