乡下有一幢古老的房子,里面住着一位年老的乡绅。他有两个聪明的儿子。他们的聪明只要用上一半就够了,剩下的一半是多余的。他们想去向国王的女儿求婚,而他们也敢于这样做,因为公主宣布过,说要找一个她认为最能表现自己的人做丈夫。
这两个人做了一星期的准备──他们就只有这一点准备时间。但是这也够了,因为他们有许多学问,而他们的学问都是有用的。其中一位已经把整本拉丁文字典和这个城市出的三年的报纸,从头到尾和从尾到头,都背得烂熟。另一位精通公司法和每个市府议员所应该知道的东西,因此他认为他能谈论国家大事;此外他还学会在裤子的吊带上绣花,因为他是一个文雅和手指灵巧的人。
“我要娶这位公主!”他们两人齐声说。
于是他们的父亲就给他们每人一匹漂亮的马。那个能背诵整本字典和三年报纸的兄弟得到一匹黑色的马;那个懂得国家大事和会绣花的兄弟得到一匹乳白色的马。然后他们就在自己的嘴角上擦了一些鱼肝油,好使他们能够说话圆滑。所有的仆人都站在院子里,看他们上马。这时忽然第三位少爷来了,原来他们一共是三兄弟,但谁也不把他当个兄弟,因为他没有其它两个那样有学问,大家都把他叫做“笨汉汉斯”。
“你们穿得这么漂亮,要到什么地方去呀?”他问。
“到宫里去,向国王的女儿求婚去!你没有听到全国各地的鼓声吗?”
于是他们就把整个事儿告诉他。
“我的天!我也应该去,”笨汉汉斯说。他的两个哥哥对他大笑了一通以后,便骑着马走了。
“爸爸,我也得要一匹马,”笨汉汉斯大声说,“我现在非常想要结婚!如果她要我,她就可以得到我。她不要我,我还是要她的!”
“这完全是胡说八道!”父亲说。“我什么马也不给你。你连话都不会讲!嗨,你的两个哥哥才算得是聪明人呢!”
“如果我不配有一匹马,”笨汉汉斯说,“那么就给我一只公山羊吧,它本来就是我的,它驮得起我!”
因此他骑上了公山羊。他把两腿一夹,就在大路上跑起来了。
“嗨,嗬!真骑得够劲!我来了!”笨汉汉斯说,同时唱起歌来,他的声音引起一片回音。
但是他的两个哥哥在他的前面骑得非常斯文,一句话也不说,正在考虑讲些什么美丽的词句,因为这些东西都非在事先想好不可。
“喂!”笨汉汉斯喊道。“我来了!瞧瞧我在路上所找到的东西吧!”于是他把一只死乌鸦拿给他们看。”
“你这个笨蛋!”他们说,“你把它带着做什么?”
“我要把它送给公主!”
“好吧,你就这样做吧!”他们说后,大笑了一通,骑着马走了。
“喂,我来了!瞧瞧我现在找到了什么东西!这并不是随时可以在大路上找得到的东西呀!”
这两兄弟掉转身来,看他现在又找到了什么东西。
“笨汉!”他们说,“这不过是一只旧木鞋,而且鞋面已经没有了!难道你把这也拿去送给公主不成?”
“当然要送给她的!”笨汉汉斯说。两位兄弟又大笑了一阵,继续骑着马前进。他们走了很远。
“喂,我来了!”笨汉汉斯喊道。“嗨,事情越来越好了!好哇!真是好哇!”
“你又找到了什么东西?”两兄弟问。
“啊,”笨汉汉斯说,“这个很难说!她,公主将会多么高兴啊!”
“呸!”两个哥哥说,“那不过是沟里的一点泥巴罢了。”
“是的,一点也不错,”笨汉汉斯说,“而且是一种最好的泥巴,你连捏都捏不住。”于是他就把袋子里装满了泥巴。
这两个兄弟现在尽快地向前飞奔,所以他们来到城门口时,足足比汉斯早了一个钟头。他们一来到,马上就拿到一个求婚者的登记号码。
求婚的人多极了,分成几排,每排六个人。他们挤得那么紧,连手臂都动不了。这是非常好的,如果手臂能动,他们就会因为别人站在自己前面,把对方的背都打得稀烂。
城里所有的居民都挤到宫殿的周围来,一直挤到窗子上去;他们要看公主怎样接待她的求婚者。每个求婚者走进房间里去,马上就失去说话的能力。
“一点用也没有!”公主说。“滚开!”
现在轮到了那位能背诵整本字典的哥哥,但是他在排队的时候,把字典全忘掉了。地板在他脚下发出格格的响声。大殿的天花板是镜子做成的,所以他看到自己的脑袋是倒立着的。每个窗子旁边站着三个秘书和一位参议员。他们把求婚时所讲的话全都记下来,以便马上在报纸上发表,拿到街上去卖两个铜板。这真是可怕得很。此外,火炉里还烧着大火,把烟囱管子都烧红了。
“这块地方热得要命!”这位求婚者说。
“一点也不错,因为我的父亲今天要烤几只鸭子呀!”公主说。
糟糕!他呆呆地站在那儿。他没有料想到会碰到这类的话;他想讲句把风趣话,却一句话也讲不出来。糟糕!
“一点用也没有!”公主说。“滚开!”
于是他也只好走开了。现在第二个哥哥进来了。
“这儿真是热得可怕!”他说。
“是的,我们今天要烤几只子鸡,”公主说。
“什么──什么?”他说,同时那几位秘书全都一起写着:“什么──什么?”
“一点用也没有!”公主说。“滚开!”
现在轮到笨汉汉斯了。他骑着山羊一直走进房间里来。
“这儿真热得厉害!”他说。
“是的,因为我正在烤子鸡呀,”公主说。
“啊,那真是好极了!”笨汉汉斯说。“那么我也可以烤一只乌鸦了?”
“欢迎你烤,”公主说。“不过你用什么家什烤呢?因为我既没有罐子,也没有锅呀。”
“但是我有!”笨汉汉斯说。“这儿有一个锅,上面还有一个洋铁把手。”他取出一只旧木鞋来,同时把那只乌鸦放进里面去。
“这足够吃一餐了!”公主说。“不过我们从哪里去找酱油呢?”
“我衣袋里有的是!”笨汉汉斯说。“我这有那么多,我还可以扔掉一些呢?”说着他从衣袋里倒出一点泥巴来。
“这真叫我高兴!”公主说。“你能回答问题!你很会讲话,我愿意要你做我的丈夫。不过,你知道不知道,你讲过的每句话都被记录下来了,而且明天就要在报纸上发表?你看,每个窗子旁边站着三个秘书和一个参议员。这位老参议员最糟,因为他什么也不懂!”
她说这句话,目的无非是要吓他一下。这些秘书都傻笑起来,还在地板上洒了一滴墨水。
“哎唷!这就是所谓的绅士!”笨汉汉斯说,“那么我得把我最好的东西送给这位参议员了。”于是他就把他的衣袋翻转来,正对着参议员的脸上撒了一大把泥巴。
“做得真聪明,”公主说,“我自己就做不出来,不过我很快就也可以学会的。”
笨汉汉斯就这样成为了一个国王,得到了个妻子和一顶王冠,同时还高高地坐上王位。这个故事是我们直接从参议员办的报纸上读到的──不过它不是完全可靠的。
There is an ancient house in country and the inside live an aged country gentry.He has two son of cleverness.Their cleverness as long as use up the half enough, leave of half is surplus of.They think direction the king's daughter to propose, but they also presume so do, because princess once declared, say that to seek 1 her think most an ability to express oneself of the person is a husband.
