Jenny and Drake

Once upon a time, there was a man who was isolated from the world and lived in the wilderness. He has nothing but a flock of sheep. He makes a living by selling goat's milk and wool and buying back bread. At the same time, he also does some business of selling people and wooden spoons. His family has a wife and a little daughter. After a long time, his wife is pregnant with a child. On the night when the child was born, he went to the nearest village and invited a midwife. On the way, he met a priest who asked to live in his house. The master readily agreed and took the priest home. Since no one baptized the child around here, the master asked the priest for help, and the child was finally named Jenny.

As time went on, Jenny's parents died, leaving only him and his sister. Soon, the lives of the two brothers and sisters were in trouble, and they decided to go out and find a way out. When cleaning up, my sister found that the priest had left a knife for her godson and gave it to her brother.

Later, the two brothers and sisters rushed to the road with the only three sheep left. After three days of wandering, two brothers and sisters met a man with three dogs, and he offered to exchange animals with them. The two brothers and sisters accepted this arrangement very happily, and then both sides took their own animals on the road.

One day, Jenny and her sister came to a huge castle where forty drakes lived. When they heard that Jenny was coming, they fled into the deep underground.

As soon as Jenny saw that the castle was empty, she stayed with her sister. Every day, he goes hunting with the weapons left by the Drakes.

One day, Jenny was hunting outside. One of the drakes didn't know there was anyone in the castle, so he got up from the ground to look for food. When Jenny saw her sister there, she was scared, but she told him not to be afraid. They also gradually like each other. Every time Jenny goes hunting, his sister calls Drake. In this way, the two kept showing their love to each other until they finally got married, and Jenny had no idea. Later, my sister regretted it, fearing that Jenny would be angry if she knew the truth, but it was too late.

One day, the drake came to her and said, "You must pretend to be sick. When Jenny asks you what you want to eat, you say, "Cherry." When he asks where to find cherries, you must answer:' In a garden, it's a day's journey from here. Then, your brother left and never came back, because my three brothers who lived there would treat him well. "

Jenny's sister did as Drake said. The next day, Jenny took her three dogs to look for cherries. As soon as he arrived in cherry orchard, he jumped off his horse, drank some spring water and immediately fell into a deep sleep. The drakes surrounded him and tried to eat him, but three dogs jumped on the drakes and tore them to pieces. Then they dug a grave on the ground with their claws and buried the drake so that Jenny could not see the body. When Jenny woke up, she saw her dogs covered in blood and thought that they must have caught wild animals somewhere. Jenny was very angry when she saw that she didn't leave him any food. Nevertheless, he picked some cherries and took them back to his sister.

On hearing that Jenny was back, the Drake people fled underground in fear. Jenny's sister ate cherries and said she was fine.

One day, after Jenny went out hunting, the drake climbed out again and suggested that his sister pretend to be sick again. When her brother asked her what she wanted to eat, she replied "grapefruit". When he asked her where she could find grapefruit, she had to answer, "In a garden, it's two days' walk from here." This time, Jenny will be doomed, because there live six Drake brothers, each with two heads.

Sister did as he said, and Jenny set out with her three dogs the next day. As soon as he got to the garden, he got off his horse and planned to sit down and have a rest, then fell asleep. At first, three drakes gathered around to eat him. When they were killed by a dog, the other three people suffered the same fate. Several dogs dug another grave and buried Drake's body from the owner. Jenny woke up and saw several dogs covered in blood. Like last time, he thought they killed a wild animal, but when he saw that nothing was left for him, he couldn't help being very angry. However, he picked grapefruit and took it back to his sister. My sister said she felt much better after eating it. On hearing that Jenny was back, the Drake people ran away in fear again.

Another day, after Jenny went hunting, the drake came to his sister again and suggested that she pretend to be ill again, saying that she would eat some pears and plant them in the garden three days away from the castle. As long as Jenny accepts this request, he will definitely not come back, because there are nine Tianlong brothers living there, each with three heads.

Sister did as she was told again. The next day, Jenny took her dog to find pears. As soon as he got to the garden, he lay down and rested, and soon fell asleep.

Then, three drakes came up first, ready to eat him. When they were killed by the dog, the other six drakes came up together and fought with the dog for a long time. The noise of the fight woke Jenny up. He killed the drake and finally understood why the three dogs were covered in blood.

After that, Jenny released all the prisoners caught by the Drakes, one of whom was the daughter of a king. Out of gratitude, she wanted Jenny to be her husband, but he shirked and said, "For the sake of saving you, please take all the blind and lame people who pass by here to the castle." The princess agreed to his request and gave him a ring when he left.

After picking pears, Jenny took them back to her sister. My sister said she felt much better after eating it. As soon as the drake heard that Jenny had come back safely for the third time, he fled to the ground in fear. The next day, after Jenny went out hunting, the drake climbed out and said to his sister, "Now we are really finished, unless you find out from him where he has such great power, and then we will try to get rid of him."

One day, Jenny came back from hunting and sat by the fire with her sister at night. Her sister begged him to tell her where his strength came from. Jenny replied, "My strength lies in two fingers. If I tie them together, all my strength will disappear. "

"I don't believe it," she said, "unless I see it myself."

So he asked his sister to tie his fingers with thread and immediately became weak. Then, my sister called Drake. He stepped forward, gouged out Jenny's eyes, threw them to his dog and threw them into a dry well.

Just then, some travelers came to the well to get water and heard Jenny moaning at the bottom of the well. They approached and asked him where he was. Jenny begged them to save herself from the well, because he was a poor and unfortunate person.

The traveler put down a rope, pulled him up and let him see the light of day again. Only then did he realize that he was blind for the first time, so he asked the travelers to take him to the princess who was saved by himself and said that their hard work would be rewarded.

After being taken there, he immediately asked to see the princess. The princess didn't recognize him until he took out the ring he gave him.

When the princess learned what had happened to him, she summoned witches from all over the country, hoping to learn the whereabouts of Jenny's eyes from them. Finally, she did find such a witch, who claimed to know where her eyes had gone and could restore them. The witch went directly to the castle where Jenny's sister and the drake lived, and threw something to some dogs, some of whom spit out their eyes. She took her eyes back and put them back in Jenny's eyes, so he saw the light again as usual.

After that, Jenny went back to Drake Castle, killed Drake and her sister, and then took her dog back to the princess and married her.

Devil's servant

Once upon a time, in maliano, there lived a poor woman named Marcella. She has raised six beautiful daughters, all straight, like a small fir tree, and a son named Antonio, who is almost an idiot. Not a day goes by without his mother saying to him, "What are you doing, useless thing? If you are not stupid enough to take care of yourself, I will kick you out of the house and never see you again. "

The young man does stupid things every day. One day, Marcella finally lost patience and gave him a good beating. Antonio was very afraid. He ran until it was dark, and the stars in the sky shone. He walked aimlessly for a while, not knowing where to go. Finally, he came to a cave where a demon sat and said he was as ugly as he was.

He has a big head and a wrinkled face-eyebrows close together, squint eyes, flat nose, and two huge fangs sticking out of his mouth like a wide gap. He is covered in hair, with huge arms, legs like two swords and feet like duck's feet. In short, the ugliest and funniest things in the world are all about him.

However, although Antonio is a man with many shortcomings, he is by no means a coward. Besides, he is a young man with a pleasant talk. He took off his hat and said, "Hello, sir. I hope you are in good health. How far is it from here to where I want to go? "

The devil couldn't help laughing when he heard this unusual question. Because I like this young man's polite attitude, I talked to him and said, "What are you going to do with me?"

"How much do you pay me?" Antonio replied.

"If you are honest and willing to work," the devil replied, "I promise to give you a satisfactory salary."

The deal was made, and Antonio agreed to be the devil's servant. He was treated well in every way. Because he doesn't have much work, or even any work to do. As a result, in a few days, he grew as fat as a black bear, as thick as a barrel, as red as a lobster and as aggressive as a chicken.

But two years later, young people began to get tired of this idle life and longed to go home. The devil who read his mind knew that he was unhappy and said to him, "Dear Antonio, I know that you really want to see your mother and sisters again, because I also regard you as my own treasure, so I would like to let you go home." Take this donkey, and you won't have to walk. But be careful not to say' bad' to it, or you will regret it. "

Antonio led the donkey, jumped on the donkey's back and left in a hurry without saying thank you. He came down without walking 200 yards, and at the same time he said, "That's too bad."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the donkey opened his mouth and spit out some rubies, emeralds, diamonds and pearls the size of walnuts.

Antonio looked at these treasures in surprise, put them into a big pocket excitedly, then rode on the donkey's back and walked on to a hotel. When he got off the donkey's back, he went straight to the shopkeeper and asked, "Dear sir, I want you to help me put the donkey in a pen and give the poor animal enough oats and hay." Be careful not to say' bad' to it, or I dare say you will regret it. Take this heavy bag and take good care of it. "

The shopkeeper is not stupid. Hearing this strange warning and seeing the light in the canvas pocket, he was anxious to know what would happen after using taboo words. So he prepared a table for Antonio and sent a bottle of good old wine to make his bed comfortable. As soon as the poor fool closed his eyes and heard sleepy snoring, the shopkeeper ran to the barn and said "bad or bad" to the donkey. As a result, the animal spat out many precious stones.

Seeing these treasures, the shopkeeper wanted this priceless animal, so he decided to steal the donkey from this stupid customer. At dawn the next day, Antonio woke up, rubbed his eyes, moved his limbs and called the shopkeeper, "Friend, please come and bring the bill. Early accounts, long friendship. "

Antonio paid the bill, went to the barn, took out the donkey he thought was his own, and tied a bag of stones on the donkey's back, because the shopkeeper changed his jewelry and got up and went home.

As soon as he got home, he shouted, "mom, come quickly, bring the tablecloth and sheets and spread them on the floor." Look what good baby I brought back to you! " "

His mother hurried back to the house, opened the linen bag for her daughter's wedding dress, took out the tablecloth and sheets, and laid them flat on the ground. Antonio let the donkey stand on it, and then shouted "No", but this time he heard nothing, because the donkey ignored the spell. Donkey ears usually respond when they hear the lyre playing. Antonio shouted "unfavorable or unfavorable" again and again, which was as useless as following the trend.

Out of disgust and anger at the poor animal, he grabbed a thick stick and hit it until it almost broke its bone. The poor donkey went mad because of such abuse. Instead of spitting out the jewels, he tore and stained the linen.

The tablecloth and sheets were destroyed, and instead of getting the treasure, they were teased. Poor marcela grabbed another stick and beat Antonio up, forcing him to run away and run back to the demon cave before stopping.

When the master saw the child come back in such a mess, he immediately understood what was going on. Instead of pestering the matter, the owner told Antonio that he was so stupid that the shopkeeper took advantage of him and cheated the donkey away from him with a bad animal.

Antonio humbly listened to the devil's reprimand and vowed not to be stupid again. A year later, Antonio was homesick again and wanted to see his relatives again.

Although the goblins are ugly, they are kind-hearted. Seeing Antonio so depressed and depressed, the devil allowed him to go home again. When he left, the devil gave him a beautiful tablecloth and said, "Give this to your mother. Be careful not to lose it again. You lost that donkey last time. Never say' tablecloth, open' and' tablecloth, close' until you get home safely. If you do this, disaster will surely befall you. I warned you. "

Antonio set off, but not far from the cave, he put the tablecloth on the ground and said, "tablecloth, open it." In a short time, the tablecloth opened automatically, and a large number of treasures such as gems were displayed one by one.

Seeing this situation, Antonio said, "Cover the tablecloth" and went on his way. He came to the last hotel, called the owner and asked him to take good care of the tablecloth. Never say anything like "tablecloth, open" or "tablecloth, closed".

The rogue shopkeeper replied, "just give it to me, and I'll keep it as my own."

After entertaining Antonio to eat and drink and making the bed, the shopkeeper went directly to the tablecloth and said, "tablecloth, open it." The tablecloth was suddenly opened, revealing extremely expensive property, and the shopkeeper was stolen on the spot.

The next day, when Antonio woke up, his master handed him an identical tablecloth. Silly boy carefully hung the tablecloth on his arm and went straight back to his mother's house. He said to his mother, "now our family can get rich, which is beyond the reach of greedy dreams." We don't have to walk around in rags anymore, and there is no shortage of delicious food. "

After that, he spread the tablecloth on the ground and shouted "tablecloth, open it". Even if he said the spell a hundred times, it was useless, because nothing appeared. When Antonio saw this, he turned to his mother and said, "The shopkeeper who is no different from a robber lied to me again, and I want him to regret it." If I go into his hotel again, I will definitely make him suffer from taking money from donkeys. "

Marcella was so angry about being disappointed again that she couldn't help feeling bored. She turned to Antonio, scolded him and told him to leave here at once, because she never wanted to recognize this son again. The poor boy was upset by his mother's words and returned to his master like a dog with its tail between its legs. As soon as the devil saw him, he immediately guessed what had happened. He scolded Antonio severely: "I really don't know how to put my words in your head, you useless fool!" " If you have something to say, you should shake it out. Your long tongue never stops. If you didn't say anything in the hotel, this disaster can't catch up with you. That's it. You asked for it. "

Antonio listened to his master like a beaten dog. After working under the demon for another three years, I feel homesick again, and I miss my mother and sisters beyond words.

So, he once again asked to go home to visit relatives, and he immediately agreed. When he left, the demon gave him a beautifully carved stick and said, "Take this stick as my souvenir. Remember not to say' stand up and insist' and' lie down and insist', because if you do, I can only say that I won't be in the same situation as you. "

Antonio took a stick and said, "Don't make a fuss. I am not as stupid as you think, I know better than most people. "

"I'm glad to hear that," the devil replied. "Words are like women, but actions are men. You heard everything I said. Be prepared. "

Antonio expressed his heartfelt thanks to his host for his kindness this time, and then happily embarked on a journey home. But before he had walked half a mile, he said, "stand up, stick."

As soon as the words were spoken, the stick stood up as fast as lightning and began to rain down on poor Antonio's back, making him almost powerless to call "Lie down, stick". Fortunately, as soon as this statement came out, bonzi lay down and didn't beat him black and blue.

Although he suffered a little loss and learned a lesson, Antonio was full of joy because he found a way to get back at the hateful shopkeeper. He came to the hotel again, and the hotel owner received him very friendly and warmly. Antonio greeted him kindly and said, "friend, please take care of this stick for me, but in any case, don't say' stand up, stick', otherwise you will regret it, and don't expect me to give you any sympathy."

The shopkeeper thought that the third time luck came, and Antonio had a sumptuous dinner. Seeing him lying comfortably in bed, the shopkeeper called his wife to watch the fun together, then ran towards the stick and shouted impatiently "Stand up, stick".

When he said this, the stick jumped up and hit the shopkeeper, making him and his wife go straight to Antonio, screaming as they ran, waking Antonio up and begging for mercy.

As soon as the plan was implemented, Antonio said, "I won't save you unless you give me back what you stole from me, then you are dead." The shopkeeper thought he was going to be killed and shouted, "Take your things, as long as I don't suffer from this terrible stick." With these words, he had donkeys, tablecloths and other items sent over and returned them to their original owners.

As soon as Antonio recovered his belongings, he immediately said, "Lie down, stick", and the stick immediately stopped hitting the shopkeeper.

Then, he returned home safely with his donkey, tablecloth and stick. This time, all the spells were followed, and the donkey and tablecloth brought endless wealth to the whole family. Before long, Antonio married all his sisters, which made his mother rich and they lived happily ever after.
