“是的,你是一个聪明人,说得有道理,”田鼠说。“冬天一到,这些‘唧唧喳喳’的歌声对于一只雀子有什么用呢?他只有挨饿和受冻的一条路。不过我想这就是大家所谓的了不起的事情吧!”
拇指姑娘一句话也不说。不过当他们两个人把背掉向这燕子的时候,她就弯下腰来,把盖在他头上的那一簇羽毛温柔地向旁边拂了几下,同时在他闭着的双眼上轻轻地接了一个吻。
“在夏天对我唱出那么美丽的歌的人也许就是他了,”她想。“他不知给了我多少快乐——他,这只亲爱的、美丽的鸟儿!”
“再会吧,你这美丽的小鸟儿!”她说。“再会吧!在夏天,当所有的树儿都变绿了的时候,当太阳光温暖地照着我们的时候,你唱出美丽的歌声——我要为这感谢你!”于是她把头贴在这鸟儿的胸膛上。她马上惊恐起来,因为他身体里面好像有件什么东西在跳动,这就是鸟儿的一颗心。这鸟儿并没有死,他只不过是躺在那儿冻得失去了知觉罢了。现在他得到了温暖,所以又活了起来。
在秋天,所有的燕子都向温暖的国度飞去。不过,假如有一只掉了队,他就会遇到寒冷,于是他就会冻得落下来,像死了一样;他只有躺在他落下的那块地上,让冰冻的雪花把他全身盖满。
拇指姑娘真是抖得厉害,因为她是那么惊恐;这鸟儿,跟只有寸把高的她比起来,真是太庞大了。可是她鼓起勇气来。她把棉花紧紧地裹在这只可怜的鸟儿的身上;同时她把自己常常当作被盖的那张薄荷叶拿来,覆在这鸟儿的头上。
第二天夜里,她又偷偷地去看他。他现在已经活了,不过还是有点昏迷。他只能把眼睛微微地睁开一忽儿,望了拇指姑娘一下。拇指姑娘手里拿着一块引火柴站着,因为她没有别的灯盏。
“我感谢你——你,可爱的小宝宝!”这只身体不太好的燕子对她说,“我现在真是舒服和温暖!不久就可以恢复体力,又可以飞了,在暖和的阳光中飞了。”
“啊,”她说。“外面是多么冷啊。雪花在飞舞,遍地都在结冰。还是请你睡在你温暖的床上吧,我可以来照料你呀。”
她用花瓣盛着水送给燕子。燕子喝了水以后,就告诉她说,他有一个翅膀曾经在一个多刺的
燕子在这儿住了一整个冬天。拇指姑娘待他很好,非常喜欢他,
当春天一到来,太阳把大地照得很温暖的时候,燕子就向拇指姑娘告别了。她把
“不成,我不能离开!”拇指姑娘说。
“那么再会吧,再会吧,你这善良的、可爱的姑娘!”燕子说。于是他就向太阳飞去。拇指姑娘在后面望着他,她的两眼里闪着泪珠,因为她是那么喜爱这只可怜的燕子。
“滴丽!滴丽!”燕子唱着歌,向一个绿色的森林飞去。
拇指姑娘感到非常难过。田鼠不许她走到温暖的太阳光中去。在田鼠屋顶上的田野里,麦子已经长得很高了。对于这个可怜的小女孩子说来,这麦子简直是一起浓密的森林,因为她究竟不过只有一寸来高呀。
“在这个夏天,你得把你的新嫁衣缝好!”田鼠对她说,因为她的那个讨厌的邻居——那个穿着黑天鹅绒袍子的
拇指姑娘现在得摇起纺车来。
“四个星期以后,你的婚礼就要举行了,”田鼠对她说。但是拇指姑娘哭了起来,说她不愿意和这讨厌的
“胡说!”田鼠说,“你不要固执;不然的话,我就要用我的白牙齿来咬你!他是一个很可爱的人,你得和他结婚!就是皇后也没有他那样好的黑天鹅绒袍子哩!他的厨房和储藏室里都藏满了东西。你得到这样一个丈夫,应该感谢上帝!”
现在婚礼要举行了。
“再会吧,您,光明的太阳!”她说着,同时向空中伸出双手,并且向田鼠的屋子外面走了几步——因为现在大麦已经收割了,这儿只剩下干枯的茬子。“再会吧,再会吧!”她又重复地说,同时用双臂抱住一朵还在开着的小红花。“假如你看到了那只小燕子的话,我请求你代我向他问候一声。”
“滴丽!滴丽!”在这时候,一个声音忽然在她的头上叫起来。她抬头一看,这正是那只小燕子刚刚在飞过。他一看到拇指姑娘,就显得非常高兴。她告诉他说,她多么不愿意要那个丑恶的
“寒冷的冬天现在要到来了,”小燕子说。“我要飞得很远,飞到温暖的国度里去。你愿意跟我一块儿去吗?你可以骑在我的背上!你用腰带紧紧地把你自己系牢。这样我们就可以离开这丑恶的
“是的,我将和你一块儿去!”拇指姑娘说。她坐在这鸟儿的背上,把脚搁在他展开的双翼上,同时把自己用腰带紧紧地系在他最结实的一根羽毛上。这么着,燕子就飞向空中,飞过森林,飞过大海,高高地飞过常年积雪的大山。在这寒冷的高空中,拇指姑娘冻得抖起来。但是这时她就钻进这鸟儿温暖的羽毛里去。她只是把她的小脑袋伸出来,欣赏她下面的美丽风景。
最后他们来到了温暖的国度。那儿的太阳比在我们这里照得光耀多了,天似乎也是加倍地高。田沟里,篱笆上,都生满了最美丽的绿葡萄和蓝葡萄。树林里处处悬挂着柠
“这儿就是我的房子,”燕子说。“不过,下面长着许多美丽的花,你可以选择其中的一朵;我可以把你放在它上面。那么你要想住得怎样舒服,就可以怎样舒服了。”
“那好极了,”她说,拍着她的一双小手。
那儿有一根巨大的大理石柱。它已经倒在地上,并且跌成了三段。不过在它们中间生出一朵最美丽的白色鲜花。燕子带着拇指姑娘飞下来,把她放在它的一起宽阔的花瓣上面。这个小姑娘感到多么惊奇啊!在那朵花的中央坐着一个小小的男子!——他是那么白皙和透明,好像是
“我的天啦!他是多么美啊!”拇指姑娘对燕子低声说。这位小小的王子非常害怕这只燕子,因为他是那么细小和柔嫩,对他说来,燕子简直是一只庞大的鸟儿。不过当他看到拇指姑娘的时候,他马上就变得高兴起来:她是他一生中所看到的一位最美丽的姑娘。因此他从头上取下金王冠,把它戴到她的头上。他问了她的姓名,问她愿不愿意做他的夫人——这样她就可以做一切花儿的皇后了。这位王子才真配称为她的丈夫呢,他比*?癞蛤蟆的儿子和那只穿大黑天鹅绒袍子的
“你现在不应该再叫拇指姑娘了!”花的安琪儿对她说。“这是一个很丑的名字,而你是那么美丽!从今以后,我们要把你叫玛娅(注:在希腊神话里,玛娅(Maja)是顶天的巨神阿特拉斯(Atlas)和平勒俄涅(Pleione)所生的七位女儿中最大的一位,也是最美的一位。这七位姊妹和她们的父母一起代表金牛宫(Taurus)中九颗最明亮的星星。它们在五月间(收获时期)出现,在10月间(第二次播种时期)隐藏起来。)。”
“再会吧!再会吧!”那只小燕子说。他又从这温暖的国度飞走了,飞回到很远很远的丹麦去。在丹麦,他在一个会写童话的人的窗子上筑了一个小
这篇童话发表于1835年哥本哈根出版的《讲给孩子们听的故事》里。它既是童话,又是诗,因为它的情节美丽动人,同时又有很浓厚的诗意。拇指姑娘虽然身材小得微不足道,生活环境也很艰苦,但她却具有伟大高超的理想:她向往光明和自由。此外,她还有一颗非常善良的心。田鼠和

安徒生童话英文版篇一THE ELFIN HILL
A FEW large lizards were running nimbly about in the clefts of an old tree. They could understand one another very well, for they spoke the lizard language. "What a buzzing and a rumbling there is in the elfin hill," said one of the lizards.
"I have not been able to close my eyes for two nights on account of the noise; I might just as well have had the toothache, for that always keeps me awake."
"There is something going on within there," said the other lizard; "they propped up the top of the hill with four red posts, till cock-crowthis morning, so that it is thoroughly aired, and the elfin girls have learnt new dances; there is something."
"I spoke about it to an earth-worm of my acquaintance," said a third lizard; "the earth-worm had just come from the elfin hill, where he has been groping about in the earth day and night. He has heard a great deal; although he cannot see, poor miserable creature, yet he understands very well how to wriggle and lurk about. They expect friends in the elfin hill, grand company, too; but who they are the earth-worm would not say, or, perhaps, he really did not know. All the will-o'-the-wisps are ordered to be there to hold a torch dance, as it is called. The silver and gold which is plentiful in the hill will be polished and placed out in the moonlight."
"Who can the strangers be?" asked the lizards; "what can the matter be? Hark, what a buzzing and humming there is!"
Just at this moment the elfin hill opened, and an old elfin maiden, hollow behind, came tripping out; she was the old elf king's housekeeper, and a distant relative of the family; therefore she wore an amber heart on the middle of her forehead. Her feet moved very fast, "trip, trip;" good gracious, how she could trip right down to the sea to the night-raven.
"You are invited to the elf hill for this evening," said she; "but will you do me a great favor and undertake the invitations? you oughtto do something, for you have no housekeeping to attend to as I have. We are going to have some very grand people, conjurors, who have always something to say; and therefore the old elf king wishes to make a great display."
"Who is to be invited?" asked the raven.
"All the world may come to the great ball, even human beings, if they can only talk in their sleep, or do something after our fashion. But for the feast the company must be carefully selected; we can only admit persons of high rank; I have had a dispute myself with the elf king, as he thought we could not admit ghosts. The merman and his daughter must be invited first, although it may not be agreeable to them to remain so long on dry land, but they shall have a wet stone to sit on, or perhaps something better; so I think they will not refuse this time. We must have all the old demons of the first class, with tails, and the hobgoblins and imps; and then I think we ought not to leave out the death-horse, or the grave-pig, or even the church dwarf, although they do belong to the clergy, and are not reckoned among our people; but that is merely their office, they are nearly related to us, and visit us very frequently."
"Croak," said the night-raven as he flew away with the invitations.
The elfin maidens we're already dancing on the elf hill, and they danced in shawls woven from moonshine and mist, which look very pretty to those who like such things. The large hall within the elf hill was splendidly decorated; the floor had been washed with moonshine, and the walls had been rubbed with magic ointment, so that they glowed like tulip-leaves in the light. In the kitchen were frogs roasting on the spit, and dishes preparing of snail skins, with children's fingers in them, salad of mushroom seed, hemlock, noses and marrow of mice, beer from the marsh woman's brewery, and sparkling salt-petre wine from the grave cellars. These were all substantial food. Rusty nails and church-window glass formed the dessert. The old elf king had his gold crown polished up with powdered slate-pencil; it was like that used by the first form, and very difficult for an elf king to obtain. In the bedrooms, curtains were hung up and fastened with the slime of snails; there was, indeed, a buzzing and humming everywhere.
"Now we must fumigate the place with burnt horse-hair and pig's bristles, and then I think I shall have done my part," said the elf man-servant.
"Father, dear," said the youngest daughter, "may I now hear who our high-born visitors are?"
"Well, I suppose I must tell you now," he replied; "two of my daughters must prepare themselves to be married, for the marriages certainly will take place. The old goblin from Norway, who lives in the ancient Dovre mountains, and who possesses many castles built of rock and freestone, besides a gold mine, which is better than all, so it is thought, is coming with his two sons, who are both seeking a wife. The old goblin is a true-hearted, honest, old Norwegian graybeard; cheerful and straightforward. I knew him formerly, when we used to drink together to our good fellowship: he came here once to fetch his wife, she is dead now. She was the daughter of the king of the chalk-hills at Moen. They say he took his wife from chalk; I shall be delighted to see him again. It is said that the boys are ill-bred, forward lads, but perhaps that is not quite correct, and they will become better as they grow older. Let me see that you know how to teach them good manners."
"And when are they coming?" asked the daughter.
"That depends upon wind and weather," said the elf king; "they travel economically. They will come when there is the chance of a ship. I wanted them to come over to Sweden, but the old man was not inclined to take my advice. He does not go forward with the times, and that I do not like."
Two will-o'-the-wisps came jumping in, one quicker than the other, so of course, one arrived first. "They are coming! they are coming!" he cried.
"Give me my crown," said the elf king, "and let me stand in the moonshine."
The daughters drew on their shawls and bowed down to the ground. There stood the old goblin from the Dovre mountains, with his crown of hardened ice and polished fir-cones. Besides this, he wore a bear-skin, and great, warm boots, while his sons went with their throats bare and wore no braces, for they were strong men.
"Is that a hill?" said the youngest of the boys, pointing to the elf hill, "we should call it a hole in Norway."
"Boys," said the old man, "a hole goes in, and a hill stands out; have you no eyes in your heads?"
Another thing they wondered at was, that they were able without trouble to understand the language.
"Take care," said the old man, "or people will think you have not been well brought up."
Then they entered the elfin hill, where the select and grand company were assembled, and so quickly had they appeared that they seemed to have been blown together. But for each guest the neatest and pleasantest arrangement had been made. The sea folks sat at table in great water-tubs, and they said it was just like being at home. All behaved themselves properly excepting the two young northern goblins; they put their legs on the table and thought they were all right.
"Feet off the table-cloth!" said the old goblin. They obeyed, but not immediately. Then they tickled the ladies who waited at table, with the fir-cones, which they carried in their pockets. They took off their boots, that they might be more at ease, and gave them to the ladies to hold. But their father, the old goblin, was very different; he talked pleasantly about the stately Norwegian rocks, and told fine tales of the waterfalls which dashed over them with a clattering noise like thunder or the sound of an organ, spreading their white foam on every side. He told of the salmon that leaps in the rushing waters, while the water-god plays on his golden harp. He spoke of the bright winter nights, when the sledge bells are ringing, and the boys run with burning torches across the smooth ice, which is so transparent that they can see the fishes dart forward beneath their feet. He described everything so clearly, that those who listened could see it all; they could see the saw-mills going, the men-servants and the maidens singing songs, and dancing a rattling dance,- when all at once the old goblin gave the old elfin maiden a kiss, such a tremendous kiss, and yet they were almost strangers to each other.
Then the elfin girls had to dance, first in the usual way, and then with stamping feet, which they performed very well; then followed the artistic and solo dance. Dear me, how they did throw their legs about! No one could tell where the dance begun, or where it ended, nor indeed which were legs and which were arms, for they were all flying about together, like the shavings in a saw-pit! And then they spun round so quickly that the death-horse and the grave-pig became sick and giddy, and were obliged to leave the table.
"Stop!" cried the old goblin," is that the only house-keeping they can perform? Can they do anything more than dance and throw about their legs, and make a whirlwind?"
"You shall soon see what they can do," said the elf king. And then he called his youngest daughter to him. She was slender and fair as moonlight, and the most graceful of all the sisters. She took a white chip in her mouth, and vanished instantly; this was her accomplishment. But the old goblin said he should not like his wife to have such an accomplishment, and thought his boys would have the same objection. Another daughter could make a figure like herself follow her, as if she had a shadow, which none of the goblin folk ever had. The third was of quite a different sort; she had learnt in the brew-house of the moor witch how to lard elfin puddings with glow-worms.
"She will make a good housewife," said the old goblin, and then saluted her with his eyes instead of drinking her health; for he did not drink much.
Now came the fourth daughter, with a large harp to play upon; and when she struck the first chord, every one lifted up the left leg (for the goblins are left-legged), and at the second chord they found they must all do just what she wanted.
"That is a dangerous woman," said the old goblin; and the two sons walked out of the hill; they had had enough of it. "And what can the next daughter do?" asked the old goblin.
"I have learnt everything that is Norwegian," said she; "and I will never marry, unless I can go to Norway."
Then her youngest sister whispered to the old goblin, "That is only because she has heard, in a Norwegian song, that when the world shall decay, the cliffs of Norway will remain standing like monuments; and she wants to get there, that she may be safe; for she is so afraid of sinking."
"Ho! ho!" said the old goblin, "is that what she means? Well, what can the seventh and last do?"
"The sixth comes before the seventh," said the elf king, for he could reckon; but the sixth would not come forward.
"I can only tell people the truth," said she. "No one cares for me, nor troubles himself about me; and I have enough to do to sew my grave clothes."
So the seventh and last came; and what could she do? Why, she could tell stories, as many as you liked, on any subject.
