There is a soldier walking on the highway-one, two! One, two! He is carrying a marching bag with a long sword around his waist, because he has participated in several wars and is going home now. He met an old witch on the road; She is a disgusting person with milk hanging from her lower lip. She said, "Good night, soldier! Your sword is really good, your marching bag is really big, you are a real soldier! Now you can have as much money as you want. "

"Thank you, old witch!" The soldier said.

"Do you see that big tree?" The witch pointed to a tree next to them and said. "There is empty. If you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see a hole. If you slide down from there, you can go deep into the tree. I want you to tie a rope around your waist so that when you call me, I can pull you up. "

"What am I going to do under the tree?" The soldier asked.

"Take the money," replied the witch. "As soon as you get under the tree, you will know that you will see a wide corridor. It's very bright there, because there are more than 100 lights on. You will see three doors, all of which can be opened, because the key is in the door lock. When you walk into the first room, you can see a big box with a dog sitting on it. Its eyes are big, like a pair of teacups. But leave it alone! I can give you my blue plaid apron. You spread it on the ground, then go quickly, pick up the dog and put it on my apron. So you open the box and take out as much money as you want. All this money is made of copper. But if you want to withdraw money from Athena Chu, you must enter the second room. But there sat a dog with eyes as big as a waterwheel. But ignore it. You put it on my apron and take out the money. However, if you want money made of gold, you can also achieve your goal. Take as much as you can-if you go to the third room. But the eyes of the dog sitting on the cash box here are as big as the round tower. You know, it's a dog! But you have nothing to be afraid of. Put it on my apron, it won't hurt you. Take as much gold as possible from the box. "

(1) this refers to the famous "round tower" in Copenhagen; It used to be an observatory.

"That's not bad," said the soldier. "But what shall I reward you with? Old witch? I don't think you want anything. "

"No," said the witch, "I don't want a penny. I just want you to help me take out that old tinder box. That's what my grandmother left in it last time. "

"all right! Please tie the rope around my waist. " The soldier said.

"All right," said the witch. "Take my blue plaid apron."

The soldier climbed the tree and slipped into the hole at once. As the old witch said, he is now in a big corridor with hundreds of lights on. He opened the first door. Oh, dear! Sure enough, there is a dog sitting there. Eyes as big as teacups, staring at him.

"You good man!" The soldier said. So he put it on the witch's apron. Then he took out a lot of copper coins and put them in his pocket as much as possible. He locked the box and put the dog on it, so he went into the second room. Oh, dear! Here sits a dog with eyes as big as a pair of waterwheels.

"You shouldn't stare at me like that," said the soldier. "Then you broke your eyes." He put the dog on the witch's apron. When he saw so many silver coins in the box, he threw away all the copper coins and filled his pockets and marching bags with silver coins. Then he went into the third room-boy, this is a little scary! A dog's eyes here are as big as a "round tower"! They spin in their heads, just like wheels!

"Good night!" The soldier said. He raised his hand to his hat because he had never seen such a dog. However, after reading it for a while, he thought, "It's almost finished now." He took it down and put it on the ground. So he opened the box. Jesus Christ. There are so many gold coins in it! He can use this gold to buy the whole of Copenhagen, he can buy all the sugar pigs of the women who sell cakes, and he can buy all the tin soldiers, whips and rocking horses in the world. Yes, there is a lot of money-the soldiers emptied all the silver coins in their pockets and marching bags and put gold in them. Yes, his pockets, his marching bag, his hat and his boots are all full, and he can hardly walk. Now he is really rich. He put the dog on the box again, locked the door and shouted at it from the tree, "Pull me up, old witch!" " "

This refers to vendors selling snacks and toys in Denmark in the old society. Sukkergrise is a pig made of sugar and can be eaten as a toy.

"Did you get the lighter box?" Asked the witch.

"Exactly!" The soldier said. "I completely forgot." So he went down to get the lighter box. The witch pulled him out. So now he is standing on the road again. His pockets, boots, marching bags and hats are full of money.

"What's the use of this tinder box?" The soldier asked.

"It's none of your business," retorted the witch. "You've got the money-just give me the lighter box."

"Nonsense!" The soldier said. "What do you want it for? Please tell me at once. Or I'll draw my sword and cut off your head. "

I can't tell you! Said the witch.

The soldier immediately cut off her head. She fell! He wrapped all his money in her apron and carried it on his back like a burden; Then, he put the tinder box in his pocket and walked straight to the city.

This is a beautiful city! He stayed in one of the best hotels, opened the most comfortable room and ordered his favorite table, because he is rich now and has a lot of money. The waiter who cleaned his boots thought his shoes were so ridiculous for a rich gentleman like him. But he hasn't had time to buy a new one. The next day, he bought suitable boots and beautiful clothes. Now our soldier has become a brand-new gentleman. Everyone told him everything about the city, everything about the king, and that the king's daughter was a very beautiful princess.

"Where can I see her?" The soldier asked.

"No one can see her," everyone said in unison. "She lives in a huge copper palace, surrounded by several walls and towers. Only the king himself can go in and out there freely, because it is predicted that she will marry an ordinary soldier, which the king can't stand. "

"I want to see her," thought the soldier, but he couldn't get permission.

He lives happily now. He often goes to the theatre, visits the king's garden and sends a lot of money to the poor. This is a good behavior, because he has realized how terrible it is to have no money! Now he is rich, has gorgeous clothes to wear and has made many friends. These friends all say that he is a rare figure, a chivalrous man. This makes the soldiers sound comfortable. But he just spends money every day, but he can't make money. So in the end he only had two coppers left. So he had to move out of those beautiful rooms and live in the attic on the top floor. He had to clean his shoes and mend them. None of his friends came to see him because he had to climb a very high ladder.

One night, it was dark. He can't even afford candles. Then he suddenly remembered that there was a candle in his tinder box-it was the tinder box that the witch helped him take out under the empty tree. He took out the tinder box and the candle head. When he brushed on the flint and Mars appeared, the door suddenly opened automatically, and the dog with eyes as big as a teacup he saw under the tree appeared in front of him. It says:

"What can I do for you, my master?"

"What is this?" Bingtu said. "This is really an interesting tinder box. If only I could get what I want in this way! Get me some money! " He said to the dog. So with a hiss, the dog disappeared. After a while, there was another hiss, and the dog came back with a big pocket of money.

Now the soldiers know what a wonderful tinder box it is. As soon as he wiped it, the dog came and sat on the box containing copper coins. If he brushes it twice, the dog with silver will come. If he brushes it three times, only the dog with gold will appear. Now the soldiers have moved to those gorgeous rooms and put on beautiful clothes again. All his friends recognized him at once, and they were very concerned about him.

Once he thought to himself, "it's strange that people can't go to see the princess." Everyone says she is beautiful; But what's the point if she has been living alone in that copper palace with many towers? Can't I see her? Where is my tinder box? " He wiped Mars and immediately hissed, and the dog with eyes like a teacup jumped out.

"It's midnight, which is not bad at all," said the soldier. "But I really want to see the princess, even for a while."

The dog ran out of the door at once To the soldier's surprise, he brought the princess back soon. She fell asleep on the dog's back. Anyone can see that she is a real princess because she is very beautiful. The soldier couldn't help kissing her because he was a real Chuba.

The dog took the princess back again. But after dawn, when the king and queen were drinking tea, the princess said that she had a very strange dream at night. She dreamed that a dog and a soldier were riding on the dog and the soldier kissed her. "This is a very interesting story!" Said the queen.

So the next night, an old maid-in-waiting had to stay by the princess's bed to see if it was a dream or something else.

The soldier is eager to see the lovely princess again. So the dog came again at night, picked her up and ran away as soon as possible. The old maid-in-waiting immediately put on her overshoes and chased her up at the same speed. When she saw them running into a big house, she thought, "I know this place now." She drew a big cross on the door with white powder. Then she went back to sleep, and soon the dog sent the princess back. But when it saw a cross on the door of the house where the soldiers lived, it also picked up a piece of chalk and drew a cross on all the doors in the city. This is a clever move, because all the doors have crosses, so the old maid-in-waiting can't find the right position.

In the morning, the king, queen, old ladies-in-waiting and all the officials came early to see where the princess had gone.

When the king saw a cross on the first door, he said, "Here it is!" " "

But the queen found a cross on another door, so she said, "dear husband, isn't it here?"

At this time, everyone said with one voice: "There is one! There is one there! " Because no matter where they look, they will find a cross painted on the door. So they think that if they keep looking, there will be no result.

But the queen is a very clever woman. She can not only take a carriage, but also do some other things. She took out a pair of golden scissors, cut a piece of silk into several pieces, and sewed a very delicate pouch, which contained very fine buckwheat flour. She tied the bag on the princess's back. After this arrangement, she cut a small mouth on the bag so that the princess could sprinkle fine powder on all the roads she passed.

At night, the dog came again. It carried the princess on its back and took her to the soldiers. Soldiers love her very much now; He really wants to be a prince and marry her.

The dog didn't notice that the flour had spilled from the palace to the window of the soldier's room-it climbed in here with the princess on its back. In the morning, the king and queen have seen clearly and know where their daughter has gone. They caught the soldier and put him in prison.

He is sitting in prison now. Hey, it's dark and stuffy in there! People said to him, "Tomorrow you will be hanged." This sentence really doesn't sound funny. He left the lighter box in the hotel. The next morning, he saw many people pouring out of the city through the bars in the small window to see him hanged. He heard drums and saw soldiers marching. All the people are running outside. One of these people is a shoemaker's apprentice. He is also wearing a broken apron and a pair of slippers. He ran so fast that even a pair of his slippers flew away and ran into the wall. The soldier sat there and looked out from behind the iron fence.

"Hey, you shoemaker's child! Don't be in such a hurry! " The soldier said to him. "Before I didn't show up, there was nothing to see. But if you run to my place and get my lighter box, I can give you four dollars. But you have to run hard. " The shoemaker's apprentice wanted the four dollars very much, so he lifted his foot and ran away, giving it to the soldier with a lighter box, and at the same time-well, we knew immediately what had changed. A tall gallows has been erected outside the city. There are many soldiers and thousands of people standing around. The king and the king sat on a magnificent throne with their backs facing the judge and all the jurors.

The soldier is already standing on the ladder. However, when people want to put the noose around his neck, he said that a sinner can have an innocent request before he is tried, and people should satisfy him: he really wants to smoke a cigarette, which can be said to be his last cigarette in the world.

The king was unwilling to refuse the request. So the soldier took out his lighter box and rubbed it a few times. One, two, three! Suddenly all three dogs jumped out: one eye was as big as a teacup, the other as big as a water cart-and the other as big as a "round tower".

"Please help me, don't let me be hanged!" The soldier said.

At this time, the dogs rushed at the judge and all the judges, dragging the man's leg, biting the man's nose and throwing them into the air a few feet high. I fell into a paste when I fell.

"Don't do this to me!" Said the king. However, the biggest dog still held him and his queen and threw them with the others. All the soldiers were afraid, and people shouted, "Little soldier, be our king!" " You married that beautiful princess! "

Then, everyone packed the soldiers into the king's carriage. Three dogs jumped up and down in front of him and shouted, "Long live!" The child whistled with his fingers; The soldiers salute. The princess walked out of her bronze palace and became a queen, feeling very satisfied. The wedding lasted eight days. Three dogs also sat on the table, their eyes widened.
