Three fairy tales of the Arabian Nights

# Fairy Tale # Introduction Arabian Nights is a collection of Arabic folk stories. Scheherazade, the daughter of the Prime Minister, volunteered to marry the king to save the innocent woman, and attracted the king by telling stories. Every night, when it was just dawn, the king couldn't bear to kill her, allowing her to continue to talk the next night. Her story has been told for 11 nights, and the king was finally moved to grow old with her. Prince Crow

Once upon a time, there were three princesses, all young and beautiful. Although the youngest princess is not as beautiful as the two sisters, she is the most pleasing of the three sisters.

About half a mile away from the palace where the princesses lived, there was a castle, which was uninhabited, like a ruin, but it was surrounded by flowers, which turned into a beautiful garden. The little princess often came here for a walk.

One day, she was walking back and forth in the lime tree when a black crow ran up to her from the rose bushes in front. The poor little thing was hurt and bleeding. The kind little princess was very sad to see it so pitiful. The crow said to the princess, "actually, I am not a crow, but a handsome prince." Princess, if you like me, you can save me, but you must say goodbye to your relatives and stay with me in this dilapidated castle. There is a room to live in, and there is a golden bed in it. You should take care of yourself in your life there. Remember not to shout out whatever you see or hear at night. As long as you scream, my pain will be doubled. "

The kind princess soon left her family and lived in a dilapidated castle.

at night, she lies in a golden bed, and she can't sleep anyway. It was late at night, and she seemed to hear someone coming towards the corridor. Soon the door opened and a group of strange monsters came into the room. They lit the fire in the fireplace and then put a big pot of boiling water on it. After doing this, they approached the bed where the princess slept, screamed at her and dragged her to the boiler. She was almost scared to death, but she remembered what the prince had said without making a sound. Suddenly, the rooster crowed and all the evil souls disappeared.

At this moment, the crow appeared, flying around the room happily, thanking the princess for her bravery and kindness.

The little princess's sister was very curious about this, so she went to the shabby castle to visit her sister. She urged the little princess to sleep in the golden bed for one night, and the kind little princess agreed. In the middle of the night, those monsters came again, and my sister screamed with fear.

Since then, the little princess has insisted on spending the night alone. She is alone during the day and frightened by monsters at night. If she is not brave enough, she will be scared to death. Crows come to thank her every day.

So two years passed, and one day the crow came to tell the princess, "In another year, my spell will be broken, and then my seven-year period will end. But you must be a maid before I can regain my human form and accept my father's property. "

The little princess agreed. She worked as a maid for a whole year. Although she is young and beautiful, she has been abused and suffered a lot. One night, she was spinning, and her white hands were sour and painful. Suddenly she heard a rustling sound behind her, which was mixed with cries of ecstasy. Then she saw a handsome young man standing beside her, kneeling at her feet and kissing her.

"I am the prince," he said. "I was turned into a black crow and suffered all kinds of cruel torture. You saved me with your kindness and courage. Come with me to my castle, and we will live happily there."

They went back to the castle that had made them suffer. The castle had been rearranged, and it was completely different. The prince and princess lived a happy life there.

Ahsok's red skirt

Ahsok is a little girl with big eyes who combs braided hair. She has a pair of dexterous hands, and every afternoon after school, she will use them to string hawthorn fruit.

A Suo has a big bamboo basket with many red hawthorn fruits in it. String the fruit on a thin bamboo stick and dip it in syrup, and you can make many sweet and sour candied haws.

But, why do you make so many candied haws? Oh, it turns out that Ahso's mother sells candied haws. My mother sells candied haws at street stalls every day. Those candied haws were strung in advance by Ahso the night before.

But on this day, Ahso couldn't concentrate when he was wearing sugar-coated haws. A string of candied haws and five hawthorn fruits, but she sometimes strung four and sometimes strung six, and her mind was full of Lili's beautiful skirt.

Lili is Ahso's deskmate. Tomorrow, on Children's Day, the teacher arranged for Ahso and Lili to perform dance and rehearsed it many times. Ahso and Lili are already familiar with dance. But today, Lili wore a beautiful white skirt to rehearse the dance. She said that it was specially bought by her mother for her performance.

But Ahso doesn't have a beautiful skirt. She only has a gray cotton skirt, which is very old. If she wears it to the performance, maybe the students will laugh at herself. Ahso wants to ask her mother for a skirt, but she knows that her mother has to sell many strings of candied haws to buy a beautiful skirt.

do you want a skirt from your mother or not? Ahso repeatedly asked himself.

let's do it! Just count the number of hawthorn fruits in the bamboo basket. If it is odd, ask your mother for a skirt. If it is even, wear your own gray skirt to perform the program.

One, two, three, four ... Ahso counted, and finally counted the number of fruits-exactly 199, which is odd! Then, when mom comes back, let her buy herself a skirt. But, but ... Mom makes candied haws every day, and her hands are getting rougher and rougher. Maybe she needs a pair of gloves more. Also, my mother's lunch at noon every day is a steamed bun. If she doesn't buy a skirt, maybe she can buy some steamed buns to satisfy her appetite ...

Ahso hesitated and finally decided to wear her own gray skirt to the performance.

So she folded the gray skirt neatly, put it on the bed, and lay down to sleep.

that night, Ahso had a dream. She dreamed that she was dancing in a beautiful red skirt. The skirt was bright red, which was the color of hawthorn fruit.

When Ahso woke up the next morning, she really found a beautiful red skirt, exactly like the one she wore in her dream, except that there were five buttons in the shape of hawthorn fruit. She couldn't help jumping up. While pulling a red skirt in front of the mirror, Ahso saw his mother standing behind him with bloodshot eyes.

Ahso put on a beautiful red skirt and went to school. When it was her turn to perform a program, she danced in that beautiful red skirt. When spinning, the whole skirt looked like a blooming red peony. The students clapped their hands for Ahso, because Ahso in the red skirt dances really well!

after school, aso went home and continued to string hawthorn fruit. But this time, she won't apply for the wrong number again. Each string is five. How did she remember it so accurately this time? Because Ahso knows that under the light of the lamp last night, my mother carefully nailed five buttons in the shape of hawthorn fruit on her sewn red skirt. Frankly speaking

Maarouf saw that the princess sincerely persuaded him and sincerely offered to help him. To save him, his worries were dispelled. He confided his true feelings to his wife and told her everything about himself. Maarouf frankly told the princess that he was not a businessman, but a poor shoemaker who lived like a shoemaker on the Egyptian street, with no money at all, and his family was poor. He doesn't have any camel team at all, not even a piece of cloth, a gold coin and a pearl. He has been married, and his wife Fatima is a wicked woman, lazy and mean, even worse than a dog to him. Then he explained why he ran away from home, how he lived on the streets and how he got here. After meeting Ali, Ali told the princess everything in detail. Marouf's honesty made the princess very happy. After hearing Marouf's words, she not only did not hide anything. You are a liar, a clever liar! "

Maarouf spoke his mind and felt relieved. He pleaded with the princess:

"Dear wife, I told you everything because I fully trusted you. Now only you can save me!"

the princess said, "you are a man, but you have a good life. Why do you cheat?" It's really wrong of you to do so! You know, since you arrived here, you've been bragging about how rich you are all day, boasting that you have a huge camel team and countless wealth. My father is a greedy man who is greedy for money and forgets righteousness. He heard that you are a millionaire, so he betrothed me to you, but he never imagined that he was cheated instead, and his treasury has been squandered by you. That prime minister is a *. Therefore, he repeatedly warned my father to be wary of you, saying that you are not a big businessman, but a shrewd liar. My father didn't believe what he said at first, thinking that the Prime Minister had ulterior motives and was deliberately trying to sow discord. The reason was that the Prime Minister had long planned to get married with me, but I didn't like him and didn't want to be his wife. I had already seen through his ambition. I had bad intentions! It's been a long time since we got married, but your camel team didn't arrive, and many people began to doubt it, especially the Prime Minister. He advised my father and arranged for me to try to find out the truth about you, and the result was not what the Prime Minister expected. In this way, my father will become angry from embarrassment, and if he doesn't kill you, how can he solve the hatred in his heart? How to quell the resentment and anger of Manchu civil and military officials? But we are married, and as your wife, I really don't want our husband and wife to be separated halfway, making courtiers and nationals laugh. In this way, I have to save you. In fact, I am doing this for my own sake. If I tell my father that he killed you now, and the whole country knows that I married you as a big liar, how can I live in the world again? It's better to die than to live in such a disgrace. "The princess sized up the situation and fully analyzed the present situation. She thought twice about the prospect, and finally decided to help Maarouf escape. She said to him," I think you'd better get away from here as soon as possible. " I have 5, gold coins of private money here. Take it with you, put on palace clothes, ride a fast horse, and run as far as possible, until you run to a place not under the jurisdiction of your father. You can use this money to do business there. When you are settled, write to me and tell me where you live. As long as I have some money in my hand, I will try to help you. If you do business honestly, you can form a certain scale. Under the present circumstances, we have to adopt this method. We are not afraid of not burning firewood. As long as you and I save our lives, there will be a bright future. The situation is extremely urgent, and time is urgent. You should prepare to escape as soon as possible. They will come to arrest you at dawn, and you will fall into their hands. Even if I have superhuman powers, there is nothing I can do. "

" Dear wife, in that case. Maarouf thanked the princess again and again, quickly put on his palace clothes, rode on a fine horse, kissed the princess goodbye affectionately, and set off on the road to escape. On the way out of the city, the officers and men on night patrol thought that he was a prince and a general on business, so they let him go all the way. He successfully broke through the dangerous barrier and fled outside the city overnight.

After dawn, the prime minister couldn't wait to see the king, and came to the harem with the king, inviting the princess out to meet him.

The princess showed an angry look and said, "Father, after my investigation, it turns out that what the Prime Minister said is nonsense. Obviously, he is trying to sow discord between us and my husband!"

The king asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on?"

The princess said calmly, "As soon as my husband came back last night, I wanted to have a good talk with him. But when we were about to talk, the eunuch rushed in. He had a letter in his hand, saying that there were ten slaves outside the palace gate and asked him to pass it on to me. He also asked him to kiss the hands of Marouf and me. They were Marouf's servants and specially escorted the camel team to deliver goods and send money. Because" That's why I came here to report the situation to him. I saw that all of them were in tears and crying. I was very surprised. I took the letter and read it. It turned out that it was written by 5 servants jointly. I saw the letter saying:

"'Slaves kowtow and worship again, and I would like to write to Lord Maarouf:

Shortly after the adults started on the road before the slaves, we met a large group of robbers on the way. They were outnumbered. We are in a strange place, so we have to retreat. The robbers are chasing us, and all the 5 people are fighting hard for the adults, but the robbers are very fierce and cruel, and their number is twice as large as ours. We will defend the camel team to the death. We have fought hard for 3 days, sacrificed 5 people and lost 2 camels. The adults must have been deeply anxious about our delay in arriving, so we sent a messenger first, hoping that the adults would forgive us. How can they fight with gangsters for 2 camel goods? What does 2 camel goods mean to me? Isn't it seven thousand gold coins at best? They should have given up the small for the big, and come as soon as possible! It seems that I can't do it if I don't go out in person to urge them. So he went to the scene of the accident overnight. When he left me, he looked very relaxed, because the loss of 2 camel goods was only nine Niu Yi Mao compared with the whole camel team, and the right of the 2 camel goods was a charity for the robbers. At that time, I looked through the window and saw his ten servants, all of whom were beautiful. They were very brave and dressed. It's not what my father's guards can compare. This is the reason and situation that Maarouf and his ten servants went to meet his camel team. Thanks to Allah, fortunately, I didn't have time to tell him what my father told me. Otherwise, he would be very unhappy and he would laugh at us. Maybe he would hate me, discriminate against me and even leave me! What makes people angry is the prime minister. Why is he so black? So vicious? He talked nonsense. He almost ruined my future by making a rumor about my husband! "

The princess improvises. The king is convinced by her fabrications! He said:

"Son, you are so lucky that you have a husband with a rich spirit. Only those who are really rich will not consider those humble losses. Come to think of it, since he came to us, he has helped the poor every day, and many people have been helped. He is so generous to everyone. Doesn't his words and manners show that he is a really rich man? May Allah bless and let his camel team arrive as soon as possible, then our national treasury will not be able to hold it.
