The old woman was sitting in an armchair by the fire, and looked at the stranger with her red eyes. "Good evening," growled she, and pretended to be quite friendly. "Take a seat and rest yourselves." She blew up the fire on which she was cooking something in a small pot. The daughter warned the two to be prudent, to eat nothing, and drink nothing, for the old woman brewed evil drinks. They slept quietly until early morning. When they were making ready for their departure, and the King's son was already seated on his horse, the old woman said, "Stop a moment, I will first hand you a parting draught." Whilst she fetched it, the King's son rode away, and the servant who had to buckle his saddle tight, was the only one present when the wicked witch came with the drink. "Take that to your master," said she. But at that instant the glass broke and the poison spirted on the horse, and it was so strong that the animal immediately fell down dead.

"晚上好，"她用嘶哑的声音说，并且竭力装出一副友好的样子，"坐下来歇歇脚吧。"她把炉火扇旺一些，炉子上还有一只小锅子在煮着什么东西。 姑娘警告两位客人千万要小心，什么也不要吃，什么也不要喝，因为老巫婆熬的是魔汤。 他们安安静静地一直睡到天亮，然后便准备动身上路，王子这时已经骑到了马背上了，老巫婆却说："等一等，我还想请你们喝杯饯行的酒呢。"趁她回去拿酒时，王子赶紧骑马走了。 所以当邪恶的老巫婆端着酒回来时，只有王子的仆人还在那里勒马鞍。 "把这杯酒带给你的主人，"她说，可就在这一刹那，杯子破了，毒酒溅在马身上，立刻把马毒死了。

There was once a King's son who was seized with a desire to travel about the world, and took no one with him but a faithful servant. One day he came to a great forest, and when darkness overtook him he could find no shelter, and knew not where to pass the night. Then he saw a girl who was going towards a small house, and when he came nearer, he saw that the maiden was young and beautiful. He spoke to her, and said, "Dear child, can I and my servant find shelter for the night in the little house?" - "Oh, yes," said the girl in a sad voice, "that you certainly can, but I do not advise you to venture it. Do not go in." - "Why not?" asked the King's son. The maiden sighed and said, "My step-mother practises wicked arts; she is ill-disposed toward strangers." Then he saw very well that he had come to the house of a witch, but as it was dark, and he could not go farther, and also was not afraid, he entered. 

从前有位王子，一时兴起去周游世界，身边只带了一个忠实的仆人。 一天，他来到了一片大森林，天黑时，没有找到住处，不知道该在哪里过夜。 这时，他看到一个姑娘向一间小屋走去，便跑上前，结果发现这位姑娘既美丽又年轻。 他和她打招呼，说："好姑娘，我和我的仆人可以在这小屋里过一夜吗？""唉，"姑娘哀伤地说，"可以是可以，但我劝你们最好还是别进去。""为什么？"王子问。 姑娘叹了口气说："我的继母会巫术，她对陌生人不怀好意。"王子这才明白自己来到了巫婆的家，可是天已经黑了，他无法再往前走，再加上他胆子很大，便进了屋。 

Then the prince looked at her foot, and saw how the blood was flowing from the shoe, and staining the white stocking. And he turned his horse round and brought the false bride home again. "This is not the right one," said he, "have you no other daughter?" - "No," said the man, "only my dead wife left behind her a little stunted Cinderella; it is impossible that she can be the bride." But the King's son ordered her to be sent for, but the mother said, "Oh no! she is much too dirty, I could not let her be seen." But he would have her fetched, and so Cinderella had to appear. First she washed her face and hands quite clean, and went in and curtseyed to the prince, who held out to her the golden shoe. Then she sat down on a stool, drew her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and slipped it into the golden one, which fitted it perfectly. And when she stood up, and the prince looked in her face, he knew again the beautiful maiden that had danced with him, and he cried, "This is the right bride!" The step-mother and the two sisters were thunderstruck, and grew pale with anger; but he put Cinderella before him on his horse and rode off. And as they passed the hazel bush, the two white pigeons cried,

王子低头一看，发现血正从舞鞋里流出来，连她的白色长袜也浸红了，他拨转马头，同样把她送了回去，对她的父亲说："这不是真新娘，你还有女儿吗？"父亲回答说："没有了，只有我前妻生的一个叫灰姑娘的小邋遢女儿，她不可能是新娘的。"然而，王子一定要他把她带来试一试。 灰姑娘先把脸和手洗干净，然后走进来很有教养地向王子屈膝行礼。 王子把舞鞋拿给她穿，鞋子穿在她脚上就像是专门为她做的一样。 他走上前仔细看清楚她的脸后，认出了她，马上兴奋的说道："这才是我真正的新娘。"继母和她的两个姐妹大吃一惊，当王子把灰姑娘扶上马时，她们气得脸都发白了，眼睁睁地看着王子把她带走了。 他们来到榛树边时，小白鸽唱道：

Chapter 

12

"There they go, there they go!
No blood on her shoe;
The shoe's not too small,
The right bride is she after all."

And when they had thus cried, they came flying after and perched on Cinderella's shoulders, one on the right, the other on the left, and so remained.

And when her wedding with the prince was appointed to be held the false sisters came, hoping to curry favour, and to take part in the festivities. So as the bridal procession went to the church, the eldest walked on the right side and the younger on the left, and the pigeons picked out an eye of each of them. And as they returned the elder was on the left side and the younger on the right, and the pigeons picked out the other eye of each of them. And so they were condemned to go blind for the rest of their days because of their wickedness and falsehood.

"回家吧！回家吧！
快看那只鞋！
王妃！ 这是为你做的鞋！
王子！ 王子！
快带新娘回家去，
坐在你身边的才是真正的新娘"
鸽子唱完之后，飞上前来，一只停在了她的左肩，一只停在了她的右肩。

当她和王子的婚礼举办时，他们指定让假冒的姐姐也过来参加典礼并助兴。当这一对新人走向教堂时，他们中大的那位走在右边，小的那位走在左边，而鸽子把他们各自的一只眼啄去。当他们返程时，大的那位走在左边，而小的那位走在右边，鸽子又再把她们各自的另一只眼啄去。因为他们的邪恶和坏心肠，她们的余生都将在失明中度过了。

Then the prince looked at her foot, and saw how the blood was flowing from the shoe, and staining the white stocking. And he turned his horse round and brought the false bride home again. "This is not the right one," said he, "have you no other daughter?" - "No," said the man, "only my dead wife left behind her a little stunted Cinderella; it is impossible that she can be the bride." But the King's son ordered her to be sent for, but the mother said, "Oh no! she is much too dirty, I could not let her be seen." But he would have her fetched, and so Cinderella had to appear. First she washed her face and hands quite clean, and went in and curtseyed to the prince, who held out to her the golden shoe. Then she sat down on a stool, drew her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and slipped it into the golden one, which fitted it perfectly. And when she stood up, and the prince looked in her face, he knew again the beautiful maiden that had danced with him, and he cried, "This is the right bride!" The step-mother and the two sisters were thunderstruck, and grew pale with anger; but he put Cinderella before him on his horse and rode off. And as they passed the hazel bush, the two white pigeons cried,

王子低头一看，发现血正从舞鞋里流出来，连她的白色长袜也浸红了，他拨转马头，同样把她送了回去，对她的父亲说："这不是真新娘，你还有女儿吗？"父亲回答说："没有了，只有我前妻生的一个叫灰姑娘的小邋遢女儿，她不可能是新娘的。"然而，王子一定要他把她带来试一试。 灰姑娘先把脸和手洗干净，然后走进来很有教养地向王子屈膝行礼。 王子把舞鞋拿给她穿，鞋子穿在她脚上就像是专门为她做的一样。 他走上前仔细看清楚她的脸后，认出了她，马上兴奋的说道："这才是我真正的新娘。"继母和她的两个姐妹大吃一惊，当王子把灰姑娘扶上马时，她们气得脸都发白了，眼睁睁地看着王子把她带走了。 他们来到榛树边时，小白鸽唱道：

我自己是有结论的，但开箱边开着，结论没了

"There they go, there they go!
There is blood on her shoe;
The shoe is too small,
Not the right bride at all!"

Then the prince looked at her shoe, and saw the blood flowing. And he turned his horse round and took the false bride home again, saying she was not the right one, and that the other sister must try on the shoe. So she went into her room to do so, and got her toes comfortably in, but her heel was too large. Then her mother handed her the knife, saying, "Cut a piece off your heel; when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut a piece off her heel, and thrust her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince, who took his bride before him on his horse and rode off. When they passed by the hazel bush the two pigeons sat there and cried,

"There they go, there they go!
There is blood on her shoe;
The shoe is too small,
Not the right bride at all!"

"再回去！再回去！
快看那只鞋！
鞋太小，不是为她做的！
王子！ 王子！
再找你的新娘吧，
坐在你身边的不是你的新娘！ "
王子听见后，下马盯着她的脚看，发现鲜血正从鞋子里流出来，他知道自己被欺骗了，马上掉转马头，把假新娘带回她的家里说道："这不是真新娘，让另一个妹妹来试试这只鞋子吧。"于是妹妹试着把鞋穿在脚上，脚前面进去了，可脚后跟太大了，就是穿不进去。 她妈妈让她削去脚后跟穿进去，然后拉着她来到王子面前。 王子看她穿好了鞋子，就把她当做新娘扶上马，并肩坐在一起离去了。
但当他们经过榛树时，小鸽子仍栖息在树枝头上，它唱道：
"再回去！再回去！
快看那只鞋！
鞋太小，不是为她做的！
王子！ 王子！
再找你的新娘吧，
坐在你身边的不是你的新娘！ "

On the third day, when the parents and the step-children had set off, Cinderella went again to her mother's grave, and said to the tree,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird cast down a dress, the like of which had never been seen for splendour and brilliancy, and slippers that were of gold. And when she appeared in this dress at the feast nobody knew what to say for wonderment. The prince danced with her alone, and if any one else asked her he answered, "She is my partner."

And when it was evening Cinderella wanted to go home, and the prince was about to go with her, when she ran past him so quickly that he could not follow her. But he had laid a plan, and had caused all the steps to be spread with pitch, so that as she rushed down them the left shoe of the maiden remained sticking in it. The prince picked it up, and saw that it was of gold, and very small and slender. The next morning he went to the father and told him that none should be his bride save the one whose foot the golden shoe should fit. Then the two sisters were very glad, because they had pretty feet. The eldest went to her room to try on the shoe, and her mother stood by. But she could not get her great toe into it, for the shoe was too small; then her mother handed her a knife, and said, "Cut the toe off, for when you are queen you will never have to go on foot." So the girl cut her toe off, squeezed her foot into the shoe, concealed the pain, and went down to the prince. Then he took her with him on his horse as his bride, and rode off. They had to pass by the grave, and there sat the two pigeons on the hazel bush, and cried,

第三天，当她父亲、继母和两个姐妹走了以后，她又来到花园里说道：
"榛树啊！请你帮帮我，
请你摇一摇，
为我抖落金银礼服一整套。 "
她善良的朋友又带来了一套比第二天那套更加漂亮的礼服和一双纯金编制的舞鞋。 当她赶到舞会现场时，大家都被她那无法用语言表达的美给惊呆了。 王子只与她一个人跳舞，每当有其他人请她跳舞时，他总是说："这位女士是我的舞伴。"当午夜快要来临时，她要回家了，王子又要送她回去，并暗暗说道："这次我可不能让她跑掉了。"然而，灰姑娘还是设法从他身边溜走了。 由于走得过于匆忙，她竟把左脚的金舞鞋失落在楼梯上了。
王子将舞鞋拾起，第二天来到他的国王父亲面前说："我要娶正好能穿上这只金舞鞋的姑娘作我的妻子。"灰姑娘的两个姐妹听到这个消息后非常高兴，因为她们都有一双很漂亮的脚，她们认为自己穿上那只舞鞋是毫无疑问的。 姐姐由她妈妈陪着先到房子里去试穿那只舞鞋，可她的大脚趾却穿不进去，那只鞋对她来说太小了。 于是她妈妈拿给她一把刀说："没关系，把大脚趾切掉！只要你当上了王后，还在乎这脚趾头干嘛，你想到哪儿去根本就不需要用脚了。"大女儿听了，觉得有道理，这傻姑娘忍着痛苦切掉了自己的大脚趾，勉强穿在脚上来到王子面。 王子看她穿好了鞋子，就把她当成了新娘，与她并排骑在马上，把她带走了。
但在他们出门回王宫的路上，经过后花园灰姑娘栽的那棵榛树时，停在树枝上的一只小鸽子唱道：

Then the bird cast down a still more splendid dress than on the day before. And when she appeared in it among the guests every one was astonished at her beauty. The prince had been waiting until she came, and he took her hand and danced with her alone. And when any one else came to invite her he said, "She is my partner." And when the evening came she wanted to go home, and the prince followed her, for he wanted to see to what house she belonged; but she broke away from him, and ran into the garden at the back of the house. There stood a fine large tree, bearing splendid pears; she leapt as lightly as a squirrel among the branches, and the prince did not know what had become of her. So he waited until the father came, and then he told him that the strange maiden had rushed from him, and that he thought she had gone up into the pear-tree. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for an axe, and felled the tree, but there was no one in it. And when they went into the kitchen there sat Cinderella among the cinders, as usual, for she had got down the other side of the tree, and had taken back her beautiful clothes to the bird on the hazel bush, and had put on her old grey kirtle again.

那只小鸟来了，它带来了一套比她前一天穿的那套更加漂亮的礼服。 当她来到舞会大厅时，她的美丽使所有的人惊讶不已。 一直在等待她到来的王子立即上前挽着她的手，请她跳起舞来。 每当有人要请她跳舞时，他总是和前一天一样说："这位女士在与我跳舞。"到了半夜她要回家去的时候，王子也和前一天一样跟着她，以为这样可以看到她进了哪一幢房子。 但她还是甩掉了他，并立即跳进了她父亲房子后面的花园里。 花园里有一棵很漂亮的大梨树，树上结满了成熟的梨。 灰姑娘不知道自己该藏在什么地方，只好爬到了树上。 王子没有看到她，他不知道她去了哪儿，只好又一直等到她父亲回来，才走上前对他说："那个与我跳舞的不知姓名的姑娘溜走了，我认为她肯定是跳上梨树去了。"父亲暗想："难道是灰姑娘吗？"于是，他要人去拿来一柄斧子，把树砍倒了一看，树上根本没有人。 当父亲和继母到厨房来看时，灰姑娘和平时一样正躺在灰烬里。 原来她跳上梨树后，又从树的另一边溜下来，脱下漂亮的礼服，让榛树上的小鸟带了回去，然后又穿上了她自己的灰色小外套。

And as there was no one left in the house, Cinderella went to her mother's grave, under the hazel bush, and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird threw down a dress of gold and silver, and a pair of slippers embroidered with silk and silver. , And in all haste she put on the dress and went to the festival. But her step-mother and sisters did not know her, and thought she must be a foreign princess, she looked so beautiful in her golden dress. Of Cinderella they never thought  at all, and supposed that she was sitting at home, arid picking the lentils out of the ashes. The King's son came to meet her, and took her by the hand and danced with her, and he refused to stand up with any one else, so that he might not be obliged to let go her hand; and when any one came to claim it he answered, "She is my partner."

现在，家里的人都走了，只留下灰姑娘孤伶伶地一个人悲伤地坐在榛树下哭泣：
"榛树啊！请你帮帮我，
请你摇一摇，
为我抖落金银礼服一整套。 "
她的朋友小鸟从树上飞出来，为她带了一套金银制成的礼服和一双光亮的丝制舞鞋。 收拾打扮、穿上礼服之后，灰姑娘在她两个姐妹之后来到了舞厅。 穿上豪华的礼服之后，她看起来是如此高雅、漂亮、美丽动人极了。 她们都认不出她，以为她一定是一位陌生的公主，根本就没有想到她就是灰姑娘，她们以为灰姑娘仍老老实实地待在家中的灰堆里呢。
王子看到她，很快向她走来，伸出手挽着她，请她跳起舞来。 他再也不和其他姑娘跳舞了，他的手始终不肯放开她。 每当有人来请她跳舞时，王子总是说："这位女士在与我跳舞。"

And when the evening came she wanted to go home, but the prince said he would go with her to take care of her, for he wanted to see where the beautiful maiden lived. But she escaped him, and jumped up into the pigeon-house. Then the prince waited until the father came, and told him the strange maiden had jumped into the pigeon-house. The father thought to himself, "It cannot surely be Cinderella," and called for axes and hatchets, and had the pigeon-house cut down, but there was no one in it. And when they entered the house there sat Cinderella in her dirty clothes among the cinders, and a little oil-lamp burnt dimly in the chimney; for Cinderella had been very quick, and had jumped out of the pigeon-house again, and had run to the hazel bush; and there she had taken off her beautiful dress and had laid it on the grave, and the bird had carried it away again, and then she had put on her little gray kirtle again, and had sat down inc the kitchen among the cinders.

The next day, when the festival began anew, and the parents and step-sisters had gone to it, Cinderella went to the hazel bush and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

他们一起跳到很晚，她才想起要回家去了。 王子想知道这位美丽的姑娘到底住在哪里，所以说道："我送你回家去吧。"灰姑娘表面上同意了，但却趁他不注意时，悄悄地溜走，拔腿向家里跑去。 王子在后面紧追不舍，她只好跳进鸽子房并把门关上。 王子等在外面不肯离去，一直到她父亲回家时，王子才上前告诉他，说那位他在舞会上遇到的不知道姓名的姑娘藏进了这间鸽子房。 当他们砸开鸽子房门时，里面却已空无一人，他只好失望地回宫去了。 父母进屋子时，灰姑娘已经身穿邋遢的衣服躺在灰堆边上了，就像她一直躺在那儿似地，昏暗的小油灯在烟囱柱上的墙洞里摇晃着。 实际上，灰姑娘刚才很快穿过鸽子房来到榛树前脱下了漂亮的礼服，将它们放回树上，让小鸟把它们带走，自己则回到屋里坐到了灰堆上，穿上了她那灰色的外套。
第二天，当舞会又要开始时，她的爸爸、继母和两个姐妹都去了。 灰姑娘来到树下说：
"榛树啊！请你帮帮我，
请你摇一摇，
为我抖落金银礼服一整套。 "

And as there was no one left in the house, Cinderella went to her mother's grave, under the hazel bush, and cried,

"Little tree, little tree, shake over me,
That silver and gold may come down and cover me."

Then the bird threw down a dress of gold and silver, and a pair of slippers embroidered with silk and silver. , And in all haste she put on the dress and went to the festival. But her step-mother and sisters did not know her, and thought she must be a foreign princess, she looked so beautiful in her golden dress. Of Cinderella they never thought  at all, and supposed that she was sitting at home, arid picking the lentils out of the ashes. The King's son came to meet her, and took her by the hand and danced with her, and he refused to stand up with any one else, so that he might not be obliged to let go her hand; and when any one came to claim it he answered, "She is my partner."

现在，家里的人都走了，只留下灰姑娘孤伶伶地一个人悲伤地坐在榛树下哭泣：
"榛树啊！请你帮帮我，
请你摇一摇，
为我抖落金银礼服一整套。 "
她的朋友小鸟从树上飞出来，为她带了一套金银制成的礼服和一双光亮的丝制舞鞋。 收拾打扮、穿上礼服之后，灰姑娘在她两个姐妹之后来到了舞厅。 穿上豪华的礼服之后，她看起来是如此高雅、漂亮、美丽动人极了。 她们都认不出她，以为她一定是一位陌生的公主，根本就没有想到她就是灰姑娘，她们以为灰姑娘仍老老实实地待在家中的灰堆里呢。
