So there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and then some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the other birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes, and the doves nodded with their heads and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. And before half-an-hour was over it was all done, and they flew away. Then the maiden took the dishes to the stepmother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go with them to the feast; but she said "All this is of no good to you; you cannot come with us, for you have no proper clothes, and cannot dance; you would put us to shame." Then she turned her back on poor Cinderella, and made haste to set out with her two proud daughters.

先飞来的是从厨房窗子进来的两只白鸽，跟着飞来的是两只斑鸠，接着天空中所有的小鸟都叽叽喳喳地拍动着翅膀，飞到了灰堆上。 小白鸽低下头开始在灰堆里拣起来，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！ 其它的鸟儿也开始拣，一颗一颗地拣，不停地拣！ 它们把所有的好豆子都从灰里拣出来放到了盘子里面，这次只用半个小时就拣完了。 鸟雀们飞去之后，灰姑娘端着盘子去找继母，怀着极其兴奋的心情，以为自己可以去参加舞会了。 但继母却说道："算了！你别再白费劲了，你是不能去的。你没有礼服，不会跳舞，你只会给我们丢脸。"说完他们夫妻与她自己的两个女儿出发参加宴会去了。

Now if came to pass that the king ordained a festival that should last for three days, and to which all the beautiful young women of that country were bidden, so that the king's son might choose a bride from among them. When the two stepdaughters heard that they too were bidden to appear, they felt very pleased, and they called Cinderella, and said, "Comb our hair, brush our shoes, and make our buckles fast, we are going to the wedding feast at the king's castle." Cinderella, when she heard this, could not help crying, for she too would have liked to go to the dance, and she begged her step-mother to allow her. "What, you Cinderella!" said she, "in all your dust and dirt, you want to go to the festival! you that have no dress and no shoes! you want to dance!" But as she persisted in asking, at last the step-mother said, "I have strewed a dish-full of lentils in the ashes, and if you can pick them all up again in two hours you may go with us." Then the maiden went to the backdoor that led into the garden, and called out, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish,
The bad you may eat if you wish."

国王为了给自己的儿子选择未婚妻，准备举办一个为期三天的盛大宴会，邀请了不少年青漂亮的姑娘来参加。 王子打算从这些参加舞会的姑娘中选一个作自己的新娘。 灰姑娘的两个姐姐也被邀请去参加。 她们把她叫来说道："现在来为我们梳好头发，擦亮鞋子，系好腰带，我们要去参加国王举办的舞会。"她按她们的要求给她们收拾打扮完毕后，禁不住哭了起来，因为她自己也想去参加舞会。 她苦苦哀求她的继母让她去，可继母说道："哎哟！灰姑娘，你也想去？你穿什么去呀！你连礼服也没有，甚至连舞也不会跳，你想去参加什么舞会啊？"灰姑娘不停地哀求着，为了摆脱她的纠缠，继母最后说道："我把这一满盆碗豆倒进灰堆里去，如果你在两小时内把它们都拣出来了，你就可以去参加宴会。"说完，她将一盆碗豆倒进灰烬里，扬长而去。 灰姑娘没办法，只好跑出后门来到花园里喊道：
"掠过天空的鸽子和斑鸠，
飞来吧！ 飞到这里来吧！
快乐的鸟雀朋友们，
飞来吧！ 快快飞到这里来吧！
大伙快来帮我忙，
快快拣出灰中的碗豆来吧！ "

Then there came to the kitchen-window two white doves, and after them some turtle-doves, and at last a crowd of all the birds under heaven, chirping and fluttering, and they alighted among the ashes; and the doves nodded with their heads, and began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and then all the others began to pick, peck, pick, peck, and put all the good grains into the dish. Before an hour was over all was done, and they flew away. Then the maiden brought the dish to her step-mother, feeling joyful, and thinking that now she should go to the feast; but the step-mother said, "No, Cinderella, you have no proper clothes, and you do not know how to dance, and you would be laughed at!" And when Cinderella cried for disappointment, she added, "If you can pick two dishes full of lentils out of the ashes, nice and clean, you shall go with us," thinking to herself, "for that is not possible." When she had strewed two dishes full of lentils among the ashes the maiden went through the backdoor into the garden, and cried, "O gentle doves, O turtle-doves, And all the birds that be, The lentils that in ashes lie Come and pick up for me!

The good must be put in the dish,

"掠过天空的鸽子和斑鸠，
飞来吧！ 飞到这里来吧！
快乐的鸟雀朋友们，
飞来吧！ 快快飞到这里来吧！
大伙快来帮我忙，

It happened one day that the father went to the fair, and he asked his two step-daughters what he should bring back for them. "Fine clothes!" said one. "Pearls and jewels!" said the other. "But what will you have, Cinderella?" said he. "The first twig, father, that strikes against your hat on the way home; that is what I should like you to bring me." So he bought for the two step-daughters fine clothes, pearls, and jewels, and on his way back, as he rode through a green lane, a hazel-twig struck against his hat; and he broke it off and carried it home with him. And when he reached home he gave to the step-daughters what they had wished for, and to Cinderella he gave the hazel-twig. She thanked him, and went to her mother's grave, and planted this twig there, weeping so bitterly that the tears fell upon it and watered it, and it flourished and became a fine tree. Cinderella went to see it three times a day, and wept and prayed, and each time a white bird rose up from the tree, and if she uttered any wish the bird brought her whatever she had wished for.

有一次，父亲要到集市去，他问妻子的两个女儿，要他给她们带什么回来。 第一个说："我要漂亮的衣裳。"第二个叫道："我要珍珠和钻石。"他又对自己的女儿说："孩子，你想要什么？"灰姑娘说："亲爱的爸爸 ，就把你回家路上碰着你帽子的第一根树枝折给我吧。 "父亲回来时，他为前两个女儿带回了她们想要的漂亮衣服和珍珠钻石。在路上，他穿过一片浓密的矮树林时，有一根榛树枝条碰着了他，几乎把他的帽子都要扫下来了，所以他把这根树枝折下来带上了。回到家里时，他把树枝给了他女儿，她拿着树枝来到母亲的坟前，将它栽到了坟边。她每天都要到坟边哭三次，每次伤心地哭泣时，泪水就会不断地滴落在树枝上，浇灌着它，使树枝很快长成了一棵漂亮的大树。不久，有一只小鸟来树上筑巢，她与小鸟交谈起来。后来她想要什么，小鸟都会给她带来。

There was once a rich man whose wife lay sick, and when she felt her end drawing near she called to her only daughter to come near her bed, and said, "Dear child, be pious and good, and God will always take care of you, and I will look down upon you from heaven, and will be with you." And then she closed her eyes and expired. The maiden went every day to her mother's grave and wept, and was always pious and good. When the winter came the snow covered the grave with a white covering, and when the sun came in the early spring and melted it away, the man took to himself another wife.

The new wife brought two daughters home with her, and they were beautiful and fair in appearance, but at heart were, black and ugly. And then began very evil times for the poor step-daughter. "Is the stupid creature to sit in the same room with us?" said they; "those who eat food must earn it. Out upon her for a kitchen-maid!" They took away her pretty dresses, and put on her an old grey kirtle, and gave her wooden shoes to wear. "Just look now at the proud princess, how she is decked out!" cried they laughing, and then they sent her into the kitchen. There she was obliged to do heavy work from morning to night, get up early in the morning, draw water, make the fires, cook, and wash. Besides that, the sisters did their utmost to torment her, mocking her, and strewing peas and lentils among the ashes, and setting her to pick them up. In the evenings, when she was quite tired out with her hard day's work, she had no bed to lie on, but was obliged to rest on the hearth among the cinders. And as she always looked dusty and dirty, they named her Cinderella.

从前，有一个富人的妻子得了重病，在临终前，她把自己的独生女儿叫到身边说："乖女儿，妈去了以后会在九泉之下守护你、保佑你的。"说完她就闭上眼睛死了。
她被葬在了花园里，小姑娘是一个虔诚而又善良的女孩，她每天都到她母亲的坟前去哭泣。冬天来了，大雪为她母亲的坟盖上了白色的毛毯。 春风吹来，太阳又卸去了坟上的银装素裹。 冬去春来，人过境迁，他爸爸又娶了另外一个妻子。
新妻子带着她以前生的两个女儿一起来安家了。 她们外表很美丽，但是内心却非常丑陋邪恶。 她们到来之时，也就是这个可怜的小姑娘身受苦难之始。 她们说："要这样一个没用的饭桶在厅堂里干什么？谁想吃上面包，谁就得自己去挣得，滚到厨房里做厨房女佣去吧！"说完又脱去她漂亮的衣裳，给她换上灰色的旧外套，恶作剧似地嘲笑她，把她赶到厨房里去了。 她被迫去干艰苦的活儿。 每天天不亮就起来担水、生火、做饭、洗衣，而且还要忍受她们姐妹对她的漠视和折磨。 到了晚上，她累得筋疲力尽时，连睡觉的床铺也没有，不得不睡在炉灶旁边的灰烬中，这一来她身上都沾满了灰烬，又脏，又难看，由于这个原因她们就叫她灰姑娘。

The valiant little tailorC16

At night he lay down as usual in bed, and when his wife thought that he was asleep, she got up, opened the door and lay down again. The little tailor, who only made believe to be asleep, began to murmur plainly, "Now, boy, make me that waistcoat and patch me those breeches, or I will lay my yard measure about your shoulders! I have slain seven at one blow, killed two giants, caught a unicorn, and taken a wild boar, and shall I be afraid of those who are standing outside my room door?" And when they heard the tailor say this, a great fear seized them; they fled away as if they had been wild hares, and none of them would venture to attack him. And so the little tailor all his lifetime remained a king.

到了晚上，小裁缝像往常一样按时上床就寝，躺在妻子身边。 她以为他已经入睡，就从床上爬起来，打开了化妆室的门，然后又躺在床上。 小裁缝只是在装睡，这时便开始尖着嗓子喊叫起来："徒弟，把这件背心缝好，再把这条裤子补一补，不然我就让你的脑袋尝尝尺子的厉害。我一下子打死了七个，杀死了两个巨人，捉住了一头独角兽，还逮住了一头大野猪，难道我还怕化妆室里的哪一个不成？"听到了小裁缝的这一番话，打算把他捆绑起来的那几个人，个个吓得要死，拔腿就逃走啦。 从此，再没有谁敢碰他一根毫毛。 就这样，勇敢的小裁缝继续当他的国王，一直当到离开人世。

The valiant little tailorC15

One night the young queen heard her husband talking in his sleep and saying, "Now boy, make me that waistcoat and patch me those breeches, or I will lay my yard measure about your shoulders!" And so, as she perceived of what low birth her husband was, she went to her father the next morning and told him all, and begged him to set her free from a man who was nothing better than a tailor. The king bade her be comforted, saying, "To-night leave your bedroom door open, my guard shall stand outside, and when he is asleep they shall come in and bind him and carry him off to a ship, and he shall be sent to the other side of the world." So the wife felt consoled, but the king's water-bearer, who had been listening all the while, went to the little tailor and disclosed to him the whole plan. "I shall put a stop to all this," said he.

不久，年轻的王后在一天夜里听见丈夫说梦话。 小裁缝在梦中大声地嚷嚷着："徒弟，快点儿把这件背心缝好，再把这条裤子补一补，不然我就让你的脑袋尝尝尺子的厉害。"这样一来，她便弄清了她的君主和丈夫是什么出身。 第二天一早就对父亲大发牢骚，抱怨国王给她选择的丈夫只不过是一个下贱的裁缝。
国王安慰她说："今天晚上，你打开化妆室的门，我派侍从守在外边，等他睡着了，我的侍从就悄悄地进去把他捆起来，然后放到一艘船上，把他送到天涯海角。"
当了国王的小裁缝有个男仆，听见了老国王说的话，就把这个阴谋禀报了主子。

The valiant little tailorC14

When the boar caught sight of the tailor he ran at him with foaming mouth and gleaming tusks to bear him to the ground, but the nimble hero rushed into a chapel which chanced to be near, and jumped quickly out of a window on the other side. The boar ran after him, and when he got inside the door shut after him, and there he was imprisoned, for the creature was too big and unwieldy to jump out of the window too. Then the little tailor called the huntsmen that they might see the prisoner with their own eyes; and then he betook himself to the king, who now, whether he liked it or not, was obliged to fulfil his promise, and give him his daughter and the half of his kingdom. But if he had known that the great warrior was only a little tailor he would have taken it still more to heart. So the wedding was celebrated with great splendour and little joy, and the tailor was made into a king.

野猪一见小裁缝，就口里冒着白沫，咬着牙，朝他猛冲过来，想一头把他撞倒在地。 谁知勇敢的小裁缝敏捷地跳进了旁边的一座小教堂，眨眼之间，又从窗口跳了出去。 野猪追进了教堂，小裁缝从教堂后面几步跑了过来，把门关住，气势汹汹的野猪又重又笨，没法从窗口跳出去，就这样被擒住了。
然后，勇敢的小裁缝去见国王，告诉他说，愿意也罢，不愿意也罢，他这次必须信守诺言，把他的女儿和半个王国赏赐给他。
他们的婚礼隆重举行，欢笑却很少。 不过，小裁缝还是当上了国王啦。

The valiant little tailorC13

He had not far to seek, the unicorn soon came out and sprang at him, as if he would make an end of him without delay. "Softly, softly," said he, "most haste, worst speed," and remained standing until the animal came quite near, then he slipped quietly behind a tree. The unicorn ran with all his might against the tree and stuck his horn so deep into the trunk that he could not get it out again, and so was taken. "Now I have you," said the tailor, coming out from behind the tree, and, putting the rope round the unicorn's neck, he took the axe, set free the horn, and when all his party were assembled he led forth the animal and brought it to the King.

The King did not yet wish to give him the promised reward, and set him a third task to do. Before the wedding could take place the tailor was to secure a wild boar which had done a great deal of damage in the wood. The huntsmen were to accompany him. "All right," said the tailor, "this is child's play." But he did not take the huntsmen into the wood, and they were all the better pleased, for the wild boar had many a time before received them in such a way that they had no fancy to disturb him.

他没找多大功夫，便发现那头独角兽就在眼前，并且正向他直冲过来。
他纹丝不动地站在那里，等独角兽逼近了，敏捷地一下子跳到树后。 独角兽发疯似的朝大树撞过来，把角牢牢地戳进了树干里，怎么拔也拔不出来，就被捉住了。
"伙计，这回我可逮住你啦，"小裁缝从树后转出来后说道。 他用那根绳索把独角兽的脖子捆了起来，然后用斧头劈开树干，松开兽角，牵着独角兽回去见国王。
谁知国王还是不肯把答应给小裁缝的奖赏赐给他，又提出了第三个条件。 他必须再到森林里去把一头危害很大的野猪逮住，然后才举行婚礼。
"我很乐意去，"小裁缝回答说，"逮住一头野猪那还不是跟玩儿似的。"

The valiant little tailorC12

"Then are you not wounded?" asked the horsemen. "Nothing of the sort!" answered the tailor, "I have not turned a hair." The horsemen still would not believe it, and rode into the wood to see, and there they found the giants wallowing in their blood, and all about them lying the uprooted trees. The little tailor then claimed the promised boon, but the King repented him of his offer, and he sought again how to rid himself of the hero. "Before you can possess my daughter and the half of my kingdom," said he to the tailor, "you must perform another heroic act. In the wood lives a unicorn who does great damage; you must secure him."

"A unicorn does not strike more terror into me than two giants. Seven at one blow! - that is my way," was the tailor's answer. So, taking a rope and an axe with him, he went out into the wood, and told those who were ordered to attend him to wait outside.

骑士们策马跑进森林一看，两个巨人躺在血泊之中，四周还有连根拔出的大树，这才相信了小裁缝的话。
返回后，小裁缝要求国王把答应给他的奖赏赐给他，国王却后悔了，又左思右想，考虑怎样才能把小裁缝打发走。
"你在得到我的女儿和半个王国之前，"他说，"必须再完成一个壮举。在那座森林里，有一头危害很大的独角兽，你必须把它捕捉住。"
"两个巨人我都没怕，一头独角兽又有什么可怕的呀。"小裁缝吹嘘道。
小裁缝带着一根绳索和一把斧头便动身去了森林，告诉他的随从们在森林外等着。
