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。"
