Grimm's Fairy Tales - Hans the Hedgehog

Once upon a time, there was a rich farmer who had enough money to carry his car and his fields were spread across farms. But there was one big shortcoming in his happy life, that is, he had no children. When he went to the city, he was often ridiculed by fellow farmers.

They asked him why he had no children. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and became very angry. When he returned home, he said angrily: "I have to have a child, even a hedgehog." So his wife gave birth to a strange child.

, the upper body is a hedgehog, and the lower body is a boy. His wife was frightened and complained to him: "Look at you, this is the bad luck you have brought." The farmer said helplessly: "The rice has turned into porridge, what should we do now?"

This child has to be baptized, but who can be his godfather?" The wife sighed: "What should we name him?

"Let's call him Hans the Hedgehog."

After being baptized, the priest said: "He is covered with thorns and cannot sleep on an ordinary bed." So some hay was spread behind the stove, and Hans the Hedgehog slept on it. His mother could not breastfeed him because of his thorns.

It would hurt his mother. He lay like this behind the stove for eight years. His father was tired of him and thought to himself: "It would be better for him to die!" But he lay there and lived very tenaciously. There was going to be a held in the city.

At the market, before the farmer went to the market, he asked his wife what he wanted to bring back. "We are short of some meat and some white bread at home," she said. Then he asked the maid, who wanted a pair of slippers and some pairs of embroidered stockings. Finally,

He also asked the hedgehog, "What do you want, my hedgehog Hans?" "Dear father," he said, "I want bagpipes." When the father returned home, he brought back the meat and white meat that his wife asked for.

Bread, slippers and embroidered stockings the maid asked for, then walked behind the stove and handed the bagpipe to Hans the Hedgehog. Hans the Hedgehog took the bagpipe and said: "Dear father, please go to the blacksmith's shop to nail the big rooster."

Palm, I'm going to ride the big rooster out and never come back." Hearing this, my father couldn't help but be secretly happy, thinking that now I could get rid of him. He immediately went to nail the rooster's paw, and then, the hedgehog

Hans rode on the rooster and set out on the road, taking a few pigs and donkeys with him, and he was going to feed them in the forest. They walked into the forest, and the big rooster took him up to a big tree. After that, he was in the tree.

He stayed on the mountain for many, many years, taking care of his donkeys and pigs until they were raised. His father didn't know anything about him. For all these years, he still blew his bagpipe in the tree and played very beautiful music.

Once, a lost king passed by nearby and heard the beautiful music. He was surprised and immediately sent his attendants to find out where the sound of the flute was coming from. He searched around and found only a high

There was a small animal on the tree, which looked like a hedgehog riding a rooster and playing music. So the king ordered his attendants to come up and ask him why he was sitting there and if he knew the way to his kingdom. Hans the Hedgehog came from the tree

He came down and told the king that he would show the way to the king if he would write a pledge saying that as soon as he got home, he would give him the first thing he encountered in the palace courtyard. The king thought to himself: "This is the right thing to do."

It's easy, Hans the Hedgehog can't read, and he doesn't know what I write anyway." So the king took the pen and ink and wrote a guarantee. After writing, Hans the Hedgehog showed him the way, and the king returned safely.

home. His daughter saw him from afar, and ran over to meet him overjoyed, and kissed him happily. Then he thought of Hans the Hedgehog, and told her what had happened, and how he had been forced to agree to bring him home.

The first thing he met after returning home was a very strange animal. It rode a big rooster like a horse and played beautiful music. However, he did not write according to its meaning. He wrote

It didn't deserve what it wanted. The princess was very happy after hearing this and praised her father for doing a good job, because she had never thought of living with a hedgehog.

Hans the Hedgehog took care of his donkey and pig as usual, and often sat happily in the tree playing his bagpipe.

One day, another king passed by with his entourage and envoys. They also lost their way. The forest was large and dense, and they lost their way home. He also heard music coming from a place not far away, and asked

The messenger asked him what it was and ordered him to go over and have a look. The messenger walked under the tree and saw a rooster on the top of the tree. Hans the Hedgehog was riding on the back of the rooster. The messenger asked him what he was doing up there, "I am letting my donkey and

My pig, what do you want to do?" The messenger said that they were lost and could not return to their kingdom, and asked him if he could show them the way. Hans the Hedgehog and the rooster came down from the tree and said to the old king if the king was willing

Give him the first thing he met in front of the palace, and he will tell him the way. The king replied simply: "Okay," and wrote a letter of guarantee and gave it to Hans the Hedgehog. Then Hans rode

The big rooster walked in front and pointed out the way to them, and the king returned to his kingdom safely. When he arrived in the courtyard in front of the palace, he saw a scene of joy. The king had a very beautiful only daughter, and she ran forward

She came to greet him and threw her arms around his neck. She was very happy to see her old father return. She asked him where he had been for so long. He told how he had lost his way and could hardly come back.

, but when he was walking through a large forest, a half-hedgehog and half-human monster riding a rooster on a high tree and playing bagpipes pointed out the direction to him and helped him out of the forest, but he promised in return

, gave him the first thing he met in the palace courtyard, and now the first thing he met was her, and the king felt very sad for this. Unexpectedly, the princess made a surprising statement and said: For her beloved father,

She was willing to go with Hans when he came.

Hans the Hedgehog still took good care of his pigs, and the pigs became bigger and bigger, so that the whole forest was crowded. So Hans the Hedgehog decided not to live in the forest anymore, and he sent a message to his father.

, said that all the pig pens in the village would be emptied, and he would drive a large group of livestock back and recruit all the people who knew how to kill pigs. His father felt embarrassed when he found out about this, because he always thought that Hans the Hedgehog was dead long ago.

Hans the Hedgehog sat comfortably on the back of the rooster and drove a group of pigs into the village. He gave an order and the slaughtering began. I saw the knife and ax falling, and the flesh and blood were everywhere. The sound of killing pigs could be heard for miles around!

After the incident was over, Hans the Hedgehog said: "Father, please go to the blacksmith shop to clap the rooster again. This time I will never come back after I leave." The father cuffed the rooster again, and he felt relieved.

, because Hans the Hedgehog will never come back.

Hans the Hedgehog rode a rooster to the first kingdom. The king there ordered that whenever a man riding a rooster and holding a bagpipe was seen, everyone should raise their bows and arrows, pick up knives and guns, and block him from outside the palace. So Hans the Hedgehog

When Si arrived in front of the city gate, they all rushed towards him with their spears and spears raised. He knocked the rooster with his shoe spike, and the rooster flew up, crossed the city gate, and landed in front of the king's window. Han

Hans shouted that the king must fulfill his promise and give him what belongs to him, otherwise he will kill the king and his daughter. The king was very frightened at this time, and he begged his daughter to go with Hans. Only in this way could he save himself and his daughter.

Her father's life. So she put on white clothes, took a six-horse carriage and a group of beautiful maids, as well as gold and treasures that her father gave her, got into the carriage, and returned Hans and the rooster.

A bagpipe was placed beside her, and then they set off together. The king thought he would never see his daughter again, but he never expected that not far from the city, Hans the Hedgehog stripped her of her beautiful clothes,

Then he pricked her with thorns on his body till blood dripped all over her body. "This is the reward for your hypocrisy and cunning," he said, "Go away, I won't want you." After that, he drove her back,

From then on, she was looked down upon throughout her life.

Hans the Hedgehog rode a rooster and played the bagpipe and continued to walk towards the country of the second king. He once showed the way to that king. The king ordered that anyone who looked like Hans the Hedgehog should raise his hand to him.

Keep him safe, sing long live to him, and lead him to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the king's daughter saw him and was startled by his strange appearance. At this time, she warned herself not to change her mind because she had made a promise to her father. So she came out to meet Hans the Hedgehog and married him.

For a hundred years, the two walked to the dining table in the palace, sat down side by side, and enjoyed the fine wine and food. When evening came, it was time for them to go to bed and rest, but she was afraid of the thorns on his body, and he comforted her not to be afraid, saying that she would not

At the same time, he also asked the old king to send four soldiers to guard the door of the bridal chamber and light a fire. When he walked into the door of the bridal chamber and prepared to go to bed, he would climb out of the hedgehog skin and put the

Throw it next to the bed, and they must run over immediately, pick up the hedgehog skin and throw it into the fire. They will not leave until it burns up. When the clock strikes eleven, he walks into the bridal chamber, takes off the hedgehog skin, and throws it next to the bed.

The soldier ran over quickly, picked up the hedgehog skin and threw it into the fire. When the fire burned the skin to ashes, he was saved and turned into a human being lying on the bed. His whole body was dark as if he had been burned by fire. The king sent him to guard the hedgehog.

The doctor scrubbed and smeared his whole body with expensive ointment. Soon, his skin turned white and he became a handsome young man. The king's daughter was very happy to see him like this, and they got up happily the next morning.

After eating and drinking together, the wedding was held again in a solemn atmosphere, and Hans the Hedgehog inherited the throne of the old king.

A few years later, he took his wife to see his father and told his father that he was his son. However, his father repeatedly stated that he had no son, saying that he once had one who was born like a thorny hedgehog and had left long ago.

I don’t know where he went. Hans proved who he was, and the old father was very happy and followed him to his kingdom.
