Once upon a time, there was a queen who had a little daughter who was still in her arms. The little girl was always naughty and dishonest, so her mother could only follow her temper and persuade her, but the little girl just refused to listen. Later, the mother became impatient.

, happened to see a group of crows flying around the palace, she opened the window and said harshly: "If you were a crow, you would still fly away, so I can be quiet for a while." Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the little girl

It turned into a crow and flew out of the window from her arms. It flew into the dark forest and stayed there for a long time. From then on, the parents never got any news from the little girl. One day, there was

A man was walking in the forest. He heard the cry of a crow and followed the sound. When he got closer, the crow cried and said, "I am the king's biological daughter. Now I am possessed by a demon. Only you can save me."

"What can I do?" he asked. She told him: "Keep going forward. Deep in the woods you will find a house with an old woman sitting inside. She will give you food and drink."

, but you must not accept it. Because once you eat or drink anything from her, you will immediately go to sleep, so you will not be able to rescue me. There is a lot of bark in the garden behind the house, you

You have to stand on the pile of bark and wait for me. For three consecutive days, every day at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will drive the carriage. The carriage is pulled by four white horses on the first day, four chestnut horses on the second day, and four horses on the last day.

A dark horse. If you were not awake but asleep, I wouldn't be able to escape." The man promised to do as she said, but the crow said sadly: "Oh my god! I knew you couldn't be saved.

I, you will accept the woman's things." However, the man once again promised that he would never touch the crow, whether it was food or drink. When he entered the house, the old woman greeted him: "Poor man

Son, look how tired you are, come and have something to eat and drink to replenish your strength." "No," the man refused, "I won't eat or drink." But she kept pestering her and tried to persuade her.

He said: "It's okay if you don't eat, but you have to drink this glass of water. A glass of water is nothing." Finally, he couldn't refuse, so he drank the water. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, he walked into the garden and went to the tree.

Waiting for the crow on the pile of hides. As he stood there, he immediately felt sleepy coming over him, and it became more and more sleepy, making him unable to resist, so he lay down and wanted to take a rest, but he didn't want to fall asleep. However, as soon as he lay down,

His eyelids closed automatically and he fell asleep immediately. He slept so deeply that nothing in the world could wake him up. At exactly two o'clock, the crow came driving a carriage with four white horses, and she felt a deep sleep.

Sad: "I know he is sleeping." When she entered the garden, she found that he was indeed sleeping on the pile of bark. She found that she got off the carriage, walked to him, shook him, and called him, but he would not wake up.

No. The next day at noon, the old woman came again and brought him food and water, but he neither ate nor drank. The old woman continued to pester him, and in the end he drank another glass of water. Nearly two o'clock

, he went to the bark pile in the garden to wait for the crow. At this moment, he felt sleepy and his limbs were weak. He was really unable to hold on, so he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep. When the crow came driving four brown horses

At that time, she said sadly: "I know he is sleeping." She walked to him and still found him lying there sleeping, and she could not wake him up no matter what. On the third day, the old woman asked what happened.

Why didn't he eat or drink? Did he want to die? He replied: "I can't eat or drink, and I don't want to." But she put a plate of food and a glass of wine in front of him, and he couldn't resist the delicious smell.

He took a big sip of wine. When the time came, he went to the bark pile in the garden to wait for the king's daughter. But he felt sleepier than yesterday, so he lay down and fell asleep like a stone. At two o'clock

Zhong, the crow came in a black carriage driven by a black driver and four black horses. Not to mention how sad she was, she said, "I know he is asleep and can't save me." She walked to him and said,

He was sleeping soundly. She rocked him and called him, but she could not wake him up. In desperation, she placed a loaf of bread, a piece of meat and a bottle of wine beside him, so that he could eat as much as he wanted at any time.

Eat as much as you want, and they will not diminish. Then she took a gold ring from her finger with her name engraved on it and put it on his finger. Finally, beside him, she placed a letter, which read

What she gave him would never diminish. She also wrote: "I know very well that you will never be able to save me here. If you are still willing, please go to the Golden Palace in Strongburg. I

I am 100% convinced that your power is contained there." After she put all these things in place, she got on the carriage and drove towards the Golden Palace in Strongburg.

After the man woke up, he realized that he had overslept again. He regretted it and said, "She must have been here, but I couldn't rescue her." He discovered the things around him, and after reading the letter, he understood.

Everything happened. So he stood up and got on the road, preparing to go to the Golden Palace in Stromborg, but he didn't know the way. He wandered around the world for a long time, and finally entered a dark forest,

After walking for fourteen days, he still couldn't find a way out. Another night came, and he was so exhausted that he fell asleep in the bushes. The next day, he continued on his way, and at night, he

When he was about to lie down under the tree to sleep, a burst of crying disturbed him and he could no longer sleep. At this time, someone lit a candle, and he saw a trace of candlelight, so he got up and walked forward. He walked to a building that looked like

In front of a very small house, because there was a huge giant standing in front of the door. He thought to himself: "If I walk in and let that big man see me, my life may be over."

Later he ventured in. The giant saw him and said to him: "It's very good of you to come. I haven't eaten for a long time, and it's just my supper." "I advise you not to do this.

"The man replied: "I don't want to be eaten by others. If you are really hungry, I have enough to fill you up." "Do you really mean this?" the giant said, "Don't be nervous, I have nothing.

I'm ready to eat you." They entered the house and sat down at the table. The man took out the endless bread, wine and meat. "This is really good." The giant said happily and wolfed it down for a while. Then the man asked him

"Do you know where the Golden Palace of Strongburg is?" The giant replied: "I have to look at my map. It has all the towns, villages and houses marked on it." He found the map in the house and looked for the gold.

Palace, but couldn't find it. "It doesn't matter!" he said: "There is a bigger map in the cabinet upstairs. Let's look for it again." But it was still in vain. The man was about to leave at this time, but the giant begged him to go again.

They waited a few days and said that his brother had gone out to collect supplies and waited for him to come back. When his brother arrived home, they asked where Strongburg's Golden Palace was. His brother replied: "Let me drink and eat first."

Look at the map again." After dinner, they went to his bedroom together and searched on his map, but couldn't find it. So he took out an older map and searched again and again, and finally found Strongburg's gold.

The palace is thousands of miles away. "How can I get there?" the man sighed. The giant said, "I can take you to that area in two hours, but once I get there, I have to go home quickly."

Breastfeed our children." So the giant took the man to a place a few miles away from the Golden Palace and said to him: "We are almost there, you can go alone easily." After that, he turned and left.

The man traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the Golden Palace in Stromburg. The Golden Palace was located on a glass mountain. The demon-possessed girl drove her carriage around the Golden Palace before entering the palace.

He was very excited to see her and wanted to climb up to see her, but he kept sliding down the glass and could not climb up. She was so close in front of him that he could not get close to her, which made him extremely anxious. In the end, he had no choice but to make up his mind: "Live in

Wait for her at the foot of the mountain." So he built a shed and lived in it for a whole year, watching the king's daughter driving around on the mountain every day, but he couldn't get close.

One day, he saw three robbers fighting outside in the shed, and shouted: "God is with you!" They stopped after hearing the shout, but found no one, so they started fighting each other again.

, beating you to death. He had no choice but to shout again: "God is with you!" They stopped again, but still didn't see anyone, so they beat each other again. The third time, he shouted again: "God is with you!"

You are with us!" Then he thought, "I have to go and see why they are fighting." So he went over and asked them why they were fighting so hard. One of them said that he had found a stick and could just hit any door with it.

The door opened immediately. The second said he found a cloak, and whoever put it on would become invisible. The third said he got a horse, and on it he could travel all over the world, and even climb mountains.

Glass Mountain. The problem now is that they don't know whether they should share these things or give them to individuals. The man said: "I have no money, but I have something more valuable. I will give you one thing in exchange for these three things."

But first I have to make a test to see if you are telling the truth." Then they lifted him on his horse, put a cloak on him, and put the stick in his hand. When he had all these things, they

He couldn't be seen anymore. At this time, he beat them hard and shouted: "You gangsters, you deserve this. Are you satisfied?" After saying that, he rode up the Glass Mountain. He arrived.

In front of the Golden Palace on the top of the mountain, he found that the door was closed, so he knocked on the door with a stick, and the door opened immediately. He entered the palace and walked up the stairs to a hall, where he found the girl sitting inside with a large plate in front of her.

but she could not see him, for he was wearing the cloak. He came to her, took the ring she had given him from his finger, and dropped it into the goblet with a clink. She

Shouting: "That's my ring, the man who is going to rescue me must be here." They searched the Golden Palace but could not find him. At this time, he walked outside the palace, mounted his horse, and dropped his cloak. They arrived.

When he finally found him in front of the door, he shouted with joy. He jumped off the horse and took the king's daughter into his arms. She kissed him and said: "You finally rescued me. Tomorrow we will

Just have a wedding."
