the Twelve BrothersJacob and Wilhelm GrimmOnce upon a time there were a king and a queen. They lived happily together and had twelve children, all boys. One day the king said to his wife, "If our thirteenth child, which you are soon going to bring into the world, is a girl, then the twelve others shall die, so that her wealth may be GREat, and so that she alone may inherit the kingdom."Indeed, he had twelve coffins made. they were filled with wood shavings and each was fitted with a coffin pillow. He had them put in a locked room, and gave the key to the queen, ordering her to tell no one about them.the mother sat and mourned the entire day, until the youngest son —— who was always with her, and who was named Benjamin after the Bible —— said to her, "Dear mother, why are you so sad?""Dearest child," she answered, "I cannot tell you."However, he would not leave her in peace, until she unlocked the room and showed him the coffins, already filled with wood shavings.then she said, "My dearest Benjamin, your father had these coffins made for you and your eleven brothers. If I bring a girl into the world, you are all to be killed and buried in them."As she spoke and cried, her son comforted her, saying, "Don't cry, dear mother. We will take care of ourselves and run away."then she said, "Go out into the woods with your eleven brothers. One of you should climb the highest tree that you can find. Keep watch there and look toward the castle tower. If I give birth to a little son, I will raise a white flag. If I give birth to a little daughter, I will raise a red flag, and then you should escape as fast as you can, and may God protect you. I will get up every night and pray for you, in the winter that you may warm yourselves near a fire, and in the summer that you may not suffer from the heat."After she had blessed her children, they went out into the woods. One after the other of them kept watch, sitting atop the highest oak tree and looking toward the tower. After eleven days had passed, and it was Benjamin's turn, he saw that a flag had been raised. It was not the white one, but instead the red blood-flag, decreeing that they all were to die.When the boys heard this they became angry and cried out, "Are we to suffer death for the sake of a girl! We swear that we will take revenge. Wherever we find a girl, her red blood shall flow."then they went deeper into the woods, and in its middle, where it was darkest, they found a little bewitched house that was empty.they said, "We will live here. You, Benjamin, you are the youngest and weakest. You shall stay at home and keep house. We others will go and get things to eat."Thus they went into the woods and shot rabbits, wild deer, birds, and doves, and whatever they could eat. These they brought to Benjamin, and he had to prepare them to satisfy their hunger. They lived together in this little house for ten years, but the time passed quickly for them.the little daughter that their mother, the queen, had given birth to was now grown up. She had a good heart, a beautiful face, and a golden star on her forehead.Once on a large washday she saw twelve men's shirts in the laundry and asked her mother, "Whose are these twelve shirts? They are much too small for father."the queen answered with a heavy heart, "Dear child, they belong to your twelve brothers."the girl said, "Where are my twelve brothers? I have never even heard of them."She answered, "Only God knows where they are. They are wandering about in the world."then she took the girl, unlocked the room for her, and showed her the twelve coffins with the wood shavings and the coffin pillows."these coffins," she said, "were intended for your brothers, but they secretly ran away before you were born," and she told her how everything had happened.then the girl said, "Dear mother, don't cry. I will go and look for my brothers."then she took the twelve shirts and went forth into the GREat woods. She walked the entire day, in the evening coming to the bewitched little house.She went inside and found a young lad, who asked, "Where do you come from, and where are you going?"He was astounded that she was so beautiful, that she was wearing royal clothing, and that she had a star on her forehead."I am a princess and am looking for my twelve brothers. I will walk on as long as the sky is blue, until I find them." She also showed him the twelve shirts that belonged to them.Benjamin saw that it was his sister, and said, "I am Benjamin, your youngest brother."She began to cry for joy, and Benjamin did so as well. they kissed and embraced one another with GREat love.then he said, "Dear sister, I must warn you that we have aGREed that every girl whom we meet must die."She said, "I will gladly die, if I can thus redeem my twelve brothers.""No," he answered, "you shall not die. Sit under this tub until our eleven brothers come, and I will make it right with them."She did this, and when night fell they came home from the hunt. As they sat at the table eating, they asked, "What is new?"Benjamin said, "Don't you know anything? "。
格林童话故事第：十二个懒汉The twelve idle servant
格林童话故事第39篇：十二个懒汉The twelve idle servants从前有十二个小厮，他们白天什么事都不干，晚上也不肯努力，只是往草地上一躺，各自吹嘘起自己的懒劲来。
第一个说："你们的懒惰和我怎能相比，我有我的懒法。
我首先要注意保护身体。
我吃得不少，喝得更多。
我每天吃顿饭就稍稍停一会儿。
等我又饿了，吃起来就更香了。
早起可不是我的事，可一到中午，我早就找到了午休的地方了。
东家叫我我只装着没听见，他再叫，我还要等一等再站起来，然后慢吞吞地走过去。
这种日子还凑合。
"第二个说："我要照看一头马，可我老把马嚼子塞在它口里，不高兴就根本不放食。
如果东家问，我就说喂过了。
我自己则躺在燕麦里睡大觉，一睡就是四个小时。
醒来后，就伸腿在马身上蹬几脚，算是给马刷洗了。
多一事不如省一事，这活干起来我还嫌累呢!"第三个说："为什么要拿活儿来苦自己?一点也没什么好处。
我干脆躺在阳光下睡大觉，天开始下雨点了，我也懒得起身。
以上帝的名义你尽情地下吧!最后下得噼噼啪啪响，大雨竟拔掉我的头发把它们漂走了，我的.头上还弄了个大口子，我在上面贴上块膏药，也就好了。
这种伤口我已有好几处了。
"第四个说："要我干活，我先游荡一小时，养足精力。
然后慢条斯理地问，是否还有帮手。
如果别人帮着干，就让他把主要活儿干完，我只在旁边看。
但这活儿还是太多了。
"第五个说："那有什么!请想想，要我从马厩里出粪，再装上马车。
慢慢地来，如果耙上叉着啥，我就向上半举着，先休息一刻钟，然后才把粪叉上车。
就算我一天装一车那已够多了，我才不想干死干活呢!"第六个说："真不要脸!我才不怕干活呢。
我睡了三周可没脱过衣。
系什么鞋?脚下的鞋要掉就掉吧，有什么要紧?上楼梯时我是一抬腿跟一步，慢慢地数着余下的级数，好教自己知道该在哪里坐下。
"第七个说："那有什么了不起的?我的东家盯着我干活，只是他老不在家。
格林童话12个兄弟山形图一判断在这一部分我们知道了故事人物场
格林童话12个兄弟山形图一判断在这一部分我们知道了故事人物场从前，有位国王和他的王后幸福地生活在一起。
他们一共有十二个孩子，全部都是男孩。
有一天，国王对他的妻子说道：“你现在已经怀上我们的第十三个孩子了。
如果这次是个女孩的话，我就会把我们的十二个儿子全都处死。
我希望由唯一的女儿来继承王国，还有我全部的财富。
”为了向妻子证明自己的决心，国王还特地造了十二口棺材。
每一口棺材里都垫好了木刨花，并且在尸体脑袋该在的位置安放好了枕头。
他把这些全部放在一个上锁的房间里，并且把钥匙交给了王后。
国王警告王后，不许把这件事告诉任何人。
待产的母亲成天呆坐，以泪洗面，为国王的这个决定发愁。
王后最小的，也是一直陪伴在她身边的儿子，这个取了《圣经》里本雅明名字的男孩，见到自己的妈妈如此伤心，便过来问她：“妈妈，你为什么这么难过啊？”“我最亲爱的孩子啊，”她回答道，“我没办法告诉你呢。
”可本雅明对这个回答并不满意。
他整天缠着她，追问她同样的问题。
王后被缠得没办法了，只好打开那个房间的铁锁，领他进去，给他看里面排成一排的十二口寿材，并向他展示棺内的木刨花。
然后，王后对儿子说道：“我最爱的本雅明，这些棺材是你们的父亲，为你和你的哥哥们准备的。
如果我肚子里的这个孩子，生下来是女儿的话，你们就都会被处死，放进这些棺材里，然后埋进土里去了。
”王后边说边哭泣，本雅明拥抱了母亲，安抚她道：“别哭了，亲爱的母亲，我们会赶在孩子出生之前，赶紧逃跑，自己照顾自己的。
”听到本雅明的话，母亲回应道：“快走，现在就赶紧逃到森林里。
找到林中那棵最高的树，然后，轮番爬到树梢上，监视王宫城堡的塔楼。
如果我诞下的是个小男孩的话，我就会在那里高高举起白旗；如果是女孩子，我就会举起红旗。
如果你们看到红旗，就尽你们所能逃跑吧——逃得越快，逃得越远越好。
愿上帝保佑你们！我会每晚偷偷起来，为你们祈祷的。
冬天时，我会祈求上帝，让你们每天都能有一团炉火来暖身；夏天时，我会祈求上帝，让你们不至于被热浪压迫得喘不过气来。
双语格林童话：十二兄弟Thetwelvebrothers
双语格林童话：十二兄弟ThetwelvebrothersThen said he, "Our sister is here," and he lifted up the tub, and the King's daughter came forth in her royal garments with the golden star on her forehead, and she was beautiful, delicate and fair. Then they were all rejoiced, and fell on her neck, and kissed and loved her with all their hearts.Now she stayed at home with Benjamin and helped himwith the work. The eleven went into the forest and caught game, and deer, and birds, and wood-pigeons that they might have food, and the little sister and Benjamin took care to make it ready for them. She sought for the wood for cooking and herbs for vegetables, and put the pans on the fire so that the dinner was always ready when the eleven came. She likewise kept order in the little house, and put beautifully white clean coverings on the little beds, and the brothers were always contented and lived in great harmony with her.Once on a time the two at home had prepared a beautiful entertainment, and when they were all together, they sat down and ate and drank and were full of gladness. There was, however, a little garden belonging to the bewitched house wherein stood twelve lily flowers, which are likewise called students. She wished to give her brothers pleasure, and plucked the twelve flowers, and thought she would present each brother with one while at dinner. But at the self-same moment that she plucked the flowers the twelve brothers were changed into twelve ravens, and flew away over the forest, and the house and garden vanished likewise. And now the poor maiden was alone in the wild forest, and when she looked around, an old woman was standing near her who said, "My child, what hast thou done? Why didst thou not leavethe twelve white flowers growing? They were thy brothers, who are now for evermore changed into ravens." The maiden said, weeping, "Is there no way of delivering them?""No," said the woman, "there is but one in the whole world, and that is so hard that thou wilt not deliver them by it, for thou must be dumb for seven years, and mayst not speak or laugh, and if thou speakest one single word, and only an hour of the seven years is wanting, all is in vain, and thy brothers will be killed by the one word."Then said the maiden in her heart, "I know with certainty that I shall set my brothers free," and went and sought a high tree and seated herself in it and span, and neither spoke nor laughed. Now it so happened that a king was hunting in the forest, who had a great greyhound which ran to the tree on which the maiden was sitting, and sprang about it, whining, and barking at her. Then the King came by and saw the beautiful King's daughter with the golden star on her brow, and was so charmed with her beauty that he called to ask her if she would be his wife. She made no answer, but nodded a little with her head. So he climbed up the treehimself, carried her down, placed her on his horse, and bore her home. Then the wedding was solemnized with great magnificence and rejoicing, but the bride neither spoke nor smiled. When they had lived happily together for a few years, the King's mother, who was a wicked woman, began to slander the young Queen, and said to the King, "This is a common beggar girl whom thou hast brought back with thee. Who knows what impious tricks she practises secretly! Even if she be dumb, and not able to speak, she still might laugh for once; but those who do not laugh have bad consciences." At first the King would not believe it, but the old woman urged this so long, and accused herof so many evil things, that at last the King let himself be persuaded and sentenced her to death.And now a great fire was lighted in the courtyard in which she was to be burnt, and the King stood above at the window and looked on with tearful eyes, because he still loved her so much. And when she was bound fast to the stake, and the fire was licking at her clothes with its red tongue, the last instant of the seven years expired. Then a whirring sound was heard in the air, and twelve ravens came flying towards the place, and sank downwards, and when they touched the earth they were her twelve brothers, whom she had delivered. They tore the fire asunder, extinguished the flames, set their dear sister free, and kissed and embraced her. And now as she dared to open her mouth and speak, she told the King why she had been dumb, and had never laughed. The King rejoiced when he heard that she was innocent, and they all lived in great unity until their death. The wicked step-mother was taken before the judge, and put into a barrel filled with boiling oil and venomous snakes, and died an evil death.从前有一个国王和一个王后，他们幸福地生活在一起，并且生了十二个孩子，可这十二个孩子全是男孩。

我看你们就从学习各种手艺开始，为将来独立生活打好基础。
"于是，四个兄弟拿着手杖，挎着小包，告别父亲，一起出门拜师求艺去了。
他们来到一个十字路口，不同方向的四条路分别通向不同的地区，老大说道："我们必须在这儿分手，四年后的今天我们再在这儿相会。

"老大说道："不!这不是正当的职业，靠这种本事谋生最终都免不了要被绞死。
"那人解释说："嗨!你不必担心什么绞刑架，因为我只是教你如何找出最适合的方式方法和对象，取到别人得不到的东西，来无影，去无踪，让别人找不着你的踪迹。
"听完之后，年青人被说服了，他跟着这位师傅学习，很快表现了他的天赋，只要是他想得到的东西，没有一样能逃过他的手心。

"一席话令他非常高兴，老二便在他那位老师的教导下，成了一名非常出色的占星学家。
十二兄弟-格林童话
十二兄弟-格林童话从前有一个国王和一个王后，他们和睦地生活在一起，一共生了十二个孩子，可这十二个孩子全是男孩。
于是，国王对他的妻子说：“如果你生的第十三个孩子是个女孩，我就把十二个男孩全杀掉，好让我们的女儿得到更多的财富，并能继承王位。
”说过之后，他便下令做了十二口棺材，里面装满刨花，放上寿枕，让人抬进一间屋子锁起来；然后，他把钥匙交给王后，不准她告诉任何人。
可是从此以后，王后整天坐在那里伤心难过。
她最小的儿子（她按照《圣经》给他取名叫本雅明）总是和她待在一起，禁不住问她：“亲爱的妈妈，你为什么这样难过呢？”——“最亲爱的孩子，”她回答说，“我不能告诉你。
”但是小儿子吵得她不得安宁，她只好去打开那间屋子，把那十二口装满刨花的棺材指给他看。
随后，王后说：“我最亲爱的本雅明，这些棺材是你父王让人为你和你的十一个哥哥准备的，如果我生了一个女孩，你们就会被全部处死，装进这些棺材里去。
”王后一边说一边哭，小儿子安慰她说：“别哭了，亲爱的妈妈，我们会有办法的，我们可以逃走嘛。
”可王后却对他说：“和你的十一个哥哥一起逃到森林里去吧！你们中间必须有一个人爬到一棵最高的树上放哨，密切注视宫里的塔楼。
如果我生了一个儿子，就在上面插一面白旗，你们便可以回来；如果我生了一个女儿，就在上面插一面红旗，那你们就赶快逃走，亲爱的上帝会保佑你们的。
每天晚上我都会起来为你们祈祷：冬天，你们有火取暖；夏天，你们不受烈日曝晒。
”王后为儿子们祝福之后，他们就到森林里去了。
他们一个接一个地轮流站岗放哨，爬到最高的橡树上，眺望着塔楼的方向。
十一天过后，轮到了本雅明，他突然看见塔楼上插了一面旗子：不过不是白旗，而是一面血红的红旗，这就表明他们非死不可。
兄弟们听到这个消息气坏了，愤愤地说：“居然为了一个女孩，让我们全都去死！我们发誓，我们要报仇：无论到哪儿，只要我们发现女孩，就非叫她鲜血横流不可！”然后，他们向森林的更深处走去。
走到森林中间最幽暗的地方，他们发现了一所中了魔法的空荡荡的小房子。

她们都在同一个房间睡觉，十二张床并排放着，晚上上床睡觉后，房门就被关起来锁上了。
有一个时期，每天早上起来后，国王发现她们的鞋子都磨破了，就像她们跳了一整夜舞似的。
到底发生了什么事，她们到哪儿去过了，没有人知道。
于是，国王通告全国：如果有人能解开这个秘密，找出这些公主整夜在哪儿跳舞，他就可以娶一个他最喜欢的公主作妻子，还可以继承王位。
但要是这人在三天以后没查清结果，他就得被处死。
不久从邻国来了一位王子，受到了热情的接待。
晚上他被带到了一个房间里，这房间正在公主们卧室的隔壁。
为了能听到看到可能发生的一切，他坐下后将房门敞开，一刻也不停地注视着。
可不久这位王子就睡着了，第二天早上醒来后，可以看出，公主们还是跳了一整夜的舞，因为她们的鞋底上都有磨破的洞眼。
接着两个晚上都发生了相同的情况，王子没能解开这个谜。
国王下令将他的头砍了下来。
继他之后，又有几个人来试过，但他们的命运和这位王子一样，都没有找出结果而丢了性命。
恰好有一个老兵经过这个国王的领地，他在作战中受了伤，不能再参加战斗了。
一天，他在穿越树林时，遇到了一个老婆婆，老婆婆问他要到哪里去，这位老兵回答说："我也不知道我去哪儿，该干什么去。
"接着又自我嘲弄地说："也许我该去探听那些公主是在哪儿跳舞才对，这样的话，将来还可以当国王呢。
"老太婆一听，说道："对，对!这不是什么难事，只要留心不喝公主给你的酒之类的东西，并且在她们要离去时，你假装睡熟了就成。
"临别，她送给他一件披风，说道："只要你把这件披风披在身上，她们就看不见你的踪影了。
然后，你就可以跟着公主到她们去的任何地方。

The Twelve Oxen 十二头牛The Twelve OxenThere were twelve brothers who fell out with their father, and all twelve of them left home They built themselves a house in the woods and made their living as carpenters Meanwhile their parents had a baby girl, who was a great comfort to them The child grew up without ever meeting her twelve brothers She had only heard them mentioned, and she longed to see themOne day she went to bathe at a fountain, and the first thing she did was remove her coral necklace and hang it on a twig A raven came by, grabbed the necklace, and flew off with it The girl ran into the woods after the raven and found her brothers' house No one was at home, so she cooked the noodles, spooned them onto the brothers' plates, and hid under a bed The brothers returned and, finding the noodles ready and waiting, sat down and ate But then they grew uneasy, suspecting the witches had played a joke on them, for the woods were full of witchesOne of the twelve kept watch the next day and saw the girl jump out from under the bed When the brothers learned she was not a witch but their own little sister, they made a great to-do over her and insisted that she remain with them But they cautioned her to speak to no one in the woods, because the place was full of witchesOne evening when the girl went to prepare supper, she found that the fire had gone out To save time, she went to a nearby cottage to get a light An old woman at the cottage graciously gave her the light, but said that, in exchange, she would come to the girl on the morrow and suck a bit of blood from her little finger"I can't let anyone in the house," said the girl "My brothers forbid it""You don't even have to open the door," replied the old woman "When I knock, all you have to do is stick your little finger through the keyhole, and I'll suck it" So the old woman came by every evening to suck the blood from her, while the girl grew paler and paler Her brothers noticed it and asked her so many questions that she admitted going to an old witch for a light and having to pay for it with her blood "Just let us take care of her," said the brothersThe witch arrived, knocked, and when the girl failed to stick her finger through the keyhole, she poked her head through the cat door One of the brothers had his hatchet all ready and chopped off her head Then they pitched the remains into a ravine One day on the way to the fountain, the girl met another old woman, who was selling white bowls"I have no money," said the girl"In that case I'll make you a present of them," said the old womanSo when the brothers came home thirsty, they found twelve bowels filled with water They pitched in and drank, and instantly changed into a herd of oxen Only the twelfth, whose thirst was slight, barely touched the water and turned into a lamb The sister therefore found herself alone with eleven oxen and one lamb to feed every dayA prince out hunting went astray in the woods and, turning up at the girl's house, fell in love with her He asked her to marry him, but she replied that she had to think of her oxen brothers and couldn't possibly leave them The prince took her tohis palace along with all the brothers The girl became his princess bride, and the eleven oxen and the lamb were put into a marble barn with gold mangersBut the witches in the woods did not give up One day the princess was strolling under the grape arbor with her lambkin brother that she always carried with her, when an old woman walked up to her"Will you give me a bunch of grapes, my good princess?""Yes, dear old soul, help yourself""I can't reach up that high, please pick them for me""Right away," said the princess, reaching up for a bunch"Pick that bunch there, they're the ripest," said the old woman, pointing to a bunch above the cisternTo reach it, the princess had to stand on the rim of the cistern The old woman gave her a push, and the princess fell in The lamb started bleating, and bleated all around the cistern, but nobody understood what it was bleating about, nor did they hear the princess moaning down in the well Meanwhile the witch had taken the princess's shape and got into her bed When the prince came home, he asked, "What are you doing in bed?""I'm sick," said the false princess "I need to eat a morsel of lamb Slaughter me that one out there that won't stop bleating""Didn't you tell me some time ago," asked the prince, "that the lamb was your brother? And you want to eat him now?"The witch had blundered and was at a loss for words The prince, sensing that something was amiss, went into the garden and followed the lamb that was bleating so pitifully It approached the cistern, and the prince heard his wife calling"What are you doing at the bottom of the cistern?" he exclaimed "Didn't I just leave you in bed?""No, I've been down here ever since this morning! A witch threw me in!"The prince ordered his wife pulled up at once The witch was caught and burned at the stake While the fire burned, the oxen and also the lamb slowly turned back into fine, strapping young men, and you'd have thought the castle had been invaded by a band of giants They were all made princes, while I've stayed as poor a soul as ever(Monferrato)NOTES:"The Twelve Oxen" (I dodici buoi) from Comparetti, 47, Monferrato, PiedmontThe folktales about the sister who rescues her brother or brothers changed into animals can be divided into two groups: the one where the seven sons are under a curse (as in Basile, IV, 8, or in Grimm, 9 and 25), and the other where the sole brother is transformed into a lamb (as in Grimm, 11, or in my no 178) The brothers are most commonly transformed into birds (swans, ravens, doves), and the first literary manifestation of the motif dates back to the twelfth century; the latest is possibly Andersen's "Wild Swans"Copyright: Italian Folktales Selected and Retold by Italo Calvino,translated by George Martin,Pantheon Books, New York 1980十二头牛从前有十二个兄弟，跟父亲吵架后，一起离开了家。
