Once upon a time, there was a young locksmith who told his father that he would leave home and travel around the world in search of his happiness. ? That's good, right? The father replied? I quite agree with your idea. ?
Then he gave him some travelling expenses, and he traveled around and looked for a job. After a while, he decided not to be a locksmith because he was tired and became interested in hunting. Once on the road, he met a hunter in green, and the hunter asked him where he came from. The young man replied that he was an apprentice locksmith, but he had lost interest in this line and hunting became his favorite job, so he asked the hunter to teach him to hunt. ? That's great. ? The hunter said,? If you want to go with me. ? The young man followed him for many years. After finishing his studies, he hopes to show his skills in other places. The hunter had nothing else to give him, so he gave him an air pistol as a gift. With this gun, he can hit any target at any time.
Armed with a gun, he set off for a forest. The forest was so big that he couldn't walk for a day. In the evening, in order to prevent wild animals from attacking, he climbed a big tree. At midnight, he found a small light flashing in the distance. After careful observation through the dense branches, he kept the direction of light in his mind. Then he took off his hat and threw it at the light, so that he could come down from the tree and walk in the direction of his hat. He climbed down the tree, picked up his hat, put it on his head and went straight ahead. He found that as he walked forward, the light became brighter and brighter. As he approached, he saw a big bonfire with three giants sitting next to it. They are roasting a cow. Then a giant said:? Let me taste the meat first. ? Then he tore a piece and was about to put it in his mouth. The hunter knocked the meat out of his hand with one shot. ? Aha,? Said the giant. What a strong wind! It scraped the meat off my hand! ? Then he took another piece to bite, and the hunter shot it away again. The giant hit back, slapped another giant next to him and shouted angrily:? Why did you steal my meat? I didn't call? Another excuse? It must be a dead shot. ? The giant picked up another piece and the hunter shot it out of his hand.
Then the giant said, "You can get it out of my mouth!" Shooting meat must be a sharpshooter. This person will be useful to us. ? Then he shouted:? Sharpshooter, come out, sit by the fire with us and have a good meal. We won't hurt you. If you don't come out, we will use force, and you are dead! ? Hearing this, the young man came out and told them that he was a skilled hunter. No matter what he aims at, he can hit every shot. So they said that if he could join, they would never treat him badly. And told him that there was a big lake outside the Woods and a tower behind it. There is a lovely princess in the tower, and they really want to snatch her out. ? Of course. He agreed? I'll help you get her out. ?
Then they exhorted: But there is something else. There is a puppy there. Whenever someone comes near it, it barks. As soon as it barked, everyone in the palace woke up. So we can't get close. Can you kill it? No problem,? He said,? This is a piece of cake for me. ? After eating the meat, he boarded a boat and rowed across the lake. As soon as he went ashore, the puppy came running. Just as it was about to scream, the hunter raised his gun and shot it dead. The giant was very excited when he saw it, as if he had succeeded in getting the king's daughter. But the hunter wanted him to know the situation first and warned them to stay outside and not to make a move without his signal. He went into the castle and found that there was no sound inside, and everyone was asleep. He opened the door of the first room. There is a sword made of pure silver on the wall, engraved with the names of a gold star and a king. There is a sealed letter on the table nearby. He opened it and found that whoever got the sword could kill any enemy with it. So he took the sword from the wall, hung it around his waist and walked on. Then he went into the king's daughter's bedroom, where she was sleeping. Her beautiful gesture stopped the hunter. He held his breath and stared at her motionless.
He thought to himself, how can I give such an innocent girl to a savage giant and let them trample on her? They are up to no good. ? He looked around again and found a pair of slippers under the bed. The one on the right is embroidered with his father's name and a star, and the one on the left is embroidered with her own name and a star. She is wearing a big silk scarf with flowers embroidered with gold thread, her father's name on the right and her own name on the left. All the letters are embroidered with gold thread. He picked up a pair of scissors, cut the right piece and put it in his backpack. Then he picked up slippers embroidered with her father's name and put them in his backpack. The girl still slept soundly. She was wrapped in pajamas. He cut another piece from his pajamas and put it with other things, but he didn't touch the girl. In the girl's sweet dream, he left quietly.
When he reached the gate, the giant was still waiting for him outside. They think he will bring the princess out. He called them in and said that the girl was under their control, but he couldn't open the door, but there was a hole they could get into. The first one came. The hunter grabbed the giant's hair, pulled his head in, then cut it off with his sword and pulled himself in. He called the second one and cut off his head in the same way. Then he killed the third one. At this time, he felt a sense of relief, because he saved the beautiful girl from her enemies, and then he cut off the giant's tongue and put it in his backpack. Now he thinks: I will go home to see my father and let him know my achievements, and then I will travel around the world. May I get the grace of God smoothly. ?
When the king in the palace woke up, he found the bodies of three giants. He went to his daughter's bedroom to wake her up and asked who killed the giant. She replied:? Dear father, I have been sleeping, so I don't know. ? But when she got up and put on slippers, she found that the shoes on her right foot were missing, and then the corner on the right side of the scarf was cut off, and a pajamas were cut off. The king ordered all the palace staff, soldiers and all the people present to gather together and ask who saved his daughter and killed the giant. Then a captain stepped forward. He is an ugly one-eyed man. He reported that he had done it.
Hearing this, the old king said that in view of his great achievements, he thought he should marry his daughter. Unexpectedly, the princess said, Dear Dad, if I marry him, I might as well fly away by myself. ? But the king insisted that if the princess didn't want to marry him, she had to take off the royal clothes, put on the peasant clothes and leave the palace, and ordered her to find a Potter to sell pottery. So she took off her gorgeous palace costume, found a Potter, bought a lot of pottery on credit, set up a stall to sell it, and promised the Potter to pay him back if he sold it at night. The king asked her to set up a stall on a street corner to sell pottery, and arranged for some farmers to drive the carriage to crush the pottery into pieces. When the king's daughter stands in the street, she often rushes to several carriages and grinds all her pottery into pieces. Then she would cry and say, God, how can I make it up to you? The king thought he could force his daughter to marry the captain, but she found the Potter and asked him to sell her some on credit again. He said no, she had to pay off her old debts first. When she had no choice, she went to her father, cried her sorrow and begged her to leave home.
He said:? I'll build you a cabin in the distant forest. You will stay there all your life and cook for everyone, but you are not allowed to collect money. ? The shed was covered and a sign hung on the door, which read:? It's free today, and money will be collected tomorrow. ? She lived there for a long time, so the news spread that a girl cooked for free. The sign on her door says so.
Hearing this, the hunter thought: This suits you. You are poor and penniless. ? So he took his air pistol and backpack, which also contained all the physical evidence he had taken from the palace, and went into the forest and found the little shed. He picked up the sword that cut off the heads of three giants and went into the hut to ask for something to eat. He was fascinated by that beautiful girl. She really looked as beautiful as flowers and jade. She asked him where he came from, and he replied. I am a vagrant. ? Then she asked him where he got the sword, because her father's name was engraved on it. He asked curiously if she was the king's daughter. ? what's up She answered. He said:? I cut off the heads of three giants with this sword. ? Then he took out their tongues from his backpack to prove it. Then he showed her slippers, a corner of a scarf and a nightgown. She was overjoyed to see this. It turned out that he was her savior. So they went to see the king together and took him to the hut. The princess took him into her house and told him that the hunter had saved her from the giant.
When the king saw all the physical evidence, he no longer doubted and said that he was glad to know what had happened. Hunters should marry her. The girl is really happy. She disguised the hunter as a foreign rich man, and the king ordered a banquet. They sat down at the table. The captain sat on the left of the king's daughter and the hunter sat on the right. The captain thinks he is a visiting foreign nobleman. When they were full of food and drink, the old king asked the captain to guess a few things: if someone said that he had killed three giants, when he was asked where the giant's tongue was, he had to look at the giant's mouth, but the giant's mouth had no tongue. What do you think is going on? Then they have no tongues at all. No? The king retorted, every animal has a tongue. ? He then asked the person who made such an answer what to do, and the captain replied, it should be cut into pieces. ? So the king said, he announced his sentence. The captain was then thrown into prison and later divided into four parts by the body. The hunter became the husband of the king's daughter. After that, he lived with his parents, and they lived happily together. After the old king died, he succeeded to the throne.
