格林童話的故事
A king and queen once upon a time reigned in a country a great way off， where there were in those days fairies. Now this king and queen had plenty of money， and plenty of fine clothes to wear， and plenty of good things to eat and drink， and a coach to ride out in every day： but though they had been married many years they had no children， and this grieved them very much indeed. But one day as the queen was walking by the side of the river， at the bottom of the garden， she saw a poor little fish， that had thrown itself out of the water， and lay gasping and nearly dead on the bank. Then the queen took pity on the little fish， and threw it back again into the river; and before it swam away it lifted its head out of the water and said， I know what your wish is， and it shall be fulfilled， in return for your kindness to meyou will soon have a daughter.
What the little fish had foretold soon came to pass; and the queen had a little girl， so very beautiful that the king could not cease looking on it for joy， and said he would hold a great feast and make merry， and show the child to all the land. So he asked his kinsmen， and nobles， and friends， and neighbours. But the queen said， I will have the fairies also， that they might be kind and good to our little daughter. Now there were thirteen fairies in the kingdom; but as the king and queen had only twelve golden dishes for them to eat out of， they were forced to leave one of the fairies without asking her. So twelve fairies came， each with a high red cap on her head， and red shoes with high heels on her feet， and a long white wand in her hand： and after the feast was over they gathered round in a ring and gave all their best gifts to the little princess. One gave her goodness， another beauty， another riches， and so on till she had all that was good in the world.
