Once upon a time, a king had a blonde wife. She is very, very beautiful, and no one in the world can compare with her. However, she fell ill. When she felt that she was going to die, she called the king and said, "If you want to get married again after my death, you must never marry a woman who is not as beautiful as me and has such blonde hair like me. You must promise me! " The king agreed, and his wife closed her eyes and died.

The king was so sad for a long time that he didn't want to take a second wife at all. Finally, the ministers spoke: "That's no good. The king must get married again and let us have a queen!" " So he sent an imperial envoy to all parts of the country to search for a fiancee who could compete with the dead queen. But such a beautiful woman can't be found all over the world. Even if one is found, she doesn't have the same blonde hair. The imperial envoys ended up busy for a while and came back.

The king has a daughter who is as beautiful as her late mother and has the same blonde hair. She grew up slowly. One day, the king looked at her and found that she looked exactly like her dead wife. Suddenly he felt deeply in love with her. So the king told his ministers, "I want to marry my daughter, because she is just like my dead wife;" Otherwise, I will never find a fiancee who is similar to her! " The ministers were frightened and said, "God forbid fathers to marry their daughters as wives. This sin will never have any good results, and the whole kingdom will suffer! " The princess was even more frightened when she heard her father's decision, but she hoped to make him change his mind, so she said to him, "Before I can satisfy your wish, I must have three clothes, one is like the sun and golden; One is like the moon, silver; One is like a star, shining. Besides, I want a cloak made of 1 kinds of fur, and every animal in your kingdom must have a piece of leather to put in the cloak. " The princess thought, "These are completely impossible, so I can ask my father to give up his bad ideas." But the king refused to give up and ordered the most capable girls in the country to knit those three clothes together. One should be golden like the sun, one should be silver like the moon, and the other should be shining like a star. And his hunters, who were also ordered by the king to hunt all kinds of animals all over the country, peeled off a piece of their skin and sewed that cloak with thousands of furs. Finally, when the cloak was sewn, the king sent it, spread it out in front of the princess and said, "The wedding is scheduled for tomorrow!" "

At this time, the princess saw that there was no hope of changing her father's mind, so she decided to run away. At night, when everyone was asleep, she got out of bed and took three pieces from her treasure: a gold ring, a gold spinning wheel and a small gold winding car. Those three gorgeous clothes, like the sun, the moon and the stars, she put them in a walnut shell, but put on a cloak sewn with thousands of furs and smeared her hands and face with soot. Then she prayed to God and left. After walking all night, she finally entered a big forest. Because she was very tired, she squatted in an empty trunk and fell asleep.

The sun came out, and she was still asleep. It was noon, and she was still sleeping. At this moment, another king who happened to own this forest came to hunt in the forest. His dog ran to the tree and sniffed it and jumped around and barked. The king ordered the hunters: "Look at what wild animals are hiding inside!" " The hunters were ordered to go, and later came back to report: "There is a monster lying in the empty trunk, and we have never seen it before!" Its fur has a thousand patterns, but it's still asleep. " The king said, "See if you can catch it alive, tie it to a car and take it back to the palace." The hunters caught the girl, and she woke up at once, scared to death, pleading with them: "I am a poor girl, abandoned by my parents, have pity on me, take me away!" " "Mischief," the hunters replied, "it's good for you to go to the kitchen like this. Come on, you can sweep the coal ash there. " So they took her to the car and sent her to the palace. There, they pointed to a small barn that was dark under the stairs and said to her, "Little beast, you live here and sleep here!" " Later, she was led into the kitchen, where she moved firewood and carried water, made a fire and swept the ashes, plucked the hair and picked vegetables, and did all kinds of rough and dirty work.

Mischief lived a miserable life for a long time. Alas, your beautiful princess, what kind of bad luck will you encounter in the future? ! Unexpectedly, there was a dance in the sky one day, and she asked the chef, "Allow me to go up and have a look?" I just want to stand outside the hall door. " "Ok, go ahead," replied the chef. "I just have to come back in half an hour to clean the coal ash." So, she put on her little oil lamp, returned to her small barn, took off her fur cloak, and washed her hands and face, thus revealing all her former beauty. Then she uncovered the walnut shell, took out the dress as golden as the sun and put it on, and then went to the upper hall. As soon as people saw her, they all backed away. No one knew her, and everyone thought she must be a beautiful princess. The king himself came forward and offered her his hand to ask her to dance, thinking, I have never seen such a beautiful girl with such eyes. After the dance, she bowed, and when the king looked for her again, she was gone, and no one knew where the beautiful woman had gone. The guards standing in front of the palace were asked, but none of them saw her.

As for her, she has already run back to her small barn, quickly stripped off her beautiful clothes, blackened her hands and face, wrapped in thousands of cloaks made of fur, and became a miscellaneous girl again. When she went into the kitchen and was about to do her job of sweeping coal ash, the cook said, "I'll sweep it tomorrow." Now cook a bowl of soup for the king for me. As for me, I also want to go up there and see for myself. But don't drop a hair into the soup for me, or you won't get anything to eat in the future! " The chef said and left, and the miscellaneous girl began to cook soup. She tried her best to cook a soup with diced bread for the king. When it was finished, she went back to her pen to get the gold ring and put it in the soup bowl. After the dance, the king sent the soup, drank the soup, and found it very delicious. He had never tasted a better soup. However, after drinking at the bottom of the bowl, the king suddenly found a gold ring and wondered how it got into the soup. He then ordered the cook to be brought. When the cook heard this, he was frightened and said to the hairy girl, "You must have dropped a hair in the soup. That's true, I won't beat you! " He was taken to the king, and the king asked, who cooked the soup? The cook replied, "I cooked it." The king said, "Lie! The soup tonight is different and much more delicious than usual. " The cook replied, "I have to tell the truth. I didn't cook the soup, but the little hairy beast." "Go and get her," the king ordered.

Mischief came, and the king asked her, "Who are you?" -"I am a bitter child, and my father and mother are all gone." The king continued to ask, "What are you doing in the palace?" "I can't do anything," she replied. "I only deserve to be thrown boots at my head." The king asked, "Where did you get that ring in the rice soup?" "I don't know anything about a ring," she answered. The king had to send her back because he couldn't find any result.

After a while, there was another dance in the palace. Miscellaneous Maiden asked the chef to allow her to see it as she did last time. The chef replied, "OK, but I have to come back in half an hour to cook his favorite diced bread soup for the king!" She ran back to her small barn, washed her hands and face quickly, took out the dress as bright as the moon from the walnut shell and put it on her body. Then she walked into the hall above, just like a princess. The king greeted her and was glad to see her again. Just as the dance started, they both jumped together. After two dances, she ran away again, and the king didn't have time to find out where she had gone. She rushed into her barn, dressed up as a miscellaneous girl again, and went back to the kitchen to cook soup. When the cook went up to watch the excitement, she took a small golden spinning wheel and threw it into the soup bowl. Later, the soup was sent to the king. As soon as he drank it, he thought it was as delicious as last time, so he sent it to the cook to ask. The cook had to admit this time that the soup was cooked by a miscellaneous girl. Miscellaneous girl came to the king again, but her answer was: she only deserves to be thrown at her head with boots, but she knows nothing about the golden spinning wheel in the soup.

for the third time, the king held a ball, which was no different from the previous two. Although the cook scolded, "you are a witch, you hairy beast!" You always put something in the soup to taste it, so that the king likes it better than drinking my cooking! " But she begged again and again, and he still allowed her to go up for a while. So she put on clothes shining like stars and stepped into the hall. The king danced with the beautiful girl again, thinking that she was more beautiful than ever. Jumping, he secretly put a ring on her finger, and she didn't notice. Moreover, the king ordered that the dance music be dragged as long as possible, and finally it was finished. He tried to hold her hand tightly, but she broke free and quickly rushed into the crowd and disappeared in front of him. She hugged desperately and ran into the small barn under her stairs. However, she has been delayed for too long, more than half an hour, and it is too late to take off that gorgeous dress, but just put on a fur cloak; And in a hurry, I didn't completely discredit myself, and a finger was born in vain. At this time, Mischief returned to the kitchen and cooked diced bread soup for the king. As soon as the cook left, she took a small gold winding car and put it in the soup. The king found the gold winding car on the bottom of the bowl, which made people call the girl. He suddenly caught sight of her whisked finger, and saw that there happened to be a ring he put on her when he was dancing. He grabbed her hand, and she tried to escape, earning a little fur cloak, and the clothes inside flashed out like stars. The king grabbed the cloak and tore it off. Look, she's showing her blonde hair, and she's standing there so beautiful that it's no longer possible to hide! When she washed away the soot and ash on her face, she became more and more beautiful, so beautiful that no one in the world had ever seen it: only the king said, "You are my dear fiancee, and we will never part!" " Then a wedding was held. They lived happily for a hundred years.
