INTERMEDIATE THREE INTENSIVE COURSE
The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids
by
the Grimm Brothers
There was once upon a time an old goat who had seven
little kids, and loved them with all the love of a mother for her children. One
day she wanted to go into the forest and fetch some food. So she called all
seven to her and said, "Dear children, I have to go into the forest, be on
your guard against the wolf, if he comes in, he will devour you all - skin,
hair, and everything. The wretch often disguises himself, but you will know him
at once by his rough voice and his black feet."
The kids said, "Dear mother, we will take good
care of ourselves, you may go away without any anxiety." Then the old one
bleated, and went on her way with an easy mind.
It was not long before some one knocked at the
house-door and called, "Open the door, dear children, your mother is here,
and has brought something back with her for each of you." But the little
kids knew that it was the wolf, by the rough voice.
"We will not open the door," cried they,
"you are not our mother. She has a soft, pleasant voice, but your voice is
rough, you are the wolf."
Then the wolf went away to a shopkeeper and bought
himself a great lump of chalk, ate this and made his voice soft with it. The he
came back, knocked at the door of the house, and called, "Open the door,
dear children, your mother is here and has brought something back with her for
each of you."
But the wolf had laid his black paws against the
window, and the children saw them and cried, "We will not open the door,
our mother has not black feet like you, you are the wolf."
Then the wolf ran to a baker and said, "I have
hurt my feet, rub some dough over them for me. And when the baker had rubbed
his feet over, he ran to the miller and said, "Strew some white meal over
my feet for me." The miller thought to himself, the wolf wants to deceive
someone, and refused, but the wolf said, "If you will not do it, I will
devour you." Then the miller was afraid, and made his paws white for him.
So now the wretch went for the third time to the
house-door, knocked at it and said, "Open the door for me, children, your
dear little mother has come home, and has brought every one of you something
back from the forest with her."
The little kids cried, "First show us your paws
that we may know if you are our dear little mother."
Then he put his paws in through the window, and when
the kids saw that they were white, they believed that all he said was true, and
opened the door. But who should come in but the wolf. The kids were terrified
and wanted to hide themselves. One sprang under the table, the second into the
bed, the third into the stove, the fourth into the kitchen, the fifth into the
cupboard, the sixth under the washing-bowl, and the seventh into the
clock-case. But the wolf found them all, and used no great ceremony, one after
the other he swallowed them down his throat. The youngest, who was in the
clock-case, was the only one he did not find. When the wolf had satisfied his
appetite he took himself off, laid himself down under a tree in the green
meadow outside, and began to sleep.
Soon afterwards the old goat came home again from the
forest. Ah, what a sight she saw there. The house-door stood wide open. The
table, chairs, and benches were thrown down, the washing-bowl lay broken to
pieces, and the quilts and pillows were pulled off the bed. She sought her
children, but they were nowhere to be found. She called them one after another
by name, but no one answered.
At last, when she came to the youngest, a soft voice
cried, "Dear Mother, I am in the clock-case." She took the kid out,
and it told her that the wolf had come and had eaten all the others. Then you
may imagine how she wept over her poor children.
At length in her grief she went out, and the youngest
kid ran with her. When they came to the meadow, there lay the wolf by the tree
and snored so loud that the branches shook. She looked at him on every side and
saw that something was moving and struggling in his gorged belly. Ah, heavens,
she thought, is it possible that my poor children, whom he has swallowed down
for his supper, can be still alive?
Then the kid had to run home and fetch scissors, and a
needle and thread and the goat cut open the monster's stomach, and hardly had
she make one cut, than one little kid thrust its head out, and when she cut
farther, all six sprang out one after another, and were all still alive, and
had suffered no injury whatever, for in his greediness the monster had
swallowed them down whole.
What rejoicing there was! They embraced their dear
mother, and jumped like a sailor at his wedding. The mother, however, said,
"Now go and look for some big stones, and we will fill the wicked beast's
stomach with them while he is still asleep." Then the seven kids dragged
the stones thither with all speed, and put as many of them into his stomach as
they could get in, and the mother sewed him up again in the greatest haste, so
that he was not aware of anything and never once stirred.
When the wolf at length had had his fill of sleep, he
got on his legs, and as the stones in his stomach made him very thirsty, he
wanted to go to a well to drink. But when he began to walk and move about, the
stones in his stomach knocked against each other and rattled. Then cried he,
"What
rumbles and tumbles
Against my poor bones?
I thought 'twas six kids,
But it feels like big stones."
Against my poor bones?
I thought 'twas six kids,
But it feels like big stones."
And when he got to the well and stooped over the water
to drink, the heavy stones made him fall in, and he had to drown miserably.
When the seven kids saw that, they came running to the
spot and cried aloud, "The wolf is dead, the wolf is dead," and
danced for joy round about the well with their mother.

The Elves

First Tale
A shoemaker, by no fault of his own, had become so
poor that at last he had nothing left but leather for one pair of shoes. So in
the evening, he cut out the shoes which he wished to begin to make the next
morning, and as he had a good conscience, he lay down quietly in his bed,
commended himself to God, and fell asleep.
In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was
just going to sit down to work, the two shoes stood quite finished on his
table. He was astounded, and knew not what to think. He took the shoes in his
hands to observe them closer, and they were so neatly made, with not one bad
stitch in them, that it was just as if they were intended as a masterpiece.
Before long, a buyer came in, and as the shoes pleased him so well, he paid
more for them than was customary, and, with the money, the shoemaker was able
to purchase leather for two pairs of shoes. He cut them out at night, and next
morning was about to set to work with fresh courage, but he had no need to do
so for, when he got up, they were already made, and buyers also were not
wanting, who gave him money enough to buy leather for four pairs of shoes.
Again the following morning he found the pairs made, and so it went on
constantly, what he cut out in the evening was finished by the morning, so that
he soon had his honest independence again, and at last became a wealthy man.
Now it befell that one evening not long before
Christmas, when the man had been cutting out, he said to his wife, before going
to bed, "What think you if we were to stay up to-night to see who it is
that lends us this helping hand?"
The woman liked the idea, and lighted a candle, and
then they hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind some clothes which
were hanging up there, and watched. When it was midnight, two pretty little
naked men came, sat down by the shoemaker's table, took all the work which was
cut out before them and began to stitch, and sew, and hammer so skilfully and
so quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker could not avert his
eyes for astonishment. They did not stop until all was done, and stood finished
on the table, and they ran quickly away.
Next morning the woman said, "The little men have
made us rich, and we really must show that we are grateful for it. They run
about so, and have nothing on, and must be cold. I'll tell you what I'll do, I
will make them little shirts, and coats, and vests, and trousers, and knit both
of them a pair of stockings, and you make them two little pairs of shoes."
The man said, "I shall be very glad to do
it." And one night, when everything was ready, they laid their presents
all together on the table instead of the cut-out work, and then concealed
themselves to see how the little men would behave.
At midnight they came bounding in, and wanted to get
to work at once, but as they did not find any leather cut out, but only the
pretty little articles of clothing, they were at first astonished, and then
they showed intense delight. They dressed themselves with the greatest
rapidity, put on the beautiful clothes, and sang,
"Now we are
boys so fine to see,
Why should we longer cobblers be?"
Why should we longer cobblers be?"
Then they danced and skipped and leapt over chairs and
benches. At last they danced out of doors. From that time forth they came no
more, but as long as the shoemaker lived all went well with him, and all his
efforts prospered.
Second Tale
There was once a poor servant-girl who was industrious
and cleanly and swept the house every day, and emptied her sweepings on the
great heap in front of the door.
One morning when she was just going back to her work,
she found a letter on this heap, and as she could not read, she put her broom
in the corner, and took the letter to her employers, and behold it was an
invitation from the elves, who asked the girl to hold a child for them at its
christening. The girl did not know what to do, but, at length, after much
persuasion, and as they told her that it was not right to refuse an invitation
of this kind, she consented.
Then three elves came and conducted her to a hollow
mountain, where the little folks lived. Everything there was small, but more
elegant and beautiful than can be described. The baby's mother lay in a bed of
black ebony ornamented with pearls, the covers were embroidered with gold, the
cradle was of ivory, the bath-tub of gold. The girl stood as godmother, and
then wanted to go home again, but the little elves urgently entreated her to
stay three days with them. So she stayed, and passed the time in pleasure and
gaiety, and the little folks did all they could to make her happy.
At last she set out on her way home. But first they
filled her pockets quite full of money, and then they led her out of the
mountain again. When she got home, she wanted to to begin her work, and took
the broom, which was still standing in the corner, in her hand and began to
sweep. Then some strangers came out of the house, who asked her who she was,
and what business she had there. And she had not, as she thought, been three
days with the little men in the mountains, but seven years, and in the meantime
her former masters had died.
Third Tale
A certain mother had her child taken out of its cradle
by the elves, and a changeling with a large head and staring eyes, which would
do nothing but eat and drink, lay in its place.
In her trouble she went to her neighbor, and asked her
advice. The neighbour said that she was to carry the changeling into the
kitchen, set it down on the hearth, light a fire, and boil some water in two
egg-shells, which would make the changeling laugh, and if he laughed, all would
be over with him.
The woman did everything that her neighbor bade her.
When she put the egg-shells with water on the fire, Goggle-eyes said, "I
am as old now as the Wester
Forest , but never yet
have I seen anyone boil anything in an egg-shell."
And he began to laugh at it. Whilst he was laughing,
suddenly came a host of little elves, who brought the right child, set it down
on the hearth, and took the changeling away with them.
