The king changed his clothes 12 times a day. He really liked to show off to his subjects. “My clothes are the best in the world.”One day，two tailors planned a trick. “Why don‘t we teach that stupid and extravagant king a lesson. He doesn’t even worry about his starving people.” “That‘s right！He thinks he’s the best.”The two men went to see the king. “Oh，the world‘s most marvelous king！We have brought the most beautiful cloth in the whole world.” “However， not everyone is able to see the cloth. Those that tell lies and have bad hearts are not able to see this fine cloth.”After the king heard those words，he became very interested. “Could there really be such a cloth？ If I can make clothes out of those cloths，my clothes will be the best in the whole world. Hurry and show me the cloth.” The king began to get more and more greedy.The tailors pretended that the cloth was real， as they showed it to the king. The king and the finespoken subjects could not see anything before them. But， none of them could show that they could not see it. The king and his finespoken subjects just looked at each other. Then，the tailor quickly spoke in a arrogant manner. “Well， is there no honest man here？ How can you look at this beautiful clot h and not praise it.” Among the subjects， one of them made a flattering comment out loud. “Wow！This is the first time that I have seen such a wonderful cloth.” All the subjects tried to be the first to praise the cloth. Then， the king was amazed with the beauty of the cloth， too.The king gave the money and ordered them to make his clothes. For several days， the tailors pretended to be making the clothes. The king became worried and told one of his subjects to go and see how the clothes was coming along.The subject could not say how much the clothes had been completed. As hard as he looked， he could not see it. But， he could not say that he was unable to see it. Instead， he pretended to be amazed at how beautiful it was coming along.A few days later，the tailors came back with the King’s clothes. “Here you are，try on this clothes.” The king was not able to honestly say that he could not see the clothes. He， too， pretended to look over it. One man said，“Your majesty， lets go and show off this finest clothes in the world.” The subjects all agreed at the same time. “Yes， that is a good idea.”The king walked out to the street very proudly and walked with pride. All the people in the land came out to see the king‘s new clothes. They were all surprised， though.Just then， a little girl shouted out，“Our king is naked！” Then everyone said，“He’s naked，he‘s naked！”The king now realized the truth. However， with only his undergarments on， he still walked in a dignified manner. Even though he was embarrassed，he could not stop walking. Why not？ Because he was the king.【第四篇：The Elf of the Rose】There once was a rose bush in full bloom in a big garden. An elf was living in the most beautiful rose in the garden， and she was so small that people could not see her. She had long blond hair to her toes and beautiful wings.One day， it got dark before she got home. She had been dancing and flying around so she didn‘t have time to get back to the rose bush. Suddenly，the weather got cold， evening dew started to fall， and a strong wind began to blow. She could not stay in the other flowers because they were all closed up.“What am I going to do now？It’s too cold.” She got scared because she had never stayed outside at night. There was a twinkling light from the other side of the garden. “It‘s too cold， and I am scared. Maybe I should spend tonight there.”The elf flew to a pavilion on the other side of the garden in a hurry. But there were already two people in the pavilion. A beautiful young lady and a handsome man were praying that they would never be apart from each other. They were in love. “But we must go far away from each other soon.” “Your brother is sending me away because he does not like our marriage. Oh my bride， please wait for me until I come back to you！” She sobbed and nodded her head.She pulled off a rose from the bush which was aside her and kissed it. Then she gave him the rose as a token of her love. At that moment， the rose opened up. The elf went into the rose secretly.At that moment， a horrible looking man entered the pavillion. He wasthe brother of the young lady. “What？ You want to marry my sister？” He drew his sword and cut the young man and buried him under a lindentree.“He is gone forever now， and he will forget my sister. How dare the poor little boy want to marry my sister？ It is common to die during a trip，so nobody will suspect me of murdering him.” The brother brushed up his clothes and disappeared.The elf woke up and found she was in the middle of a dark fore st. “Oh my！ The forest is moving！” But it was not a forest. It was the hair of the young lady’s brother. She shivered with fear and anger.When they got in the house， the young lady from the garden was crying. The man looked at his sister and gave her a chilly smile， and went to bed. “Oh my lover， my dear fiance，please come back safely.” She sobbed sadly and fell asleep.The elf sat down quietly spreading her wings and told the young lady what she saw that day. “What I am trying to say now is not a dre am. If you dig under the lindentree in the garden， you will find your fiance. It is your brother who killed him.” The beautiful young lady woke up. She secretly went out of her room and dug under the lindentree as the elf had said.Her lover was lying in the ground， cold dead. She cried out sadly and killed herself right next to her fiance. After some time passed， a flower called，‘Jasmine’ came into bloom at the place where the two lovers had died. The Jasmine had big white flowers on the branch and had a sweet smell.Incidentally，the young lady‘s brother was walking down the road and he pulled off a branch of the jasmine and put it near his bedside. When night fell， two bees with poison stingers came out of the jasmine flowers and bit the brother’s ea rs and mouth， and then they vanished.【第五篇：The Ugly Duckling】A mother duck was brooding on her eggs near the margin of a pond. A flock of lovely baby ducks was soon born， making sweet peeping sounds when the eggs were broken. But one egg remained unbrok en. “It is strange. Why has this egg not broken？”The mother duck continued her brooding. At last， the egg was broken and a baby duck was born. However that baby duck was very ugly compared to the other baby ducks.The mother duck was worried， but still she took the baby ducks near the water and taught them how to swim. The ugly duckling also swam with his brothers and sisters，moving his legs eagerly. “It is lucky though. That baby swims well.” Still his brothers pecked at the ugly duckling with their bills.“How hideous this baby duck is. We don‘t want to see you. Go to a cat.” His brothers gave a very hard time to the poor duckling. “Stop it，don’t do that！” The mother duck sighed and said，“Ah！ I wish that this baby could live happily at another pl ace.”The baby duck heard what his mother said and dropped tears of sorrow saying，“Mom，I will leave. Goodbye.” The ugly duckling left his nest beyond the pond.When he entered the forest， other birds were frightened by the baby duck and ran away. “Wh y do they run away？ Is it because I am so awful？” The baby duck became sadder and plodded along the field.Near the water beside the field， two wild ducks were playing around. “Yah， what is that ugly duck？Let‘s make fun of him.” The two wild ducks flew up in the air and threw stones at the baby duck.“Bang！ Bang！” At that time， a hunter shot his gun. The two wild ducks fell down dead to the ground. “Uh？ What is this small bird？” The hunter took home the awkward little baby duck along with the two wild ducks.“Dad， what is this poorlooking bird？” “I took it with me in order to give it to you，my son. It was trembling with fear in the water.” The children gave a hard time to the baby duck by pulling its wings and tail.“That hurts！ Ow！” The baby duck spilled a jug of milk while running away from the cruel hands of the children. The dishes on the table were also broken. The angry hunter sent out the baby duck with a flourish of his broomstick. And so the after being cast out from the house of the hunter， the ugly duckling spent a long and cold winter alone.Finally spring came. The baby duck had a good stretch and flew up in the air vigorously. “Uh！ I am flying！”Upon the lake， a flock of white and pretty swans were playing around while swimming. “They are indeed pretty birds.” The baby duck became sad. “Those birds may not like me as I am so ugly.”The baby duck tried to run away from the group of beautiful swans. “Hi！Where are you going？ Come and play around with us！” The baby duck approached the swans hesitatingly. At that moment， the baby duck saw his own appearance reflected to the lake. There was one more beautiful swan gliding gracefully across the water.The ugly duckling who overcame all suffering had finally become a beautiful swan. And so he lived happily ever after.【第六篇：Nightingale】A long time ago in China there lived an emperor. The emperor loved to read books.

One day， their mother died of a disease.Eventually the King married again. The new Queen hated the twelve children.She said craftily，“Elisa is weak， and it would be good for her to go to the country for recuperation.” The King was grateful to the Queen，as she seemed to care for the health of his daughter. Therefore， the Princess was sent off to the remotest corner of the country.The Queen then changed the eleven Princes into swans through her magic power， and sent them away from the royal palace. The Princes flew away crying sadly. “Oh！I feel good. It is my world now.”After some time， the King missed Princess Elisa and sent for her. The Queen had Princess Elisa wear a dirty and wornout dress. The King was very surprised to see the dirty Princess Elisa. “Elisa， how do you dress yourself？” Then the Queen said quickly，“Dea r Lord，it seems that Princess Elisa has gone mad.” The King was furious and sent the Princess away from him.“Ah！ Where are my brothers？” The Princess asked a man passing by，“Have you ever seen eleven Princes？” The man said，“I have not seen eleven Princes but I have seen eleven swans. Strangely the swans wore golden crowns. You may find them near the river.”Princess Elisa waited for her brothers near the river hoping to find them. At night， eleven swans swooped down to the ground and were turned int o the form of Princes. “My brothers！” “Elisa！” They cried and embraced each other.The brothers were trapped under the spell of the wicked Queen， and were forced to become swans and fly around to look for something to eat during the day. Elisa prayed earnestly，“Dear God， please release the magic curse from my brothers.” In her dreams that night， a fairy appeared andsaid，“Make mantles for your brothers with hemp and have them wear the mantles. However， you should not speak at all until those mantles are made completely.”The Princes thought that Elisa， who did not speak and merely kept knitting， had become strange. One day， a Prince from a neighboring kingdom saw the knitting Princess when he was out hunting. The Prince took Elisa to his palace saying to himself，“She is a really beautiful lady.I am going to make her happy.”But Elisa did not say anything， and only kept knitting eagerly. At nightfall of the next day， the hemp was all used up. Elisa picked some more hemp near a grave but was caught by the Prince. The Prince said，“You dared to go to a grave at night？ You must be a witch. Take this witch and burn her at the stake！”Princess Elisa was unable to say anything and was imprisoned. Princess Elisa continued knitting without taking rest even in the prison. Princess Elisa was finally knitting the eleventh mantle， while being carried on a cart going to the burning place. The villagers threw stones at her while shouting，“That witch is still knitting. Burn her at the stake！” At that precise moment， the eleven swans flew in. Princess Elisa threw the finished mantles to the swans. Only then， Princess Elisa opened her mouth. “I now can speak. I am not a witch.”They donned the knitted hoods they were turned back into Princes. The Princess told the Prince what had happened up to that time. Thereafter，the Prince and Princess Elisa lived happily together in their kingdom.【第八篇：The Unwise Hans】In the countryside， there lived three brothers. The first and second brothers were very wise. But the third was not very wise. People called him unwise Hans. All three of the brothers wanted to marry the princess. The princess had said that she wanted to marry the wisest man on the land.“We only have one week.”So in order to marry the princess， they hurried off on their way. The father of the three brothers gave horses to only two of the sons. The first brother got a brown horse and the second brother got a white horse. But，no horse was given to Hans. The unwise Hans left on a goat， instead of a horse.The older brothers laughed at Hans. Still， Hans left with his brothers. After sometime，Hans picked up a dead crow on the road. “Brothers， look at this.” “What are you going to do with that？” “I‘m going to give it to the princess.” The brothers continued t o laugh at Hans.As Hans was going along the road， besides the crow， he picked up an old wooden clog and good quality mud. The older brothers no longer paid attention to Hans’ strange behavior and hurried off on their horses reaching the castle before Hans.In front of the castle there stood the princess and many people who wanted to marry her. However， all the people who went inside of the princess‘ room came out stuttering and muttering quietly to themselves. Finally the first brother went in. “You’re not right. Please go.” The first brother had forgotten everything that he had memorized. So，he could not say one word. Next the second brother went in. The princess told him to leave， as well. The second brother could not understand the princess’ quest ion. Hans was the last person to go in.“The room is hot.” “The rooster is being roasted.” “Then roast my crow， as well，please.” “What should we do？There is no plate.” “Here it is.”Hans showed the old wooden clog that he had hidden. The princess made a smile on her face. “Then where can we get the sauce？”Hans showed her the mud that he had picked up on the road，too. “Ha，Ha，Ha this is really fun.”The unwise Hans gave the princess the wisest answers. That‘s how the princess and the unwise Hans got married. The unwise Hans became the king of that land.【第九篇：Thumbelina】Once upon a time， there lived a woman who had no children. The woman went to a sorcerer and begged，“I want to raise a pretty baby.” The sorcerer then gave her a flower seed. As soon as the seed was planted，a tulip blossomed forth. From the floral leaf， a lovely baby girl who was as short as a thumb was born.“Mother， how are you？” The baby girl who came out from the flower said hello to her mother with a beautiful voice. The woman was very happy and wanted to give her a pretty name. “A baby who is as short as a thumb (I)will name her as Thumbelina.”Thumbelina led a happy life sailing her ship across a pond filled with flowers. But one night， there appeared a horriblelooking toad when Thumbelina was asleep. “She is really a pretty girl. I am going to make her my bride.” The toad carried the sleeping girl on his warty back and went to his pond. Thumbelina woke up in the morning， and was so surprised that she could do nothing but weep silently.She thought that she would rather die than become the wife of a toad. The fish who saw this unhappy event were sympathetic towards the poor girl，and said，“Thumbelina is pitiful. Let‘s help her.” The fish cut the leaf of a lotus flower on which Thumbelina was riding， so that she could run away from the toad. She was roaming around the riverside riding on the leaf of a lotus flower. At that time， a beetle came flying about and spied the top of the head of Thumbelina.“Uh！ She is a very pretty girl. Okay， I am going to make her my friend.” The beetle grabbed Thumbelina and flew into the forest. “How about that？She is my friend. Isn’t she very pretty？” The beetlebragged about her to his other beetle friends， but they all thought that s he was an odd creature. “What？ She only has two legs but has no wings like we do. It is really strange.”With his friends making fun of him， the beetle began to dislike Thumbelina. He went away with his friends， leaving the girl alone in the branches. She spent many lonely days eating tree fruits and flowers. “Dear God，please send me to my mother.” Thumbelina wandered around the forest shivering from cold and hunger.After some time， it began to snow. Thumbelina was looking for a place to take shelter when she finally saw a twinkling light. “I am Thumbelina. Please allow me to take a rest in your house.” A field mouse woman greeted the girl warmly saying，“Oh my dear，please come in.”The field mouse woman loved Thumbelina as if she were her own daughter. One day， a rich mole from a neighboring burrow came to the house for a holiday. He said，“She is a really pretty girl. It would be good if she became the wife of my son.” The field mouse woman was very happy about what the rich mole said. But Thumbelina did not like that haughty fellow. Yet she was unable to reject what the field mouse woman wanted.Thumbelina was taking a walk sadly in an underground passage， which was actually the house of the mole. At that time， she found a swallow that had fallen on the ground. “Ah， poor swallow. Please gain your strength.” Thumbelina nursed the swallow earnestly. Finally， spring came， and the swallow gained strength and was about to leave the underground passage. He said，“Dear Thumbelina， come with me to the flo wer country where there is nothing but sun and flowers.”She agreed and rode on the back of the swallow to the flower land， where the Prince of the country greeted her saying，“Welcome， Thumbelina！I was waiting for you.” There began a great party to wel come the happy girl. The Prince said，“Dear Thumbelina， would you please marry me andbecome the Queen of the flower country？”She said，“Yes， I will！” The Prince then gave his royal crown and wings to Thumbelina. To her bird companion she said，“Dear sw allow，please deliver this news to my mother.” Thereafter， the Prince and Thumbelina led a very happy life in the flower country.【第十篇：The Terrible King】A long time ago，there lived a terrible king.
