About the story
What’s with this “Wren” thing?
   The oldest extant version of the fable we are presenting here appeared in 1913 in the first volume of a two-volume anthology of Low Saxon folktales (Plattdeutsche Volksmärchen “Low German Folktales”) collected by Wilhelm Wisser (1843–1935). Read more ...

鹪鹩

鹪鹩一直把自己的巢建在车棚里。一旦成年鹪鹩全都飞出家去。他们出门去为小孩子们觅食。这样小鹪鹩就被单独留在家中。

过一阵后,鹪鹩父亲返回到家中。

“发生什么事情了?”父亲问,“谁欺侮你们了。孩子们,你们都被吓坏了。”

“噢,爸爸,”他们说,“有一个大狮子刚才来了。他看上去凶残可怕。他一直瞪着我们的家。那双大眼睛把我们吓坏了。”

“我明白了,”父亲说,“那么他现在去那里了?”

“哎,”他们说,“他向那条路走去了。”

“你们等着我,”父亲说。“我就去追他。别担心了,孩子们。我会教训他的。”然后他向狮子方向飞去。

当他拐过弯,就看见那只狮子正在那里一个人散步。

但是鹪鹩父亲并不害怕。他飞下去,落在狮子的后背上。开始斥责他:“你到我家里干什么去了?”他说:“干嘛吓唬我的孩子们?”

狮子毫不在意,依旧散着步。

这个不以为然的态度让鹪鹩父亲更加严厉地开始斥责他:“你不应该到我家那里去。我告诉你,如果你再来,”他说,“你看好!我其实不想这样做,”他说着,最后抬起一条腿,“但是,下次我就会用腿踢烂你的后背。”

然后,他飞回自己的巢。“没事了,孩子们。”他说,“我已经教训了他一通。他不会再来了。”
