Tales And Stories


MINNYS VISIT TO TOWN

One day Minny, a mouse, came to her friend. Her friend, an old gray mouse, asked her to
sit down at the table and have some tea with her. She put two cups of tea and some bread
on the table. She said she had no sugar and no cheese and butter to eat with the bread. But
she said that there was a mouse in town* who had a lot of good things to eat.
Minny said that she often visited her cousin who lived in town. They had a lot of meat,
butter, cheese and sugar in their house. They had sweets and chocolates, too. But there
was a big animal with green eyes, a big mouth and very big teeth. He lived in that house.
All the mice were afraid of that animal.*
I know, my dear, it is a cat. I am afraid of cats myself, said the old gray mouse.
Yes, thats a cat, said Minny. You see, my dear, they have a lot of good things to eat
but they are afraid of that animal. I think it is better to have only bread and tea than to live
in fear.*

RED RIDING HOOD

Red Riding Hood was a little girl. She lived with her mother.
One day her mother said to her: Red Riding Hood, your grandmother is ill. Take this
basket* of food to her, please. Dont run. And be careful!*
Red Riding Hood took the basket and went to the forest. She met a wolf in the forest.
Where are you going, little girl? asked the wolf.
I am going to my grandmother. She is ill.
What have you got in your basket?
I have got some bread, a cake and a piece of
butter?
Where does she live?
In the forest. Her house is under the big trees.
Look at the flowers, Red Riding Hood! They
are so nice! Why dont you gather some flowers
for your grandmother? asked the wolf.
What a good idea. My grandmother loves
flowers, said Red Riding Hood. And she began to gather flowers.
The wolf ran to the grandmothers house.
The grandmother was in bed. The wolf ate her up.
When Red Riding Hood came into her grandmothers house, she saw her in bed. She
thought it was her grandmother. But it was not her grandmother. It was the wolf.
Please, come up to me, my little girl, said the wolf.
What big eyes you have got, Granny! said Red Riding Hood.
The better to see you, my dear.
What big ears you have got, Granny! said Red Riding Hood.
The better to hear* you, my dear.
What big teeth you have got, Granny!
The better to eat you! said the wolf.
He jumped out of bed and ate her up. But a hunter came in and killed the wolf. Red
Riding Hood and her grandmother jumped out of the wolfs stomach.
Thank you very much, sir, they said to the hunter. Red Riding Hood and her grandmother
were very happy to be together again.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS
I

Goldilocks was a little girl. Her name was Goldilocks because her hair was golden*.
She lived with her father and mother in a small house near the forest.
One day Goldilocks said: May I go for a walk, Mum?
Of course, dear. You may run and play in the forest near the house, said her mother.
Goldilocks puts on her hat, took a basket and ran to the forest. She jumped and sang
there. She was happy. She picked* flowers for her mother. The flowers were red, yellow,
white and blue. She played in the forest for a long time. Then she saw a house behind the
trees.
Whose house is that? she said.
She went to the door and opened it.
Who lives here? asked Goldilocks.
There was no answer. She went to the kitchen. There she saw a large table and three
chairs near it.
Whose chairs are these? she asked.
She sat on the first chair and said. This is a nice chair, but it is too big for me. She sat
on the second chair and said, I like this chair. It is nicer and smaller than the first one.
Then she sat on the third chair. It was the smallest and the nicest of the three.
She saw three plates on the table.
Whose plates are these? said Goldilocks.
The first plate was large. There was a lot of
porridge in it. The second plate was smaller.
And the third plate was the smallest of the
three. Goldilocks took a spoon and tasted* the
porridge of the first plate. Oh, it is good.
Then she tasted the porridge of the second
plate.
This porridge is better, she said.
But she liked the small plate and tasted its
porridge.

bed. Look! he cried. There is a girl in my
bed! Goldilocks opened her eyes and saw

The fox fell* into the well.
A goat came to the well, too. He looked down and saw the fox.
Hello, Mr. Fox! What are you doing in the well? he said.
Hello, Mr. Goat. I am having a good time, said the fox. The grass* in the
well is very good.
Do you eat grass? asked the goat.
No, but I like this grass, it is very good. Come down and eat it.
All right. Thank you, said the goat. And he jumped down into the well.

Tales And Stories


THE DOG AND THE CAT
(BY TUMANYAN)

(adapted)
Once the dog took a piece of
fur* and went to Master Cat who
sewed* hats.
My head feels cold, Master
Cat, said the dog. Please, take
this fur and sew a hat for me.
But do not take long to finish
it.
With great pleasure, Uncle
Dog. It is just a hat you want,
not a coat. Come and take your
hat on Friday, said Master Cat.
So the dog went to Master Cat on
Friday. But when the cat saw the dog he
got angry.* It isnt easy to sew a hat, said the cat. Your hat is not ready.
Why are you angry? said the dog. I gave you money to sew it up quickly. You
promised* to sew a hat but you didnt sew it. How many times must I come and go?
Many times the dog came to Master Cat after that. But the cat didnt give him his
hat. And they cursed* each other* every time, and they cursed each others parents. But
the cat didnt give back the hat. And one night the cat ran away.
From that day on to this very day the dog remembers* his hat and Master Cat. When
he sees the cat, he runs after him and says: Give me my hat. But the cat doesnt give him
his hat. Perhaps thats why dogs dont like cats.

KING MIDAS

Midas was a very rich king*. He had a lot of gold


but he was not happy. Every day he counted his gold.
He wanted more and more.
King Midas had a little daughter. Her name was
Marygold. He loved her very much. He wanted to
make her the richest girl in the world. But Marygold
loved the sun and flowers more than all the gold in
her fathers house.
One day a man came into the kings room. The
king looked at him and asked, Who are you?
I am Mercury*. You have got a lot of gold, king
Midas, said Mercury.
I havent got so much as I wish, said the king.
Arent you happy, king Midas? asked Mercury.
I want to have a golden touch*, said the king.
So Mercury gave the king the golden touch. The next morning, when king Midas began
to dress, his clothes became* gold. The chairs, the tables, everything he touched became
gold. The bread became gold too, and the water in his glass.
Suddenly the door opened and Marygold came in. She had nice flowers in her hand.
But they became gold too.
Arent they beautiful? asked the king.
No, no, cried Marygold, I dont like them.
Well, well, said the king, do not cry, eat your breakfast now.
Marygold saw that the king looked very unhappy and she kissed him. But when she
touched him, she became gold. She was not a little girl then. She was a golden doll.
Suddenly someone said: Are you happy now, king Midas?
The king looked up and saw Mercury.
I am the most unhappy man, he cried.
But you have the golden touch, said Mercury.
Oh, give me back my little girl, said the king, and take all the gold I have.
Well, said Mercury, I am taking the golden touch back. And Mercury did it.
King Midas kissed Marygold and went to play with her in the garden.
They were very happy.
