The wise peasant daughter




ORIENTATION

There was once a poor peasant who had no land, but only a small house, and one daughter. Then said the daughter,” we ought to ask our lord the king for a bit of newly-cleared land”. When the king heard of their poverty, he presented them with a piece of land, which she and her father dug up, and intended to sow with a little corn and grain of that kind. When they had dug nearly the whole of the field, they found in the earth a mortar made of pure gold. “ Listen”, said the father to the girl,” as our lord the king has been so gracious and presented us with the field, we ought to give him this mortar in return for it”. The daughter, however, would not consent to this, and said,” father, if we have the mortar without having the pestle as well, we shall have to get the pestle, so you had much better say nothing about it”. But he would not obey her, and took the mortar and carried it to the king, said that he had found it in the cleared land, and asked if he would accept it as a present. The king took the mortar, and asked if he had found nothing besides that. No, answered the countryman.

COMPLICATION

Then the king said that he must now bring him the pestle. The peasant said they had not found that, but he might just as well have spoken to the wind, he was put in prison, and was to stay there until he produced the pestle. The servants had daily to carry him bread and water, which is what people get in prison, and they heard how the man cried out continually,” ah, if I had but listened to my daughter. Alas, alas, if I had but listened to my daughter, and would neither eat nor drink”. So he commanded the servants to bring the prisoner before him, and then the king asked the peasant why he was always crying, ah, if I had but listened to my daughter, and what it was that his daughter had said. “ She told me that I ought not to take the mortar to you, for I should have to produce the pestle as well. If you have a daughter who is as wise as that, let her come here.” She was therefore obliged to appear before the king, who asked her if she really was so wise, and said he would set her a riddle, and if she could guess that, he would marry her. She at once said yes, she would guess it. Then said the king, come to me not clothed, not naked, not riding, not walking, not in the road, and not off the road, and if you can do that I will marry you.

RESOLUTION

So she went away, put off everything she had on, and then she was not clothed, and took a great fishing net, and seated herself in it and wrapped it entirely round and round her, so that she was not naked, and she hired an ass, and tied the fisherman’s net to its tail, so that it was forced to drag her along, and that was neither riding nor walking. The ass had also to drag her in the ruts, so that she only touched the ground with her big toe, and that was neither being in the road nor off the road. And when she arrived in that fashion, the king said she had guessed the riddle and fulfilled all the conditions.Then he ordered her father to be released from the prison, took her to wife, and gave into her care all the royal possessions.

Orang bijak petani putri ORIENTASI Ada seorang petani miskin yang tidak memiliki tanah, tetapi hanya sebuah rumah kecil, dan satu putri. Lalu kata putri, "kita harus meminta Tuhan kami raja untuk sedikit tanah baru dibersihkan". Ketika raja mendengar kemiskinan mereka, ia disajikan dengan sebidang tanah, yang ia dan ayahnya digali, dan dimaksudkan untuk menabur dengan jagung kecil dan biji-bijian seperti itu. Ketika mereka telah menggali hampir seluruh lapangan, mereka ditemukan di bumi mortar yang terbuat dari emas murni. "Dengar," kata ayah gadis itu, "sebagai tuan kami raja telah begitu murah hati dan disajikan kita dengan lapangan, kami harus memberinya mortar ini sebagai imbalan untuk itu". Putri, bagaimanapun, tidak akan menyetujui ini, dan berkata, "Ayah, jika kita memiliki mortar tanpa alu juga, kita harus mendapatkan alu, sehingga Anda telah jauh lebih baik mengatakan apa-apa tentang hal itu". Tapi dia tidak mendengarkan, dan mengambil lesung dan membawanya kepada raja, mengatakan bahwa ia telah menemukan itu di tanah dibersihkan, dan bertanya apakah ia akan menerimanya sebagai hadiah. Raja mengambil mortir, dan bertanya apakah ia telah menemukan apa-apa selain itu. Tidak, jawab senegaranya. KOMPLIKASI Kemudian raja berkata bahwa ia sekarang harus membawanya alu. Petani mengatakan mereka tidak menemukan itu, tapi ia mungkin hanya juga telah berbicara kepada angin, ia dimasukkan ke dalam penjara, dan tinggal di sana sampai ia menghasilkan alu. Para pelayan harus setiap hari untuk membawanya roti dan air, yang adalah apa yang orang masuk penjara, dan mereka mendengar bagaimana orang itu berteriak terus menerus, "ah, jika aku punya tapi mendengarkan anak saya. Alas, sayangnya, jika saya punya tapi mendengarkan anak saya, dan tidak akan makan atau minum ". Jadi ia memerintahkan hamba untuk membawa tahanan di depannya, dan kemudian raja bertanya petani mengapa ia selalu menangis, ah, jika aku punya tapi mendengarkan anak saya, dan apa itu bahwa putrinya telah mengatakan. "Dia mengatakan kepada saya bahwa saya tidak seharusnya mengambil mortar untuk Anda, karena aku harus menghasilkan alu juga. Jika Anda memiliki seorang putri yang sebijaksana itu, biarkan dia datang ke sini. "Dia karena itu berkewajiban untuk tampil di hadapan raja, yang bertanya apakah dia benar-benar sangat bijaksana, dan mengatakan ia akan menetapkan dia teka-teki, dan jika dia bisa menebak bahwa ia akan menikahinya. Dia sekaligus mengatakan ya, dia akan menebak itu. Lalu kata raja, datang ke saya tidak berpakaian, tidak telanjang, tidak naik, tidak berjalan, tidak di jalan, dan tidak dari jalan, dan jika Anda dapat melakukan itu saya akan menikah. PEMECAHAN Jadi dia pergi, menunda semua yang ia miliki, dan kemudian dia tidak berpakaian, dan mengambil jaring ikan yang besar, dan duduk sendiri di dalamnya dan dibungkus seluruhnya berputar-putar dia, sehingga dia tidak telanjang, dan ia menyewa keledai, dan diikat nelayan bersih ekornya, sehingga terpaksa menyeretnya bersama, dan itu tidak naik atau berjalan kaki. Pantat juga telah menyeretnya dalam bekas roda, sehingga ia hanya menyentuh tanah dengan jempol kaki, dan itu tidak makhluk di jalan atau dari jalan. Dan ketika ia tiba di mode itu, raja mengatakan ia menduga teka-teki dan memenuhi semua conditions.Then ia memerintahkan ayahnya akan dibebaskan dari penjara, membawanya ke istri, dan memberikan ke perawatan semua harta kerajaan nya.
