100个儿童英语故事阅读：跛子汉斯

What did the book say? Hans read a story to his parents loudly. One woodcutter couple always complained that their unhappiness began because of Adam and Eve. At that time, a King was riding a horse and heard them and said, Come to my palace with me. You can live as luxuriously as I can. You have seven kinds of wonderful dishes and deserts at every meal.

Never touch the plate covered with a lid in the middle of the table. As soon as you touch the plate, your peaceful and luxurious life will be over. The woodcutter couple lived luxuriously after that, but soon they became curious what was on the plate under the lid. After a while, they uncovered the lid of the plate.

Thats it. Now go back where you came from. Do not blame Adam and Eve any more. You have the same amount of curiosity as they did, and besides you cannot appreciate Gods grace and gifts. Hans parents were surprised by the story about the woodcutter couple, and they told Hans to read the same story every night.

One night, Hans read his parents a story about a man who does not know both sadness and dissatisfaction. A long time ago, a King became ill, and there was only one cure the underwear of a man who never knew both sadness and dissatisfaction. His subjects visited every king and nobleman of the world searching for the cure, but they could not find it.

One day, a swineherd was sitting next to a ditch said, I dont know anything about sadness and dissatisfaction. I have always have been living my life happily. Give me your underwear. We will give you half of our kingdom in exchange for that. Even though the subjects tried to persuade him, the swineherd did not have underwear to give to the subject of the King. Hans parents laughed loudly as if they had not laughed for a long time.
