安徒生童话：沙冈那边的一段故事

　　And therefore， said the eel-breeder in conclusion， it is always the proper thing to drink brandy after eating eels.

　　This story was the tinsel thread， the most humorous recollection of Jorgens life. He also wanted to go a little way farther out and up the baythat is to say， out into the world in a shipbut his mother said， like the eel-breeder， There are so many bad peopleeel spearers！ He wished to go a little way past the sand-hills， out into the dunes， and at last he did： four happy days， the brightest of his childhood， fell to his lot， and the whole beauty and splendour of Jutland， all the happiness and sunshine of his home， were concentrated in these. He went to a festival， but it was a burial feast.

　　A rich relation of the fishermans family had died； the farm was situated far eastward in the country and a little towards the north. Jorgens foster parents went there， and he also went with them from the dunes， over heath and moor， where the Skjarumaa takes its course through green meadows and contains many eels； mother eels live there with their daughters， who are caught and eaten up by wicked people. But do not men sometimes act quite as cruelly towards their own fellow-men？ Was not the knight Sir Bugge murdered by wicked people？ And though he was well spoken of， did he not also wish to kill the architect who built the castle for him， with its thick walls and tower， at the point where the Skjarumaa falls into the bay？ Jorgen and his parents now stood there； the wall and the ramparts still remained， and red crumbling fragments lay scattered around. Here it was that Sir Bugge， after the architect had left him， said to one of his men， Go after him and say， Master， the tower shakes. If he turns round， kill him and take away the money I paid him， but if he does not turn round let him go in peace. The man did as he was told； the architect did not turn round， but called back The tower does not shake in the least， but one day a man will come from the west in a blue cloakhe will cause it to shake！ And so indeed it happened a hundred years later， for the North Sea broke in and cast down the tower； but Predbjorn Gyldenstjerne， the man who then possessed the castle， built a new castle higher up at the end of the meadow， and that one is standing to this day， and is called Norre-Vosborg.
