Today I am telling you the story of a foreign fox. This "fox" comes from Grimm's Fairy Tales, and you can call her "Clever Gretel" or "Cunning Gretel." I don't think Gretel would mind what people call her.
Clever or cunning
Once upon a time there was a kitchen lady named Gretel, who liked to wear red high heels. She often looked in the mirror to admire her beauty
At the same time, he is very confident in his cooking skills. Every time I make a meal, I will eat it myself. And good to drink a little wine.
One day, the host was going to have a feast at home with friends and asked Gretel to prepare two roast chickens. In the evening, Gretel put two chickens on the fire and roasted them, watching the color of the chickens gradually turn brownish red, but the guests had not yet arrived. Gretel said to the host, "If the guests don't come, I'll put the chicken off the fire first, now is the time when the chicken is the most delicious, it's a pity not to take advantage of this time to eat!" The host said, "I'll go and pick up the guests."
After the master left, Gretel felt hot and thirsty sitting by the fire, and he did not know when the master would return, so he simply went to the cellar to drink some bar. She ran to the cellar, drank happily, and returned to the fire. Grease the chicken with oil and seasoning and continue baking. Grete turned the iron skewer in his hand, and the smell of chicken came to his nose, so Gretel said to himself, "Maybe there are shortcomings, you should taste the taste first." She dipped her fingers in a little and said, "What a delicious roast chicken, it's a sin not to eat it now", she ran to the window to see if the host had picked up the guests and returned, but she didn't see any figures.
Gretel returned to the roast chicken, staring at the roast chicken with both eyes, and said to himself, "One wing is burnt, so I'll take it down and eat it." She cut off the chicken wings, ate them, and thought they tasted beautiful.
After eating one of the chicken wings, Gretel thought, "The other one should also be cut off, or the owner will find something missing." After the two chicken wings were finished, Gretel went to the window again to see if the owner had returned, or still did not see it. Gretel suddenly thought, "God knows? They may not have intended to come at all, or they may have gone somewhere else to eat."
She said to herself, "Gretel, you've already eaten the roast chicken anyway, so why not take another sip and eat the whole chicken?" Only after eating will you be at ease. Why waste God's gifts in vain! ”。
Then she went to the cellar and took a pot of wine, drank it, and ate a chicken in pain. By this time, the owner had not returned, and Gretel's eyes began to focus on another chicken. He said to himself, "Where is one chicken, the other chicken should be there, the two should be together, and since you have eaten one, there is nothing wrong with eating another one." I think it wouldn't hurt me to take another big sip." He finished another glass of wine and let the other chicken follow the first.
Just as Gretel was eating happily, the host returned and shouted at her, "Quick, the guest will arrive later." ”
"Okay, sir, I'll bring it here." Gretel replied.
The host took a large dinner knife from the kitchen and prepared to grind it, and it would be good to cut the chicken for the guests.
Soon the guests came and very politely knocked softly on the door.
Gretel ran to open the door, and when she saw that the guest had arrived, she hurriedly put her index finger on her mouth to signal him not to make a sound, and whispered, "Shhh! Hush! Run, if my master catches you, you're out of luck. He is ostensibly inviting you to dinner, but his real purpose is to cut off both of your ears. Listen, he's sharpening his knife! ”。
The guest did hear the sharpening of the knife, turned and ran.
Gretel was not idle, and after closing the door, she shouted at the host: "Your guest is so nice!" ”。
Why? What do you mean? The master asked doubtfully.
"I was about to serve roast chicken, and he grabbed it and ran!" Gretel replied.
After the owner listened, he felt sorry for the two chickens.
"If you keep one, I'll have to eat it." So he chased him out and shouted, "Leave one, just one!" ”
This means asking guests to leave one roast chicken and not take both.
But the guest thought he was leaving one ear, so he ran home even harder to bring both ears home.
