About the story

   The oldest extant version of the fable we are presenting here appeared in 1913 in the first volume of a two-volume anthology of Low Saxon folktales (Plattdeutsche Volksmärchen “Low German Folktales”) collected by Wilhelm Wisser (1843–1935). Read more ...

鹪鹩

Portrait of Kevin Tang鹪鹩嘅巢不嬲都係喺车房入面。有一日,鹪鹩爸爸同鹪鹩妈妈都飞出去搵嘢食俾佢哋嘅仔女食,将仔女佢哋留喺个巢嗰度。

过咗一阵之后,爸爸返嚟喇。

佢讲:「你哋做咩呀?阿仔阿女,边个整亲你哋呀?你哋做咩吓成咁样嘅!」

啲仔女就讲:「唉呀,爸爸!啱啱嚟咗只大怪兽。个样又恶又得人惊!佢用一对好大嘅眼瞪住我哋个巢,吓死我哋喇﹗」

爸爸就话:「噢﹗敢佢去咗边呀﹖」

啲仔女就话:「呀,佢向呢个方向走咗。」

爸爸就讲:「哈!我要去追佢。好喇,唔好担心喇,阿仔阿女!我一定会捉到佢。」

於是鹪鹩爸爸就去追呢只『大怪兽』。

佢飞咗一阵之后,佢见到一只狮子喺路上面行紧。

但係鹪鹩唔惊。佢落喺狮子嘅背脊上面开始闹。佢讲:「你点解嚟我屋企吓亲我啲仔女呀?」

狮子唔理佢继续走。

令讲嘢大声嘅佢更加恶噉闹,佢话:「我话比你听呀…你冇权嚟我屋企。同埋,你如果再嚟…唔…虽然我不想噉做…」佢举起一只脚讲:「我会一脚踩断你嘅背脊!」

然后鹪鹩爸爸就飞返巢嗰处。

佢话:「阿仔阿女,我已经俾咗呢个嘢一个教训。佢不会再嚟o喇!」
