"Perhaps he has had an accident," said the king, and the following day he sent out two other huntsmen who were to search for him, but they did not return either. Then on the third day, he summoned all his huntsmen, and said, "Search through the whole forest, and do not give up until you have found all three." But none of these came home again either, nor were any of the hounds from the pack that they had taken with them ever seen again.
查看中文翻译
This lasted for many years, when an unknown huntsman presented himself to the king seeking a position, and he volunteered to go into the dangerous woods.
查看中文翻译
Once upon a time there was a king who had a great forest near his castle, full of all kinds of wild animals. One day he sent out a huntsman to shoot a deer, but the huntsman did not come back again.
查看中文翻译
The king, however, did not want to give his permission, and said, "It is haunted in there. I am afraid that you will do no better than did the others, and that you will never come out again."
查看中文翻译
From that time on, no one dared to go into these woods, and they lay there in deep quiet and solitude, and all that one saw from there was an occasional eagle or hawk flying overhead.

The huntsman answered, "Sir, I will proceed at my own risk. I know nothing of fear."
查看中文翻译
The huntsman therefore set forth with his dog into the woods. It was not long before the dog picked up a scent and wanted to follow it, but the dog had run only a few steps when it came to a deep pool, and could go no further. Then a naked arm reached out of the water, seized the dog, and pulled it under.
查看中文翻译
When the huntsman saw that, he went back and got three men. They returned with buckets and baled out the water. When they could see to the bottom, there was a wild man lying there. His body was brown like rusty iron, and his hair hung over his face down to his knees. They bound him with cords and led him away to the castle.
查看中文翻译
Everyone was greatly astonished at the wild man. The king had him put into an iron cage in his courtyard, forbidding, on pain of death, that the cage door be opened. The queen herself was to safeguard the key.
查看中文翻译
The king had a son of eight years. One day he was playing in the courtyard, and during his game his golden ball fell into the cage.
查看中文翻译
From this time forth everyone could once again go safely into the woods.

The wild man said, "Open my door," but the boy would not do so.
查看中文翻译
When the king came home he noticed the empty cage and asked the queen how it had happened. She knew nothing about it, and looked for the key, but it was gone. She called the boy, but no one answered.
查看中文翻译
"Not until you have opened the door for me," answered the man.
查看中文翻译
"No," said the boy, "I will not do that. The king has forbidden it," and he ran away.
查看中文翻译
The next day he came again and demanded his ball.
查看中文翻译
The boy became afraid. He cried out and called after him, "Oh, wild man, do not go away, or I shall get a beating."
查看中文翻译
The boy, who wanted to have his ball back, threw all caution to the wind, and got the key. The door opened with difficulty, and the boy pinched his finger. When it was open, the wild man stepped out, gave him the golden ball, and hurried away.
查看中文翻译
The boy ran to the cage and said, "Give me my ball."
查看中文翻译
On the third day the king had ridden out hunting, and the boy went once more and said, "Even if I wanted to, I could not open the door. I do not have the key."
查看中文翻译
Then the wild man said, "It is under your mother's pillow. You can get it there."
查看中文翻译
The wild man turned around, picked him up, set him on his shoulders, and ran into the woods.

After the wild man had once more reached the dark woods, he set the boy down from his shoulders, and said to him, "You will never again see your father and mother, but I will keep you with me, for you have set me free, and I have compassion for you. If you do what I tell you, it will go well with you. I have enough treasures and gold, more than anyone in the world."
查看中文翻译
The king sent out people to look for him in the field, but they did not find him. Then he could easily guess what had happened, and great sorrow ruled at the royal court.
查看中文翻译
He made a bed of moss for the boy, upon which he fell asleep. The next morning the man took him to a spring and said, "Look, this golden spring is as bright and clear as crystal. You shall sit beside it, and take care that nothing falls into it, otherwise it will be polluted. I shall come every evening to see if you have obeyed my order."
查看中文翻译
The boy sat down at the edge of the spring, and saw how sometimes a golden fish and sometimes a golden snake appeared from within, and took care that nothing fell into it. As he was thus sitting there, his finger hurt him so fiercely that he involuntarily put it into the water. He quickly pulled it out again, but saw that it was completely covered with gold.

However hard he tried to wipe the gold off again, it was to no avail.
查看中文翻译
That evening Iron Hans came back, looked at the boy, and said, "What has happened to the spring?"
查看中文翻译
"Nothing, nothing," he answered, holding his finger behind his back, so the man would not be able to see it.
查看中文翻译
Very early the next morning the boy was already sitting by the spring and keeping watch. His finger hurt him again, and he rubbed it across his head. Then unfortunately a hair fell down into the spring. He quickly pulled it out, but it was already completely covered with gold.
查看中文翻译
Iron Hans came, and already knew what had happened. "You have let a hair fall into the spring," he said. "I will overlook this once more, but if it happens a third time then the spring will be polluted, and you will no longer be able to stay with me."
查看中文翻译
On the third day the boy sat by the spring and did not move his finger, however much it hurt him. But time passed slowly for him, and he looked at the reflection of his face in the water. While doing this he bent down lower and lower, wanting to look straight into his eyes, when his long hair fell from his shoulders down into the water. He quickly straightened himself up, but all the hair on his head was already covered with gold, and glistened like the sun. You can imagine how frightened the poor boy was. He took his handkerchief and tied it around his head, so that the man would not be able to see his hair.
查看中文翻译
But the man said, "You have dipped your finger into the water. This time I will let it go, but be careful that you do not again let anything else fall in."

"You have failed the test, and you can stay here no longer. Go out into the world. There you will learn what poverty is. But because you are not bad at heart, and because I mean well by you, I will grant you one thing: If you are ever in need, go into the woods and cry out, 'Iron Hans,' and then I will come and help you. My power is great, greater than you think, and I have more than enough gold and silver."
查看中文翻译
The golden hair streamed forth, and no excuse that the boy could offer was of any use.
查看中文翻译
The people at court did not at all know how they would be able to use him, but they took a liking to him, and told him to stay. Finally the cook took him into service, saying that he could carry wood and water, and rake up the ashes.
查看中文翻译
When the man came, he already knew everything, and said, "Untie the handkerchief."
查看中文翻译
Then the prince left the woods, and walked by beaten and unbeaten paths on and on until at last he reached a great city. There he looked for work, but he was not able to find any, because he had not learned a trade by which he could make a living. Finally he went to the castle and asked if they would take him in.

"Oh, sir," he answered, "I cannot. I have an ugly scab on my head."
查看中文翻译
Once when no one else was at hand, the cook ordered him to carry the food to the royal table. Because he did not want them to see his golden hair, he kept his cap on. Nothing like this had ever before happened to the king, and he said, "When you approach the royal table you must take your hat off."
查看中文翻译
Then the king summoned the cook and scolded him, asking him how he could take such a boy into his service. The cook was to send him away at once. However, the cook had pity on him, and let him trade places with gardener's boy.
查看中文翻译
Once in summer when he was working alone in the garden, the day was so hot that he took his hat off so that the air would cool him. As the sun shone on his hair it glistened and sparkled. The rays fell into the princess's bedroom, and she jumped up to see what it was. She saw the boy and called out to him, "Boy, bring me a bouquet of flowers."
查看中文翻译
Now the boy had to plant and water the garden, hoe and dig, and put up with the wind and bad weather.

She, however, took hold of his cap and pulled it off. His golden hair rolled down onto his shoulders, and it was a magnificent sight. He wanted to run away, but she held him by his arm, and gave him a handful of ducats. He went away with them, but he did not care about the gold.
查看中文翻译
When he got into the room, the princess said, "Take your cap off. It is not polite to keep it on in my presence."
查看中文翻译
He quickly put on his cap, picked some wildflowers, and tied them together.
查看中文翻译
He again responded, "I cannot do that. I have a scabby head."
查看中文翻译
As he was climbing the steps with them, the gardener met him and said, "How can you take the princess a bouquet of such common flowers? Quick! Go and get some other ones, and choose only the most beautiful and the rarest ones."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, no," replied the boy, the wild ones have a stronger scent, and she will like them better."
查看中文翻译
The next day the princess called to him again, asking him to bring her a bouquet of wildflowers. When he went in with it, she immediately grabbed at his cap, and wanted to take it away from him, but he held it firmly with both hands. She again gave him a handful of ducats. He did not want to keep them, giving them instead to the gardener for his children to play with. On the third day it was no different. She was not able to take his cap away from him, and he did not want her gold.
查看中文翻译
He took the gold pieces to the gardener, saying, "I am giving these things to your children for them to play with."

Not long afterwards, the country was overrun by war. The king gathered together his people, not knowing whether or not fight back against the enemy, who was more powerful and had a large army.
查看中文翻译
The others laughed and said, "After we have left, then look for one by yourself. We will leave one behind for you in the stable."
查看中文翻译
Then the gardener's boy said, "I am grown up, and I want to go to war as well. Just give me a horse."
查看中文翻译
After they had left, he went into the stable, and led the horse out. It had a lame foot, and it limped higgledy-hop, higgledy-hop.
查看中文翻译
Nevertheless he mounted it, and rode away into the dark woods. When he came to the edge of the woods, he called "Iron Hans" three times so loudly that it sounded through the trees.
查看中文翻译
"That you shall have, and even more than you are asking for."
查看中文翻译
The wild man appeared immediately, and said, "What do you need?"
查看中文翻译
"I need a strong steed, for I am going to war."
查看中文翻译
Then the wild man went back into the woods, and before long a stable-boy came out of the woods leading a horse. It was snorting with its nostrils, and could hardly be restrained. Behind them followed a large army of warriors, outfitted with iron armor, and with their swords flashing in the sun.

When he approached the battlefield, a large number of the king's men had already fallen, and before long the others would have to retreat. Then the youth galloped up with his iron army and attacked the enemies like a storm, beating down all who opposed him. They tried to flee, but the youth was right behind them, and did not stop, until not a single man was left.
查看中文翻译
However, instead of returning to the king, he led his army on a roundabout way back into the woods, and then called for Iron Hans.
查看中文翻译
The youth left his three-legged horse with the stable-boy, mounted the other horse, and rode at the head of the army.
查看中文翻译
"What do you need?" asked the wild man.
查看中文翻译
"Take back your steed and your army, and give me my three-legged horse again."
查看中文翻译
It all happened just as he had requested, and he rode home on his three-legged horse.
查看中文翻译
When the king returned to his castle, his daughter went to meet him, and congratulated him for his victory.
查看中文翻译
"I am not the one who earned the victory," he said, "but a strange knight who came to my aid with his army."
查看中文翻译

The king said to his daughter, "I will proclaim a great festival. It shall last for three days, and you shall throw a golden apple. Perhaps the unknown knight will come."
查看中文翻译
The daughter wanted to hear who the strange knight was, but the king did not know, and said, "He pursued the enemy, and I did not see him again."
查看中文翻译
"To catch the princess's golden apple."
查看中文翻译
"What do you need?" he asked.
查看中文翻译
When the festival was announced, the youth went out into the woods and called Iron Hans.
查看中文翻译
"It is as good as done," said Iron Hans. "And further, you shall have a suit of red armor and ride on a spirited chestnut horse."
查看中文翻译
When the day came, the youth galloped up, took his place among the knights, and was recognized by no one. The princess came forward and threw a golden apple to the knights. He was the only one who caught it, and as soon as he had it, he galloped away.
查看中文翻译
On the second day Iron Hans had outfitted him as a white knight, and had given him a white horse. Again he was the only one who caught the apple. Without lingering an instant, he galloped away with it.

The king grew angry and said, "That is not allowed. He must appear before me and tell me his name."
查看中文翻译
On the third day, he received from Iron Hans a suit of black armor and a black horse, and he caught the apple again. But when he was galloping away with it, the king's men pursued him, and one of them got so close to him that he wounded the youth's leg with the point of his sword. In spite of this he escaped from them, but his horse jumped so violently that his helmet fell from his head, and they could see that he had golden hair. They rode back and reported everything to the king.
查看中文翻译
The next day the princess asked the gardener about his boy.
查看中文翻译
He gave the order that if the knight who caught the apple, were to go away again, they should pursue him, and if he would not come back willingly, they were to strike and stab at him.
查看中文翻译
"He is at work in the garden. The strange fellow has been at the festival too. He came home only yesterday evening. And furthermore, he showed my children three golden apples that he had won."
查看中文翻译

"Yes," he answered, "and here are the apples," taking them out of his pocket, and returning them to the king. "If you need more proof, you can see the wound that your men gave me when they were chasing me. But I am also the knight who helped you to your victory over your enemies."
查看中文翻译
The king had him summoned, and he appeared, again with his cap on his head. But the princess went up to him and took it off. His golden hair fell down over his shoulders, and he was so handsome that everyone was amazed.
查看中文翻译
"If you can perform deeds like these then you are not a gardener's boy. Tell me, who is your father?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes," he answered. "You can indeed. Give me your daughter for my wife."
查看中文翻译
"Are you the knight who came to the festival every day, each time in a different color, and who caught the three golden apples?" asked the king.
查看中文翻译
"My father is a powerful king, and I have as much gold as I might need."
查看中文翻译
"I can see," said the king, "that I owe you thanks. Can I do anything for you?"
查看中文翻译
The maiden laughed and said, "He does not care much for ceremony, but I already had seen from his golden hair that he was not a gardener's boy," and then she went and kissed him.

While they sitting at the wedding feast, the music suddenly stopped, the doors opened, and a proud king came in with a great retinue. He walked up to the youth, embraced him, and said, "I am Iron Hans. I had been transformed into a wild man by a magic spell, but you have broken the spell. All the treasures that I possess shall belong to you."
查看中文翻译
His father and mother came to the wedding, and were filled with joy, for they had given up all hope of ever seeing their dear son again.
