Fairy tale - a magic lullaby that sangevery child before bed. And the most prominent authors - masters in this field - were the Brothers Grimm. They gave rise to wonderful stories about Cinderella, King Thrush and Sleeping Beauty. Also, the Grimm brothers - those who wrote "Clever Peasant Daughter", "Little-finger-boy", "Little Red Riding Hood" and so on.
Today it is difficult to meet a person who would notwas familiar with the work of these two linguists, folklorists and researchers of German literature. But it was the stories that Jacob and Wilhelm collected that became world heritage. Their tales of Snow White, Cinderella and Bremen musicians were filmed many times. Also, the Brothers Grimm are those who wrote The Clever Peasant Daughter - a fairy tale that amazes with its wisdom and simplicity.
Братья Гримм родились 4 января в 1786 году в the city of Hanau. For a very long time they lived in the city of Igra. In very narrow circles of scholars, the brothers are known as researchers of German folk culture and the creators of the first German dictionary. Until now, their work is valuable for science. At first they were going to learn to be lawyers, but later they got carried away with popular wisdom. So, they traveled around the country and carefully collected all the stories, legends and myths. Together with Karl Lachmann and Georg Beneke, the brothers are considered to be the founders of German philology and Germanism. It is very important that the main goal of their work was to preserve the original story exactly as the people knew it.
Such is the fairy tale "Clever Peasant Daughter". The Brothers Grimm noted that the idea of this work, like many others, is found in different nations of the world.
It is not known exactly who and in what year told the writers about the wise and poor girl. But for the first time the fiction appeared in the second volume of The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, published in 1815.
From such a gift began the legend "Smart daughterpeasant ". The author, or rather, the authors, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, further say that the small family worked hard on the ground. Once they plowed and found a golden mortar. The man decided to give it to the king as a sign of gratitude for putting it on. But my daughter did not like this idea. She said the king would accuse them of conferring a pestle. This is what happened.
The king did not believe the peasant and put him inthe prison. The poor father always regretted not listening to a reasonable daughter. The king learned about this and summoned the peasant to himself. He told everything as it was. To make sure that the girl is really so smart, the nobleman gave her difficult tasks. It is in this scene that the cunningness of the heroine first manifested itself, which the author of the fairy tale "Peasant Daughter Clever" put into her. The girl did not come and did not come, not naked and not dressed. The maiden did everything right, and the king, who had earlier promised to marry her if she could cope with the task, married her.
Как-то к королеве обратился крестьянин, который heard of her wisdom. He told how dishonest the king was with him. Her husband unfairly decided a dispute between people on the street. The girl gave good advice to the offended person, but with the condition that he should in no case tell who gave him the instructions.
The argument was that the foal, whichhe belonged to an honest peasant, the king gave the other man only because he was closer to him. Thus, it turned out that the foal was born from oxen.
The one who wrote "Smart Peasant Daughter",practically repeated the judgment that wise Solomon ruled in his time. But in the fairy tale events took another turn. So, on the advice of the girl, the poor man spread his nets on the road and pretended to fish. When the king asked how it was possible to fish on land, the man said: “It’s as easy as foal born to oxen”.
Король сразу понял, что в дело вмешалась его wise wife He tortured a peasant until he confessed. Then the ruler told his beloved that he could no longer trust her and did not want to see her next to him. It could be the final. But the one who wrote The Clever Peasant Daughter decided to complete the story happily.
The sly woman seemed to submit to his will andasked to spend the last night in the castle. The king agreed, and at parting he allowed her to take whatever she wished. She poured a sleep potion into his drink and, when her husband fell asleep, wrapped him in a sheet and took him out of the palace. The king awoke in her poor hut. The tale "Clever Peasant Daughter" ended with the girl explaining that she had taken from the castle what was sweetest of all to her. And her own husband is the sweetest of all.
Often there is a story about a wise girl intales of other nations of the world. There is such a story in the Slavic lands. The motive is the same. Poor parents have a wise daughter who helps them out of trouble and defeats an arrogant ruler who loves to have fun with puzzles.
Still, for example, a Slav woman resolves the same dispute.between peasants, but in a different way. The girl gives the foal to whom he will follow, that is, for the oxen or for the horses. For such audacity, the pan drove her out of the house, but allowed her to take anything with him. She, like her distant relative, gave the man some sleeping pills and took them with her. In the Slavic version there are other details of the dispute between the lord and the beggar.
Mention of a smart beauty is not only among the Slavs. Such a character is present in the tales of Asia.
