In the meantime the youngest huntsman was wandering about the three chambers in great trouble, fully expecting to have to end his days there, when he saw, hanging on the wall, a flute; then said he, "Why dost thou hang there, no one can be merry here?" He looked at the dragons, heads likewise and said, "You too cannot help me now." He walked backwards and forwards for such a long time that he made the surface of the ground quite smooth. But at last other thoughts came to his mind, and he took the flute from the wall, and played a few notes on it, and suddenly a number of elves appeared, and with every note that he sounded one more came. Then he played until the room was entirely filled. They all asked what he desired, so he said he wished to get above ground back to daylight, on which they seized him by every hair that grew on his head, and thus they flew with him onto the earth again. When he was above ground, he at once went to the King's palace, just as the wedding of one princess was about to be celebrated, and he went to the room where the King and his three daughters were. When the princesses saw him they fainted. Hereupon the King was angry, and ordered him to be put in prison at once, because he thought he must have done some injury to the children. When the princesses came to themselves, however, they entreated the King to set him free again. The King asked why, and they said that they were not allowed to tell that, but their father said that they were to tell it to the stove. And he went out, listened at the door, and heard everything. Then he caused the two brothers to be hanged on the gallows, and to the third he gave his youngest daughter, and on that occasion I wore a pair of glass shoes, and I struck them against a stone, and they said, "Klink," and were broken.
从前有个富有的国王,他有三个女儿,她们每天到王宫花园里去散步,国王非常喜欢所有漂亮的树,尤其喜欢一棵苹果树,如果有人从树上摘下一个苹果,他会诅咒他下十八层地狱。每当丰收时,这棵树上的苹果鲜红如血。三个女儿天天到树下查看是否风会将苹果刮下来,可是从来没有发现一个,树上挂满的苹果几乎将树给压断了,树枝已垂到了地面。国王的小女儿十分想得到一个苹果,她对姐姐们说:"我们的父亲非常爱我们,他不会诅咒我们下地狱,我相信他只是对陌生人才这样。"一边说着,她一边摘了一个大苹果跑向姐姐们,说道:"尝尝吧,我亲爱的小姐姐们,我生来就没尝过这么好吃的东西。"她的两个姐姐也吃了几口苹果,就在这时,她们三个全都陷到了深深的地底下,在那儿她们再也听不到公鸡打鸣了。
中午,国王想叫她们回来吃饭,可哪儿也找不到她们。他找遍了王宫和花园,可还是找不到她们。他感到麻烦大了,于是告之全国,谁能将他的女儿们找回来,谁就可以娶她们其中的一个为妻。她们为人和善,美丽大方,因此得到大家的喜爱,便有许许多多,数也数不清的年青人走遍全国去寻找。有三个年轻的猎人也出去寻找,当他们走到第八天时,到了一座大城堡,发现里面有漂亮的住房,在一间房子里有一张桌子,上面摆着精美的菜肴,菜肴还冒着热气,可是整个城堡里看不到一个人也没有任何人的动静。他们在那里等了半天的时间,食物还是热气腾腾的,最后他们实在饿了,就坐下吃饭,大家商定准备住在城堡里,但是要抽签选出一人守在屋子里,其他两人出去寻找国王的女儿。他们开始抽签,结果是老大中签。第二天两个弟弟出去寻找,老大守在屋里。中午时分,来了一个很小很小的矮人要讨一片面包,猎人找到一条面包,切下一片准备给他,可小矮人没有接,面包掉到了地上,小矮人请求猎人将那片面包拣起来再给他,当猎人弯腰准备这么做的时候,小矮人拿起一根棍子,揪住他的头发,狠狠地揍了他一顿。次日,老二守在屋里,结果他的遭遇也是如此。晚上,其他二人回来,老大问道老二:"今儿你怎样?"
