Once upon a time, a poor widow lived in a remote farmhouse. In front of the farmhouse is a garden. There are two roses in the garden, one is a white rose and the other is a red rose. She has two daughters, who look like two roses. One is called Bai Xue, and the other is called Hong Mei. They are kind and lively, and they are the best two children in the world. It's just that Snow White is quieter and gentler than Hongmei. Hongmei likes to jump in the fields and grass, picking flowers and catching butterflies, while Snow White always stays at home to help her mother with housework or read stories to her mother in her spare time.
They are sisters. They often go out together and always hold hands. Si Nuo always said, "We don't want to be apart." Hongmei said, "As long as we live, we will not be apart." Then the mother would add, "We share weal and woe."
They often run into the forest and pick red berries to eat. The wild animals never hurt them, but approached them kindly. Rabbits are eating cabbage leaves in their hands, deer are grazing quietly beside them, ponies are jumping around them, and birds are sitting on the trunk, singing their songs heartily.
They have never encountered any disaster. If they stay in the forest for too long, when night falls, they will both lie on the moss and snuggle together until the next morning. All these mothers know, don't worry.
Once, they spent another night in the forest, and the dawn woke them up. At this time, they found a beautiful boy sitting beside him, wearing a white dress and shining in the sun. He stood up, looked at them very kindly, and then walked into the depths of the forest without saying a word. When they turned around and looked around, they found themselves sleeping on the edge of the cliff. If they walk a few more steps in the dark, they will fall into the abyss. Later, the mother told them that it must be an angel to protect the children.
Snow White and Hongmei tidied up their mother's cabin neatly, which was really pleasing to the eye. In summer, red roses take turns to clean the house. Every morning, before her mother wakes up, she always picks some flowers from each tree, weaves them into garlands and puts them in front of her bed. In winter, the snow will make a fire and hang a kettle on the iron frame. Copper pots are always polished like gold. At night, it snows every day, and my mother always says, "Snow, go and tie the door." So three girls sat around the brazier, and mother put on glasses and read aloud with a big book. The two sisters sat spinning and listening. Not far from them lay a lamb, and a little white dove squatted on the pole behind her, with her head hidden under her wings.
One night, when they were sitting comfortably together, they heard someone knocking at the door and seemed to come in. Mother said, "Hongmei, go and open the door. She must be a passerby looking for accommodation. " Hongmei went up and opened the door bolt, thinking that the newcomer must be a poor man. But that's not a person, but a bear. It put its wide black head into the door.
Hongmei jumped back with a scream, the lamb bleated, the pigeon flapped its wings and flew, and Snow White hid behind her mother's bed. At this moment, I heard the bear say, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I'm freezing. I just want to be warm by your side. "
"Poor bear," said his mother, "lie by the fire and be careful not to burn your hair." Then she shouted, "Snow White, Hongmei, come out! Bears won't hurt you, and there is no malice. " So the two sisters came out, and the lamb and pigeon gradually came to the front, no longer afraid. The bear said, "Children, help me have a snowball fight." So they took out their brooms and swept the bear all over. The bear climbed to the fire contentedly and comfortably, humming songs from time to time. Soon, they became easy-going. They played games with the clumsy guest, pulled his hair, stepped on his back with a few feet, tossed it over and over, and even hit it with hazel sticks. If it screams, they will laugh. If they go too far, it will cry, "children, give me a break;"
Snow, red roses,
You'll kill your suitor! "
It's time for bed. Everyone else is asleep. Mother said to the bear, "You can lie by the fire. It's cold outside, so it won't freeze here. " At dawn, the sisters let the bear out, and the bear staggered through the snow into the Woods.
From then on, every night at the same time, the bear would come and lie by the fire and let the children have fun with him. Children are used to him, too. As long as black friends don't come, they won't bolt the door.
Spring has come, and the fields have turned green again. One morning, the bear said to Snow White, "I have to go now and I won't be back all summer." "Baby Bear, where are you going?" Si Nuo asked. "I must go deep into the forest to protect my treasure in case those hateful dwarfs steal it. In winter, when the earth is covered with a hard layer of ice, they have to stay underground. Now the ice and snow melt, and the warm sunshine shines on the earth. They break out of the ground and dig thieves everywhere. Once anything falls into their hands and is brought into their hole, they will never see the sun again. "
Snow White is very sad about his leaving. She opened the door for Bell. When Dambert hurried out, he bumped into the latch and pulled off a lock of hair. Snow White seems to see a golden light inside, but she is not sure at the moment. The bear soon left and disappeared into the beautiful forest.
After a while, my mother asked the two sisters to collect firewood in the forest. They found a big tree lying on the ground, and something was jumping back and forth in the grass beside the trunk, but they couldn't see what it was. When they came closer, they saw that it was a short man with a yellow face and a white beard a yard long. At the moment, his beard is stuck in a crack in the tree. This little guy is like a dog tied to a rope, jumping around at a loss.
The dwarf stared at the sisters with red eyes and kept shouting, "Why are you still standing? Won't you give me a hand? " "How did you get stuck in it, little man?" Hongmei asked. "Idiot, talkative idiot!" The dwarf scolded, "I want to chop some wood for cooking." The wood is too big, and my little meal is burnt at once. We don't eat as much as you rude and greedy guys. Originally, I had driven the wedge in, and everything went smoothly as I expected, but the damn wedge was too slippery and suddenly popped out, and the tree seam was closed immediately, but my beautiful beard could not be pulled out. Now it's stuck. I can't get away. You two stupid, glib, creamy girls are laughing. Bah, you two are really hateful! "
The girl wanted to help him pull it out, but she couldn't. The beard is stuck too tightly. "I'll get a helper," said Hongmei. "You silly girl without brains!" The dwarf growled, "What help do you want? You two are annoying enough. Don't you have any other way? " "Don't worry," said Snow White. "Let me help you." So she took out a pair of scissors from her pocket and cut off the end of her beard with one knife.
After the dwarf escaped, he grabbed the pocket hidden at the root of the tree and filled it with gold. Holding a bag in one hand, he muttered, "You rude guys cut off my beautiful beard, and you won't get a reward." Then he threw his bag over his shoulder and left without looking at them.
After a while, Snow White and Hongmei went fishing together. When they approached the stream, they suddenly saw something like a grasshopper jumping up, as if it would jump into the water at any moment. When they got closer, it turned out to be the little dwarf again. "Where are you going? Do not go into the water! " "I'm not that stupid!" Cried the dwarf, "didn't you see that damn fish trying to drag me down?" The short man has been sitting there fishing just now, but unfortunately he mixed his beard with the fishing line. After a while, the fish bit him. That short man has no hands to tie the chicken and no strength to pull the fish out. The fish gradually gained the upper hand and pulled the dwarf into the water. He had to grab a handful of straw and rushes, but what's the use? He had to jump up and down with the swimming fish, and he was in danger of being dragged into the water at any time.
The sisters came just in time. They grabbed the short man hard and helped him untie his beard from the fishing line, but the beard was too tightly entangled with the fishing line to untie it. There was nothing they could do, so they had to take out scissors and cut off their long beards with one knife. The little dwarf saw it and screamed, "How rude! You two bad girls dare to ruin my face! Isn't it enough to cut off my good beard earlier? Now that the most beautiful part has been cut off, how can I meet people? Get out of here so that you can throw away your shoes! " With that, he lifted a bag of jewels from the grass and disappeared behind the rock without saying anything.
Soon after, mother sent two sisters to town to buy needle and thread, rope and belt. They came to a wasteland along the road, which was covered with huge stones. I saw a big bird soaring in the air, slowly hovering over their heads, the bird flew lower and lower, and finally stopped on a rock not far away. Then they heard a heartbreaking scream. They went up and took a look. They were shocked. The eagle actually caught their old acquaintance, the little dwarf, and was about to take him away.
Out of natural sympathy, the children immediately caught the short man, grabbed him desperately with their paws and finally took him away. The short man was stunned. When he recovered a little, he immediately shouted hysterically, "Can't you be careful?" Look what you've done to my brown coat, you clumsy girls! "Say that finish, he carried a bag of precious stones and got into the hole under the rock. The two sisters have long been accustomed to this ungrateful behavior and hurried to the city to handle affairs.
On their way home, they passed the wasteland again, which startled the little dwarf. It turned out that he was pouring a pile of precious stones into the clearing, but he never thought that someone would come so late. The sunset glow shone on the bright gem, and the colorful spots were so rotten that the children were dumbfounded. "What are you doing standing there?" Cried the dwarf, his dead gray face turned bronze with anger. Just as he kept cursing, he heard a roar. A black bear ran out of the forest and came straight at them. The short man suddenly got a fright. Before he could escape back to the cave, the bear had arrived. I saw the dwarf pleading in horror: "Dear Mr. Xiong, please spare me!" I will give you all my treasures. Look how beautiful these diamonds are on the ground. Give me a break! You won't eat my fragile bones, will you? I don't deserve your teeth. Go get those two fucking girls. You can have a delicious meal. It must be as delicious as fat quail! Give me a break and eat them! "The bear didn't listen to him. He knocked the hateful guy to the ground and never got up again.
The two sisters ran away, but they heard the bear shout, "Snow White and Rose, don't be afraid. Wait a minute, I'll go with you. " At this moment, they both recognized the voice and stopped to wait for him. When the bear came to him, his skin suddenly fell off, only to see a handsome young man standing in front of them, covered in gold. "I am a prince," he said. "That little man stole my jewelry, enchanted me, turned me into a wild bear, and ran around in the Woods all day until he died. Now he has received the punishment he deserves. "
Snow White later married him, and Hongmei married the prince's brother, and they shared the wealth that the dwarfs collected in the cave. The old mother lived safely and happily with her children for many years. She moved the two roses to her window again, where there are beautiful white roses and red roses, which bloom every year.
Legend of White Rose 1
Legend has it that in the Garden of Eden of roses, all roses have their own meanings, except white roses. When it asked the goddess of love about her own meaning, the goddess of love said, you have to find your own meaning, and no one can help you. As soon as it touched, it was called a gust of wind to take it away, but the wind was so strong that it blew all the petals of the white rose away. The white rose released its most beautiful petals, danced in the sky, danced with the last beauty, and released waves of rose fragrance in the embrace of the wind, so that the wind could bring the last beauty to the world and give it to those who love each other forever. At that time, the petals of white roses fell in the sky and became snowflakes. Cupid saw everything. He was moved by the white rose and named it snow angels. White roses have also found their own meaning, representing pure love.
Legend of White Rose II
A Persian poet said that roses are a gift from God. Once all the plants came to ask God to appoint a new master to replace the water lily, because the water lily forgot her responsibility as a master at night. At the request of plants, God appointed the white rose with self-defense weapons as the queen of plants.
The outer petals of some white roses are pink, which is also a beautiful story in Persian legend. It is said that the nightingale fell in love with the new high queen at first sight, and hugged the beautiful high queen selflessly. The sharp thorn pierced his heart at once, and deep red blood gushed from his chest, dyeing the rose petals red, so the outer petals of the white rose still retained the pink hue.
Legend of Red Rose 1
In ancient Greece, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, fell in love with a beautiful boy, adonis. One day, adonis was bitten by a wild boar when he was out hunting. Aphrodite rushed to adonis's side when he heard the news, but he accidentally stepped on a white rose in his hurry. The thorn of the white rose stabbed the goddess' foot, and the deep red blood dripped on the soil. Later, where the goddess dropped blood, clusters of beautiful red roses grew. Originated from this ancient myth and legend, later westerners began to use red roses to symbolize love. In China, it is symbolized by red plum, wind fairy, red lotus and red peony. The use of red roses is the result of the influence of western culture in modern China.
Legend of Red Rose 2
Legend has it that a long time ago, deep in the forest, there was a lake where a fairy lived. Legend has it that people with wishes write their wishes on paper, fold them into boats and put them into the lake. If the boat can float in the middle of the lake without sinking, the fairy will realize her wish. There was a girl who always liked a boy, but one day the boy left to look for red roses. At that time, there were no red roses in the world, and the colors of flowers were monotonous white. The girl put a small paper boat with her wishes written on it into the lake. The boat drifted to the center and the fairy appeared. Give the girl a seed and tell her to irrigate with her own tears. The girl planted the seeds by the lake and watered them with tears every day. After drinking enough tears every day, the seeds thrive. Later, it found that the girl's tears were no longer salty-her eyes were blind! The girl watered the seeds with her own blood. Finally, one day, the girl fell down and the rose opened, which is the most beautiful red rose in the world. The boy also appeared. He saw the red rose, but found that the beauty of the red rose was far less important to him than that girl! But the girl will never see him and the red rose again, so the red rose represents love and sacrifice for the other half.
The Legend of Red Roses 3
Legend has it that a boy often dreams of the same scene. A girl in red gauze stood quietly by the lake. The lake is like jade, surrounded by quiet Woods and green grass. The boy tried to see the girl's face clearly, but only her back. There is her gorgeous reflection in the water, and the boy can't see it clearly. The boy feels that he is in love with the girl, and he firmly believes that there must be such a scene in reality. So he went through a hard search until he was exhausted and finally saw forests, grasslands and lakes in his dream. But after a long time, the boy was heartbroken and found that there was still no sign of the girl. A fairy was moved by his heart and told him that he could see the girl as long as he planted a red rose by the lake. At that time, there were no red roses in the world. The boy believed the fairy. So he piously found a lot of rose seeds and planted them in an open space by the lake, and watered them with water from the lake every day, hoping to bear red roses. However, it was not until the water in the lake was used up that the roses bloomed for the second time. There were white roses, yellow roses and no red roses. Seeing a small piece of unopened will dry up and die. So the boy cut his wrist and watered it with blood. Blood dripped on the ground under the rose, but the boy himself gradually lost his breath. But the boy finally met the girl. Because the girl actually had the same dream, at the last moment, the girl also came to the lake, and the blood from her fingertips entered the boy's mouth. When the boy opened his eyes, a red ball appeared in front of him. It's her, the girl of my dreams. And there are red roses around. The boy finally closed his eyes happily and peacefully. There was a girl lying next to him, and she also lost a lot of blood. So there was the first red rose in the world.
