1As soon as the dwarf felt himself free he laid hold of a bag which lay amongst the roots of the tree, and which was full
2of gold, and lifted it up, grumbling to himself: 'Uncouth people, to cut off a piece of my fine beard. Bad luck to you!'
3and then he swung the bag upon his back, and went off without even once looking at the children. Some time afterwards
4Snow-white and Rose-red went to catch a dish of fish. As they came near the brook they saw something like a large
5grasshopper jumping towards the water, as if it were going to leap in. They ran to it and found it was the dwarf. 'Where
6are you going?' said Rose-red; 'you surely don't want to go into the water?' 'I am not such a fool!' cried the dwarf;
7'don't you see that the accursed fish wants to pull me in?' The little man had been sitting there fishing, and unluckily
8the wind had tangled up his beard with the fishing-line; a moment later a big fish made a bite and the feeble creature
9had not strength to pull it out; the fish kept the upper hand and pulled the dwarf towards him. He held on to all the
10reeds and rushes, but it was of little good, for he was forced to follow the movements of the fish, and was in urgent
11danger of being dragged into the water. The girls came just in time; they held him fast and tried to free his beard from
12the line, but all in vain, beard and line were entangled fast together. There was nothing to do but to bring out the
13scissors and cut the beard, whereby a small part of it was lost. When the dwarf saw that he screamed out: 'Is that
14civil, you toadstool, to disfigure a man's face? Was it not enough to clip off the end of my beard? Now you have cut off
15the best part of it. I cannot let myself be seen by my people. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your
16shoes!' Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and
17disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles
18and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath upon which huge pieces of rock lay strewn about.
19There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them; it sank lower and lower,
20and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry. They ran up and saw with
21horror that the eagle had seized their old acquaintance the dwarf, and was going to carry him off. The children, full of
22pity, at once took tight hold of the little man, and pulled against the eagle so long that at last he let his booty go.
23As soon as the dwarf had recovered from his first fright he cried with his shrill voice: 'Could you not have done it
24more carefully! You dragged at my brown coat so that it is all torn and full of holes, you clumsy creatures!' Then he
25took up a sack full of precious stones, and slipped away again under the rock into his hole. The girls, who by this time
26were used to his ingratitude, went on their way and did their business in town. As they crossed the heath again on their
27way home they surprised the dwarf, who had emptied out his bag of precious stones in a clean spot, and had not thought
28that anyone would come there so late. The evening sun shone upon the brilliant stones; they glittered and sparkled with
29all colours so beautifully that the children stood still and stared at them. 'Why do you stand gaping there?' cried the
30dwarf, and his ashen-grey face became copper-red with rage. He was still cursing when a loud growling was heard, and a
31black bear came trotting towards them out of the forest. The dwarf sprang up in a fright, but he could not reach his
32cave, for the bear was already close. Then in the dread of his heart he cried: 'Dear Mr Bear, spare me, I will give you
33all my treasures; look, the beautiful jewels lying there! Grant me my life; what do you want with such a slender little
34fellow as I? you would not feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two wicked girls, they are tender morsels for
35you, fat as young quails; for mercy's sake eat them!' The bear took no heed of his words, but gave the wicked creature a
36single blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called to them: 'Snow-white
37and Rose-red, do not be afraid; wait, I will come with you.' Then they recognized his voice and waited, and when he came
38up to them suddenly his bearskin fell off, and he stood there a handsome man, clothed all in gold. 'I am a king's son,'
39he said, 'and I was bewitched by that wicked dwarf, who had stolen my treasures; I have had to run about the forest as a
40savage bear until I was freed by his death. Now he has got his well-deserved punishment. Snow-white was married to him,
41and Rose-red to his brother, and they divided between them the great treasure which the dwarf had gathered together in
42his cave. The old mother lived peacefully and happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose-trees with
43her, and they stood before her window, and every year bore the most beautiful roses, white and red. **** The Brothers
44Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse.
45Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. Jacob was a pioneer in
46the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the
47creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best (and universally)
48known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of
49'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German
50cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration, the
51tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English
52translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' They
53have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.
