,这果然就是她的新郎,就对他说:“快醒醒,我的夫君,快醒醒。我长途跋涉到了这里,已经踏破了七双铁鞋,穿破了七件铁衣,戴破了七顶铁帽,我还装满了七瓶眼泪。现在我总算找到你了,你却睡着听不到我说的话!”
姑娘就这样哭诉着一直到天亮。早晨,她绝望地砸着核桃。从里面掉出一大堆漂亮的衣服和各式各样的绫罗绸缎,一件比一件漂亮。女仆看到这些奇丽的东西,就跑去告诉公主,而公主自然又留下了所有这些东西,就答应她再跟小伙子待一晚,但她让姑娘进去的晚,出来的早,这样就缩短了时间。
这一晚同样一无所获,小伙子一直没醒过来。可怜的姑娘又砸开那颗榛子,从里面跳出来一些马车和数匹骏马。为了得到这些东西,公主又一次答应她跟小伙子过夜。
但这一次,小伙子不想再喝她们每天晚上带来的那杯东西,只是假装喝下去,实际上把它们倒在了地上。姑娘说话的时候,他先假装睡了一会,当他确定她就是自己的妻子时,他马上跳起来,抱住了姑娘。他们坐着变出来的那些马车出发了,回到家后,举行了盛大的宴会。
他们的生活奢侈又冷酷
却将我留在门背后。
