海尔·柯贝斯的故事
从前，有只公鸡准备和一只母鸡一起出门旅行。公鸡做了一辆漂亮的车，装上四只红色的轮子，然后套上四只小老鼠拉车。母鸡和公鸡坐上车出发了，不久，它们遇到一只猫，猫问它们：“你们上哪儿?”公鸡回答说：“去海尔家。”“带上我吧。”猫说。公鸡说：“十分愿意。从后面上来吧，可别摔下来，小心别弄脏了小红轮子。小小车轮快快跑，小老鼠儿吱吱叫，我们朝前奔，快到海尔家。”
随后又来了磨盘、一个鸡蛋、一只鸭子、一个发夹，最后来的是一根缝衣针，它们全挤到车上，一起朝海尔家赶去。
它们到时海尔不在家。于是小老鼠将车拖进牲口棚。母鸡和公鸡飞到一根横杆上歇着了，猫咪蹲伏在灶膛边，鸭子蹲到了井台边，鸡蛋用毛巾把自己裹了起来，发夹一头扎进座垫上，缝衣针则跳到床上，藏到了枕头中央，磨盘也爬到门顶上。海尔回到家中，走到灶膛边准备生火。蹲在那里的猫撒了他一脸炉灰;他急忙跑到厨房去洗脸，鸭子又泼了他一脸水;他想用毛巾把水擦干，鸡蛋又滚出来破了，把他的眼睛给粘上了;他想休息一下，于是往坐椅上一坐，发夹扎得他弹了起来;他勃然大怒，一头倒到床上，可是头一碰枕头，缝衣针便把他扎得“嗷嗷”乱叫着往外冲;当他走到门口时，磨盘从门上落了下来，一下把他砸死了。看来海尔·柯贝斯准是个大坏蛋!
海尔·柯贝斯的故事点评
我们都知道善有善报，恶有恶报。对于邪恶势力，我们一定要勇于的向他们做斗争，绝对不能畏缩，因为一旦你退缩，那么他们便会更加嚣张。同时我们要记住，团结的力量是无穷的，只有团结才能更好的打败邪恶，战胜困难!

Herr Korbes
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Once upon a time there were a rooster and a hen who wanted to take a journey together. So the rooster built a handsome carriage with four red wheels, and hitched1 four mice to it. The hen climbed aboard with the rooster, and they drove away together.
Not long afterward2 they met a cat, who said, "Where are you going?"
The rooster answered, "We're on our way to Herr Korbes's house."
"Take me with you," said the cat.
The rooster answered, "Gladly. Climb on behind, so you won't fall off the front. Be careful not to get my red wheels dirty. Roll, wheels. Whistle, mice. We're on our way to Herr Korbes's house."
Then a millstone came along, then an egg, then a duck, then a pin, and finally a needle. They all climbed aboard the carriage and rode with them.
But when they arrived at Herr Korbes's house, he was not there. The mice pulled the carriage into the barn. The hen and the rooster flew onto a pole. The cat sat down in the fireplace3 and the duck in the water bucket. The egg rolled itself up in a towel. The pin stuck itself into a chair cushion. The needle jumped onto the bed in the middle of the pillow. The millstone lay down above the door.
Then Herr Korbes came home. He went to the fireplace, wanting to make a fire, and the cat threw ashes into his face. He ran quickly into the kitchen to wash himself, and the duck splashed4 water into his face. He wanted to dry himself off with the towel, but the egg rolled against him, broke, and glued his eyes shut. Wanting to rest, he sat down in the chair, and the pin pricked5 him. He fell into a rage and threw himself onto his bed, but when he laid his head on the pillow, the needle pricked him, causing him to scream and run out of the house. As he ran through the front door the millstone jumped down and struck him dead.

雅各·格林和威廉·格林兄弟是德国童话搜集家、语言文化研究者。因两人兴趣相近，经历相似，合作研究语言学、搜集和整理民间童话与传说，故称“格林兄弟”。他们生于哈垴一个多子女的法学家家庭，同在卡塞尔上学，同在马尔堡学习法律，后又同在卡塞尔图书馆工作，1830年同时担任格廷根大学教授。1837年因抗议汉诺威国王任意破坏宪法，同其他五位教授一起被免去教授职务。1840年任柏林科学院院士、柏林大学教授，直至他们去世。格林兄弟兴趣广泛，涉猎范围很广。1812年到1815年，他们搜集整理的《儿童与家庭童话集》出版。该书奠定了民间童话中引人入胜的“格林体”叙述方式，对19世纪以来的世界儿童文学产生了深远的影响。
