was a man who had ven sons, but he had no daughter, greatly

though he longed for one. At last his wife told him that they could again expect

a child and, sure enough, when it was born it was a baby girl. There was great

rejoicing, but the child was weak and puny, so weak that it had to be christened

at once. The father told one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch

christening water; the other six ran along with him, and becau each of them

wanted to be the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there

they stood and didn‘t know what to do, and none of them dared go home.

When they didn‘t come back their father got impatient and said:“ I‘ll wager

they‘ve been playing some game again and forgotten all about it, the godless

brats.“ He was afraid the little girl would have to die unbaptized, and in his rage

he cried out:“ I wish tho boys would all turn into ravens.“ He‘d scarcely

spoken the words when he heard a whirring of wings in the air overhead,

looked up and saw ven coal-black ravens flying away.

去。他们不知道该怎么办才好，都真楞楞地站在那儿，谁也不敢回家了。父亲在

家里等得不耐烦了，就一股清香 说：“我敢说这些无法无天的孩子一定是贪玩，把打水的

事给忘了。”他担心女孩子不经洗礼会死，就生气地大声喊起来：“淘气鬼，都变

成乌鸦才好呢！”这话刚出口，就听到头顶有“吧哒吧哒”鸟儿拍打翅膀的声音。他

抬头一看，只见空中有七只漆黑漆黑的乌鸦飞过去了。
