　　引導語：對於聰明的人，大家都喜歡，下面是小編收集的一篇有關智慧的《聰明的格蕾特》格林童話故事，歡迎大家閱讀!

　　從前有個名叫格蕾特的廚娘，她有一雙紅跟鞋。每當她穿著這雙鞋子外出的時候，總是左邊右邊來回轉，心裡讚美著自己："你真是個挺漂亮的姑娘呢!"回到家，她總要高興地喝上一口酒，而酒又能開胃，所以無論自己做的什麼菜她都覺得味道極好，直到吃得飽飽的才罷休，並且說："廚娘一定得知道飯菜的味道如何。"

　　有一次，主人對她說："格蕾特，今晚我有個朋友要來，準備兩隻燒雞，味道一定要好。""我會把這事兒辦好的。"格蕾特回答道。她殺了兩隻雞，用開水燙過，拔了毛之後又把它們用鐵釺插上。傍晚時分，她將雞放到火上去烤，雞漸漸變成棕色，差不多快烤好了，可客人還沒有到。格蕾特對主人喊道："如果客人還不來，我只好把雞從火上挪開了。但是現在是雞味道最好的時候，不趁這會兒吃簡直太可惜了。"主人說："我這就去把客人接來。"說完轉身走了。格蕾特把插著雞的鐵釺放在一邊，想："老待在火邊讓人又渴又熱。誰知道他們什麼時候才來，還是先到地窖裡去拿杯喝的'吧。"於是，她跑到地窖，端著個大酒壺，說了句"上帝保佑你，格蕾特。"就喝了一大口酒。可她覺得酒應該源源不斷地喝才是，於是又痛痛快快喝了一大口。

　　接著她回到火邊，在雞上抹黃油，繼續烤，並快樂地轉動著手裡的鐵釺。雞的香氣實在太誘人了，於是格蕾特對自己說："也許缺了點什麼，該嚐嚐味道才是。"她用手指蘸著嚐了一點，說："多好的烤雞呀!現在不吃真是罪過。"於是她跑到視窗，看看主人有沒有帶著客人來，她沒見任何人影，於是，又回到烤雞邊，想："一隻雞翅都烤焦了，我還是把它揪下來吃了的好。"她切下雞翅，吃了，覺得味道好極了。吃完後，她想："另一隻也應該切下來，要不然主人會發現少了東西。"吃完兩隻翅膀，她又到視窗看主人來了沒有，還是沒看到。格蕾特猛然想到："天知道?他們或許根本不打算來了，也許到別處去了。"她自言自語地說，"格蕾特，反正烤雞已經被你吃過了，不如痛痛快快地再喝上一口，然後把整隻雞都吃掉。只有吃完你才會安心。何必白白浪費上帝的恩賜呢!"所以她又跑到地窖痛痛快快地喝了一氣，然後快快活活地把整隻雞都吃掉了。這時主人還是沒回來，格蕾特的眼睛盯上了另一隻雞，說："一隻雞在哪兒，另一隻也該在那兒，兩個應該在一起嘛!既然吃了一隻，再吃一隻也沒什麼錯。我想再來一大口酒對我沒什麼壞處。"便又喝完一杯酒，然後讓另一隻雞也跟著第一隻去了。

　　正當格蕾特吃得高興的時候，主人回來了，衝她喊道："快，客人隨後就到了。""好的，先生，我這就端上來。"格蕾特回答說。這時主人進來看桌子有沒有擺好，而且拿了一把大餐刀來，在樓梯上磨了磨，打算切雞。不久，客人來了，很有禮貌地輕輕敲了敲門。格蕾特跑去看是誰，一看是客人，趕忙將食指豎在嘴上示意他不要出聲，悄聲說："噓!噓!快跑吧，如果讓我主人抓住你就倒黴了。他是邀你來吃晚飯，可他真實的目的是要切下你的兩隻耳朵。你聽，他正在使勁磨刀呢!"客人確實聽到了磨刀聲，趕忙朝樓下跑。格蕾特也不閒著，衝著主人大叫："你請的客人太好了!""為什麼這麼說?什麼意思?""我正端著烤雞要上桌，他搶了就跑!""真是高招!"她主人說，心裡為兩隻雞感到挺可惜。"留下一隻也行啊，我也就有得吃了。"於是他追出來，喊："留下一隻，就一隻!"意思是說讓客人留下一隻烤雞，別兩隻都拿走。可客人聽了以為是讓他留下一隻耳朵，於是更加拼命地往家跑，好將兩隻耳朵帶回家。

　　Clever Grethel

　　There was once a cook named Grethel, who wore shoes with red rosettes, and when she walked out with them on, she turned herself this way and that, and thought, "You certainly are a pretty girl!" And when she came home she drank, in her gladness of heart, a draught of wine, and as wine excites a desire to eat, she tasted the best of whatever she was cooking until she was satisfied, and said, "The cook must know what the food is like."

　　It came to pass that the master one day said to her, "Grethel, there is a guest coming this evening; prepare me two fowls very daintily." - "I will see to it, master," answered Grethel. She killed two fowls, scalded them, plucked them, put them on the spit, and towards evening set them before the fire, that they might roast. The fowls began to turn brown, and were nearly ready, but the guest had not yet arrived. Then Grethel called out to her master, "If the guest does not come, I must take the fowls away from the fire, but it will be a sin and a shame if they are not eaten directly, when they are juiciest." The master said, "I will run myself, and fetch the guest." When the master had turned his back, Grethel laid the spit with the fowls on one side, and thought, "Standing so long by the fire there, makes one hot and thirsty; who knows when they will come? Meanwhile, I will run into the cellar, and take a drink." She ran down, set a jug, said, "God bless it to thy use, Grethel," and took a good drink, and took yet another hearty draught.

　　Then she went and put the fowls down again to the fire, basted them, and drove the spit merrily round. But as the roast meat smelt so good, Grethel thought, "Something might be wrong, it ought to be tasted!" She touched it with her finger, and said, "Ah! how good fowls are! It certainly is a sin and a shame that they are not eaten directly!" She ran to the window, to see if the master was not coming with his guest, but she saw no one, and went back to the fowls and thought, "One of the wings is burning! I had better take it off and eat it." So she cut it off, ate it, and enjoyed it, and when she had done, she thought, "the other must go down too, or else master will observe that something is missing." When the two wings were eaten, she went and looked for her master, and did not see him. It suddenly occurred to her, "Who knows? They are perhaps not coming at all, and have turned in somewhere." Then she said, "Hallo, Grethel, enjoy yourself, one fowl has been cut into, take another drink, and eat it up entirely; when it is eaten you will have some peace, why should God's good gifts be spoilt?" So she ran into the cellar again, took an enormous drink and ate up the one chicken in great glee. When one of the chickens was swallowed down, and still her master did not come, Grethel looked at the other and said, "Where one is, the other should be likewise, the two go together; what's right for the one is right for the other; I think if I were to take another draught it would do me no harm." So she took another hearty drink, and let the second chicken rejoin the first.

　　While she was just in the best of the eating, her master came and cried, hurry up, "Haste thee, Grethel, the guest is coming directly after me!" - "Yes, sir, I will soon serve up," answered Grethel. Meantime the master looked to see that the table was properly laid, and took the great knife, wherewith he was going to carve the chickens, and sharpened it on the steps. Presently the guest came, and knocked politely and courteously at the house-door. Grethel ran, and looked to see who was there, and when she saw the guest, she put her finger to her lips and said, "Hush! hush! get away as quickly as you can, if my master catches you it will be the worse for you; he certainly did ask you to supper, but his intention is to cut off your two ears. Just listen how he is sharpening the knife for it!" The guest heard the sharpening, and hurried down the steps again as fast as he could. Grethel was not idle; she ran screaming to her master, and cried, "You have invited a fine guest!" - "Eh, why, Grethel? What do you mean by that?" - "Yes," said she, "he has taken the chickens which I was just going to serve up, off the dish, and has run away with them!" - "That's a nice trick!" said her master, and lamented the fine chickens. "If he had but left me one, so that something remained for me to eat." He called to him to stop, but the guest pretended not to hear. Then he ran after him with the knife still in his hand, crying, "Just one, just one," meaning that the guest should leave him just one chicken, and not take both. The guest, however, thought no otherwise than that he was to give up one of his ears, and ran as if fire were burning under him, in order to take them both home with him.
