Berta Lask, 1921, trans. Jack Zipes<\/strong><\/p>\n

A boy and a girl walked together on a country road. They were carrying books and pencils in their knapsacks and heading toward school. Along the way the boy said, \u201cWe have our history lesson today. That\u2019s neat! The teacher will tell us again how the Germans fought the French. I love to hear all about it. You know, when I grow up, I\u2019ll go to war and kill all the French.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Girl replied. \u201cPlease don\u2019t kill all of them. Perhaps there are some good people among them. Then you\u2019ll have killed the good with the bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But the boy answered, \u201cWhat do you mean? There are no good ones. I\u2019m going to kill them all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They continued along their way for a while, and the young girl asked, \u201cWhat sort of stories did your mother tell you? She knows so many.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young boy said, \u201cYesterday, she told me about Siegfried and how he killed a dragon. And the day before she told me about little Roland and how he killed a giant. You know, when I grow up, I\u2019m going to kill a dragon and a giant or many dragons and giants. And there are evil knights who kidnap princesses and hold them prisoner. I\u2019m going to kill all of the evil knights, too, and free all the princesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s terrific,\u201d the girl said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll help you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young boy laughed and said, \u201cYou want to help me? But you\u2019re just a girl. Girls can\u2019t kill dragons. Boys are the only ones who know how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then the girl responded, \u201cWell, you can at least show me the dragon after you\u2019ve killed one. I want to see if it\u2019s a real one. Still, I\u2019ll do something that\u2019s just as good as killing dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d the boy asked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t know yet. I still have time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just at that moment they arrived in front of the school.<\/p>\n

Several years later the young boy was grown up and no longer went to school. So he bought a gun and ammunition and marched along the country road \u2013 \u201c left, right, left, right,\u201d snappy, like a soldier. He was now ready to fight against the French. But when he asked people where he could find the enemy forces of the French, they laughed at him and said, \u201cThe war with the French ended many years ago. There\u2019s nothing to fight against now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When the young man heard this, he returned sadly to his home and placed the ammunition in a drawer and the gun in a closet. \u201cI can\u2019t fight the French now,\u201d he thought, \u201cbut I can still kill a dragon and evil knights who kidnap princesses.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The following day the young man wandered along the country road again. He wore a fine suit made out of smooth blue cloth and a warm overcoat. Under the coat he carried a large sharp sword that he wanted to use to kill dragons and evil knights. After some time he arrived in a city. And as he went through the streets, he heard a soft clappety-clap. Hey, the young man thought, it clatters like iron armour. There must be a knight around here somewhere. And he listened carefully to the clattering noise that came out of a cellar. The young man crouched and looked through a window; he saw a young girl with a pale, sad face. Hey, the young man thought, she must be a princess. I\u2019m going to go right down there and kill the iron knight and free the princess.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young man went down some steps and entered a small, dark cellar. An old woman sat on a stool and peeled potatoes, and a sewing machine stood at the window. There sat the pale girl whom the young man had seen from outside. She was sewing as fast as she could and did not even look up at the young man as he entered. The young man was puzzled by this and said, \u201cI thought you were a kidnapped princess because you looked so sad and pale, and I thought an evil knight was guarding you because I heard rattling like an iron armour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You fool, the girl wanted to say, but then she stopped sewing for a moment and looked up at him. And when she noticed that his face was good and honest, the girl laughed a little and said, \u201cMy iron sewing machine is the evil knight that keeps me prisoner. I have to sew from early morning until late at night and can hardly leave the room. If it were a knight it would fall asleep every now and then or die. But the sewing machine neither sleeps nor dies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young man then drew his sword from beneath his coat and said, \u201cI\u2019m going to chop the sewing machine into a thousand pieces so that it will no longer hold you prisoner.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But the girl became very annoyed and cried, \u201cYou foolish thing, if you destroy my sewing machine, my mother and I will starve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut what are you sewing?\u201d the young man asked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI sew fine suits like the one you have on,\u201d the girl said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut why must you sit like a prisoner and work day and night in a small dark room?\u201d the young man asked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t know why,\u201d the girl said. \u201cI don\u2019t have time to trouble myself to find out why. But if you are a good, brave lad, then you could take the time and trouble to find out\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYes,\u201d the young man said. \u201cI\u2019ll do it, and when I know how to help you, I\u2019ll return.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young girl laughed again and then quickly continued to sew as the young man departed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019d rather fight against a knight than against a sewing machine, the young man thought, but now I don\u2019t know what to do. And he continued on his way steeped in thought. After some time he left the city and came to a patch of wood. There, in the distance, he could see a large factory with two tall chimneys puffing thick, black smoke into the air. Suddenly women, girls, and little children emerged and headed toward the factory. The stragglers were running. Why are they running like that, the young man thought; perhaps there\u2019s a wild animal running after them, perhaps a dragon. And he called to the women, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid of the dragon. I\u2019ll handle him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWhat\u2019s that? What shouldn\u2019t we be afraid of?\u201d the women asked.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThe dragon who\u2019s after you,\u201d the young man replied.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The women and girls laughed loudly. But one of the women went over to the young man. She led two children by the hand and told him, \u201cThere\u2019s no dragon after us. But there is a dragon in front of us, waiting for us. Do you see the flames coming out of his mouth?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Through an open door of the factory the young man saw a gigantic furnace filled with glowing red coal. That was what the woman meant by flames coming out of the dragon\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cAnd do you see the black smoke he puffs out of his nose? That\u2019s the dragon. He drags me away from my children every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cDo you always have to go to the dragon?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cEvery day, from early morning until late at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cAnd what do you do there the entire day?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe make nice warm cloth like the cloth of your coat,\u201d the woman said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t want to wear a warm coat anymore if you have to leave your children alone because of it,\u201d the young man said. \u201cI\u2019m going to start a large fire and burn down the entire factory. Then the dragon won\u2019t be able to drag you away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cNo,\u201d the woman said, \u201cthat\u2019s the one thing you shouldn\u2019t do. Otherwise, my children and I shall starve. But if you\u2019re a smart, brave lad, think of a way you can help us.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upon saying that, the woman went with the others into the factory. The children remained outside, and many cried because their mothers had gone away. Just then a young woman carrying a basked came out of the woods. It was the girl who had gone to school with the young man some years ago. Upon catching sight of the young woman, the children stopped crying and ran toward her. She began telling them beautiful stories, and she played with them. And when the children became hungry, she took some bread and milk from the basket so that they could eat and drink.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young man was surprised and watched for some time. He no longer thought about the sword under his coat, and it slipped to the ground without his noticing it. But the young woman cried out to him, \u201cYou\u2019ve lost your sword. Come over here and bring it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young man turned around and said, \u201cLet it lie there. I don\u2019t need it now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The young woman laughed and asked him whether he had killed all of the dragons. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you bring me one?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI haven\u2019t killed one single dragon yet,\u201d the young man said. \u201cIt\u2019s more difficult than I thought. The real dragon that causes evil keeps on hiding. But I\u2019ll find him one day, and then I\u2019ll fight it out with him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
