Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen. After looking forward to it for many years, the queen finally became pregnant.They invited an astrologer to know whether the queen was pregnant with a boy or a girl, and what the child's future fate would be.After observing the astrology, the astrologers said that the queen will give birth to a girl, and she is destined to be loved by the sun before she turns 20, and to give birth to a daughter for the sun.When the king and queen learned that their daughter was going to have a daughter for the sun, they were very distressed, because the sun was always in the sky and could not marry yet.To remedy this, they had a tower built, with windows so high that even sunlight could not reach the bottom of the tower through the windows.The girl and her nurse were locked up there, so that the girl hadn't seen the sun until she was nearly twenty, and of course the sun hadn't seen her either.

The wet nurse had a daughter of the same age as the king's daughter, and the two girls grew up together in the tower.When they were nearly twenty years old, one day, they were talking about what wonderful things would be in the world outside the tower, and the nurse's daughter said, "If we stack chairs on chairs and climb to that window, we will See the outside world, okay?" As they said, they stacked up the chairs one by one until they reached the window.They looked out of the window and saw the trees and the river and the heron in flight, and up they saw the white clouds and the sun.The sun also saw the king's daughter and fell in love with her immediately, sending her a beam of sunshine.The moment the sun hit the girl, the girl became pregnant with the daughter of the sun.

The sun's daughter was born in the tower, and the nurse was afraid that the king would blame her, so she carefully wrapped the baby girl in the golden swaddle of the royal family, took her to the broad bean field, and left her there.The king's daughter was twenty years old in the tower, and the king thought her dangerous period had passed, so he let her out.The king knew nothing of what had happened, for his daughter, who had been born to the sun, had been abandoned in a field of broad beans, and was lying there weeping. Another king was hunting and happened to pass by the broad bean field. He heard crying and felt sorry for the baby girl who was abandoned in the broad bean field.He took her home and gave her to his wife.They found him a nurse, and kept her in the palace, and treated her as if they were their own daughter.The girls grew up in the palace with their sons.The boy is a little older than her.

The boy and the girl grow up together and they fall in love.The king's son desperately wanted to marry her, but the king didn't want his son to marry an abandoned baby, so he drove her out of the palace and let her live in a remote and lonely house, hoping that his son would forget her .The king didn't think that she was the daughter of the sun, and she was born with abilities that humans didn't know. As soon as the girl left, the king tried his best to find a daughter of the royal family for his son and let them marry.On the day of the wedding, the messengers distributed candied fruit to all relatives and friends, including the girl who was abandoned in the broad bean field.

The messenger knocked on the door, and the daughter of the sun came downstairs to open it, but she had no head. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said, "I was combing my hair, and I left it on the dresser. I'll go get it." She accompanied the messengers upstairs, and she put it around her neck, smiling. "What shall I present for the wedding?" she said, and led the messengers into the kitchen. "Oven, open!" she said, and the door swung open.The daughter of the sun smiled at the messengers. "Chop wood, go to the stove." The firewood flew into the stove.The daughter of the sun smiled at the messengers again, and said, "Light the stove, call me when it is hot." She turned to the messengers, "Now, what do you want to say?"

The messengers were so frightened that their hair stood on end, their faces were as pale as death, and they could not utter a word, when the stove cried out, "My lord!" The daughter of the sun said: "Please wait a moment." She got close to the blazing stove, turned around in it, and got out again, holding a golden pie. "Please take this to the prince and let him eat it at the wedding feast." The envoys all returned to the palace dumbstruck, and told everyone what they had seen with their own eyes without even daring to breathe, no one believed them.The bride was so jealous of the girl (who was known to be the groom's lover) that she said, "These are the things I used to do when I was at home."

"Okay," said the groom, "then you can show us too." "Well, yes, we'll see later," the bride was trying to say, and the groom immediately led her into the kitchen. "Chop wood, go to the furnace," said the bride, but the wood didn't move. "Light the stove." The stove didn't light either.The servants kindled the fire, and when it was very hot the haughty bride insisted on getting into it.But she was burned to death before she could get fully into the fire. After some time, the king persuaded his son to take another wife.On the wedding day, the envoys sent candied fruit to the daughter of the sun.They knocked on the door, and the daughter of the sun came out through the wall instead of opening the door. "I'm sorry," she said, "I can't open the door from the inside. I always open the door through the wall. Well, please come in now."

She took them into the kitchen and said, "What shall I prepare for the bridegroom now? Quick, quick, get the wood into the stove! Light the fire!" Everything was done in a flash, and the messenger broke into a cold sweat . "Frying pan, to the fire! Olive oil, to the frying pan! Call me when the oil is hot!" After a while, the oil shouted: "My master, the oil is hot!" "Here I come." The daughter of the sun said with a smile, she stretched her fingers into the pot, her fingers turned into fish, and her ten fingers became ten delicious fishes, and the daughter of the sun wrapped the ten fishes She stood up and handed it to the messengers with a smile. At this time, her fingers grew again.

The bride of this letter was also very jealous and ambitious. After listening to the narration of the stunned messengers, she said: "Oh, that's great. Look, I'll cook fish for you." The groom asked her to honor his words and asked someone to prepare a pot of hot oil for her.The haughty daughter sticks her fingers into the frying pan and it burns to death. The queen was furious at the messengers: "Look what you are talking about! Both brides are dead!" Nevertheless, the king and queen found a third bride for their son.On the wedding day, the messenger sent candied fruit to the sun's daughter.

"Hi, hi, here I am!" said the Daughter of the Sun when the messengers knocked on the door.They looked around and saw she was in the air. "I was walking on the web just now. Now I'm coming down." She jumped off the web and took the preserves. "What gift should I give this time?" She thought for a while, and then called out, "Come, knife." The knife came flying, and she took it and cut off one of her ears.Connecting her ears was a golden lace, and she pulled out this golden lace that seemed pre-wound in her head from her head, pulling and pulling, as if she could never finish pulling it.Finally, she took out the gold trim, put the ear back in place, and patted it lightly with her fingers, and the ear returned to its original shape.

The gold border was so beautiful that everyone in the palace wanted to know where it came from.Therefore, despite the queen's prior ban, the messengers finally told the origin of this piece of gold. "Oh, that's how I got the lace on my dress," said the bride. "Here's the knife, let's see!" said the groom. The stupid woman cut off one of her ears, and instead of pulling out any lace, she bled to death. After the king's son lost his wife in succession, he missed his beloved girl even more.Later, he fell ill, neither talking nor laughing, neither eating nor drinking; no one knew how to cure his illness. They called for an old witch, and she said, "He must be given barley porridge. But the barley must be sown, ripened, harvested, and made into porridge within an hour." The king was very disappointed because no one had seen this kind of wheat.They thought of the girl who knew many strange magics, and they sent for her. "Oh, yes, I know this kind of wheat very well," she said, and began to sow.The wheat then grows, is harvested, and is made into barley porridge within an hour. She was going to feed the porridge to the king's son herself, when the prince was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.But the porridge was so bad that he spit it out as soon as he took a bite, all of a sudden it spit on the girl's eyes. "What? How dare you spit porridge in the eyes of the sun's daughter, the king's granddaughter?" "Are you the daughter of the sun?" asked the king who was standing by. "I'm." "Are you the king's granddaughter?" "Yes, it's me." "We thought you were an outcast! Now you can marry our son." "Of course I can!" The king's son was healed immediately, and he married the sun's daughter.From the day of her wedding, Sun's daughter has become a normal daughter and no longer does those bizarre things. (pizza)
