The End
Cerita The Phoenix Egg + Terjemahan - Dulu, seorang pria dan
istrinya tinggal di kota Huan-Lien. Mereka memiliki sebuah rumah besar dan
banyak lahan tetapi mereka tidak bahagia karena mereka tidak punya anak.
Suatu hari, wanita bermimpi. Dalam mimpi itu, peri berkata
kepadanya, "Ketika Anda adalah pasangan yang sangat baik dan baik, aku
akan memberikan anak-anak. Ketika Anda bangun, Anda akan menemukan empat buah
persik. Menjaga mereka sangat hati-hati. Anda kemudian akan memiliki anak.
Wanita itu mengatakan kepada suaminya tentang mimpi itu
keesokan harinya. Mereka melihat di sekitar rumah dan menemukan empat buah
persik di meja dapur mereka. Mereka dibungkus dengan hati-hati dengan kain dan
menempatkannya dalam sebuah kotak. Seminggu kemudian, mereka mendengar suara
bayi menangis. Mereka melihat ke dalam kotak dan menemukan empat anak laki-laki
yang indah di sana.
"Apa yang akan kita memanggil mereka?" Pasangan
saling bertanya. Malam itu, wanita itu bermimpi lagi. Dan peri yang sama
berkata kepadanya, "Kamu akan memanggil anak-anak Anda Big Head, Hard
Head, Panjang Kaki dan Cold Head." Jadi anak-anak diberi nama-nama ini dan
mereka tumbuh sehat dan kuat. .
Suatu hari, wanita jatuh sakit. Dia mengatakan kepada
anak-anaknya bahwa hanya obat-obatan yang terbuat dari telur phoenix yang bisa
menyembuhkannya. Ada telur hanya phoenix di seluruh negeri dan yang disimpan di
istana raja.
Big Head tidak membuang-buang waktu. Dia mencuri telur
phoenix dari istana. Ibunya sudah sembuh segera. Raja, bagaimanapun, adalah
sangat marah. Dia memerintahkan anak buahnya untuk menemukan pencuri. Segera setelah
itu, kepala Big ditangkap. Raja memerintahkan bahwa ia harus dieksekusi, tapi
kepalanya begitu besar bahwa itu tidak mungkin untuk memotongnya.
Saudaranya, Hard Head, kemudian ditangkap. Tapi kepalanya
adalah begitu keras bahwa itu tidak mungkin untuk memotongnya.
Setelah itu, Long Feet ditangkap. Raja memerintahkan bahwa
ia harus tenggelam. Namun, itu tidak mungkin untuk melakukannya karena ia hanya
berjalan di atas air dengan kaki panjang.
"Merebut empat saudara," teriak petugas yang
bertanggung jawab laki-laki raja. "Dan didihkan hidup-hidup."
Sekarang sudah giliran Cold Head. Dia melemparkan ke dalam
panci air mendidih, namun ia tidak jatuh panas. Dia melompat keluar dari panci
dan berjalan pergi.
Ketika raja melihat bahwa tak ada gunanya untuk mencoba dan
membunuh anak-anak tersebut, ia memutuskan untuk membiarkan mereka pergi.
Semua untuk saudara hidup bahagia selamanya.
