Hanni folk story: Toads for daughter-in-law

once upon a time, there was an old couple in greater montenegro who grew beans from melons.

they have no children and they live on a cold and clear day.

the flowerless wild butterflies look down on them, and the childless couple suffer from others.

poor old couples used to groan at toads in the field: they didn't want good men, they didn't want beautiful women, and they had a toad-like son or daughter who was happy.

in a year, the old couple's melon made a big pumpkin.

they took this pumpkin home, cut it with a knife and jumped out of a bowl of big clams.

the toad landed, without the "gull-thing" but with human words.

this one screamed, "dad," and called, "mom," and said, "i am your son and i am your doll." the old couple don't think the toads are ugly or ugly.

they hold the toads in their arms.

toads grow 18 times.

what is in the heavens, it understands, and what is in the earth, it meets.

old man and wife, they're drunk like rice; old mother eats honey and she's happy.

one day the toad said to the old man and wife, "dad and dad, i'm going to ask for a wife.

let your daughter-in-law bring you food and water so that you may enjoy the few days.” the old couple was busy saying, "good boy, you're missing it.

which girl will come to our house to be a daughter-in-law?" the toad smiled and said, "i heard the princess of the king's house was very beautiful, and i'm going to ask the king's princess..." the old husband and wife were anxious to say, "oh, dear, don't say so.

and the toad says, "don't worry, you won't kill your head.

as long as i speak in person, the king will marry my princess." after that, he jumped away.

the toad came to the palace and said to the king: “the esteemed king, please marry me as my daughter-in-law.” the king was so angry at me, "you're a toad-eating swan.

pull it down and chop it up!" the toad said, "dear king, i fear i will roast your whole family with the sun." "don't listen to him! pull it down!" until the guards came, the clams screamed, and the sun turned into a big fireball, burning the whole palace, and the king, queen, prince, princesses cried as rain, with their mouths open.

the king only promised to marry his daughter to a toad, and he breathed, and he said, "yah, toad forgive me, i will marry you.

you'll marry in three days." the clams were screaming in the air, and the sun was restored.

three days later, the toad came to the palace on a tall horse to marry.

the king immediately sent a team of men to hold the back and protect the bride at the toad's house.

i didn't know that the bride was not the king's princess, but a one-eyed girl.

and so the clams were so anxiousride on a tall horse and storm into the palace and question the king: "hmm! how dare you lie to the people and marry me as a princess!" and the king said, "oh, the toad, don't you think, how can you marry my princess when you're in a slurry, you're a devil? all right, i'll give you some more gold, some more silver, and you'll marry the girl." and the toad smiled, and said, "don't treat me like a doll.

i'm asking your princess to be your daughter-in-law.

if you don't, i'll drown your whole family! the king sunk his face and said, "no! the clams screamed two times to heaven, and rained in the morning.

the whole palace was in the water, scared the king to beg for forgiveness, saying, "okay, okay, okay, i'll marry you the princess." in three days' time, you'll marry." and the toad screamed two times, and the rain stopped, and the water retreated。
