the young king
the young king was alone in his
beautiful room in the palace
he was only 16 years old and he was
wild-eyed like an animal of the forest
the old king's servants found him in the
forest
at that time the boy believed that he
was the son of a poor forester
he was brought up by the forester but
now he knew
that he was the child of the old king's
daughter
the king's daughter married an ordinary
man a painter
he painted pictures on the walls of the
great church where kings were crowned
but one day he disappeared leaving the
pictures unfinished
the week old baby was taken away from
his mother's side while she slept
the forester and his wife had no
children and the baby
was given to them the princess
died when the old king was dying
he said my heart is heavy
because i have done a terrible thing the
crown must not
pass away from my family bring my
daughter's child from the forest
he will be king after me
when the boy was brought to the palace
he showed a strange love for beautiful
things
he gave a happy cry when he saw his fine
new clothes and rich jewels
he quickly took off the old coat that he
wore in the forest
he walked through the palace from room
to room looking at everything
a rich man came to see the young king
one day
he found him on his knees in front of a
beautiful picture from venice
on another day people searched for the
king for hours
they finally found him in a little room
at the north end of the palace
he was looking at the shape of the greek
god adonis
cut in a jewel in bed that night
the young king thought about the
beautiful clothes for his special day
a gold coat and a jeweled crown
people were working day and night to
finish the clothes in time
the young king imagined himself in the
great church
dressed as a king his eyes closed
and he fell asleep as he slept
he dreamed he dreamed that he was
standing in a long
low room around him were cloth makers at
work
only a little daylight came in through
narrow windows
the men's faces were pale and thin
little children were working with them
they were weak and hungry
and their little hands shook
the young king went to watch one of the
cloth makers
the man looked at him angrily
why are you watching me he said
did our employer ask you to watch us
who is your employer ask the young king
he is a man like me but
unlike me he wears fine clothes
and while i am hungry he has too much
food
you are not a slave said the young king
your employer does not own you
the rich make the poor their slaves
answer the cloth maker
we must work to live but they pay us too
little
and we die men call us free
but we are slaves but these things do
not matter to you
you are not one of us your face is
too happy
he turned away and continued his work
then the young king saw that the cloth
maker was making
gold cloth he felt a sudden fear
who you making that cloth for he asked
i am making it for the crowning of the
young king
the young king woke up with a loud cry
he was in his own room in the palace
through the window he saw the golden
moon
hanging in the sky
the young king fell asleep again and
dreamed
he dreamed that he was on a ship
hundreds of slaves were working on the
ship
they were wearing only simple cloths
round their waists
and each man was tied to the man next to
him
the hot sun shone down on them without
pity
a man ran up and down between the slaves
he hit them until the blood came work
faster
he ordered at last the ship stopped near
some land
the seamen took one of the youngest
slaves tied a stone to his feet
and let him down over the side of the
ship
after some time they pulled him out of
the water
he had a pearl in his right hand
the seamen took it from him then pushed
him back into the water
the young slave came up again and again
each time he brought with him a
beautiful pearl
the seamen put the pearls in a green bag
then the slave came up for the last time
this time he brought the best pearl of
all
it was shaped like the full moon and it
was brighter than the morning star
but the face of the slave was strangely
white
he fell down on the ship and blood came
from his ears and mouth
dead cried one of the seamen
throw the body into the sea
he looked at the pearl this will be for
the croning of the young
king when the young king heard this
he woke up with a great cry
through the window the stars were
growing weak and daylight was coming
the young king fell asleep again and
dreamed
he was walking through a dark forest
full of strange fruit and flowers
he continued walking until he came out
of the forest
there he saw a great crowd of men
working in a dry river
they were making large holes in the
ground and breaking the rocks with tools
the young king turned and saw an old man
standing behind him
with a mirror in his hand
who are these men he asked
the people in the walled cities have no
food
and little water said the old man
but these men are working in the river
to find
what are they trying to find jewels
for a king's crown said the old man
for which king look in the mirror
and you will see him
the young king looked in the mirror and
saw his own
face he woke up with a great cry
bright sunlight was shining into the
room and in the garden outside birds
were singing in the trees
government officers came into the young
king's room and greeted him
servants brought the coat made of gold
cloth
other servants placed the crown and fine
jewels in front of him
the young king looked at the lovely
things
they were very beautiful but he
remembered his dreams
and said take them away
i will not wear them the government
officers were very surprised
some of them thought that he was joking
they laughed he spoke to them again
take these things away i will not wear
them
this cloth was made by the white hands
of pain
there is blood in the jewels and death
in the heart of the pearl
and he told them his three dreams
when the men heard this they said to him
you do not know what you are saying a
dream
is only a dream it is not real
we cannot worry about the people who
work for us
and if you do not wear these clothes and
this crown
you will not look like a king how will
the people know that you
are king perhaps you are right
answered the young king but i will not
wear this coat
and i will not wear this crown i did not
wear fine clothes
when i came into the palace i will go
out of the palace in the same way
go all of you only this boy may stay
the government officers and the servants
left
only one servant a boy stayed with the
king
the young king opened a big box and took
out a rough
coat this was his coat in the days when
he watched animals on the hillside for
the forester
the young king also took out a stick
from the forest
the boy said sir where is your crown
the young king cut a piece from a wild
rose that grew near the window
he made it into a circle and put it on
his head
this will be my crown he said
the young king left his room the
government
officers were waiting for him he got up
on his horse
and rode out through the great gates of
the palace towards the church
the boy ran with him
the people in the streets laughed
this is not the king they said as he
rode past them
he stopped and answered i
am the king and he told them his three
dreams
a man came out of the crowd and spoke
angrily to him
the life of the poor comes from the fine
things that rich people use
when we make these things we can buy
bread
go back to your palace and put on your
king's clothes
why are you worrying about us
aren't rich people and poor people
brothers
asked the young king his eyes
filled with tears as he rode through the
angry cries of the people
the boy became afraid and left him
at the great gate of the church the
soldiers tried to stop him
only the king can come in here they said
to him
i am the king he answered angrily
and he pushed through them the most
important priest in the church was
waiting to crown the new king
he saw the young king in his poor
clothes and he went to meet him
my son he said
is this how a king dresses what crown
shall i crown you with this should be a
day of
great happiness
can happiness wear what sadness and pain
have made
said the king and he told the high
priest his dreams
i am an old man answered the high priest
i know that many wrong things are done
in the world
but god has made us this way and he
is wiser than you the weight of this
world's suffering
is too heavy for one man
can you say that in this house of god
said the young king he walked past the
high priest and went down on his knees
suddenly a loud noise came from the
street outside
the government officers came into the
church shouting
where is this dreamer of dreams where is
the king who is dressed as a servant
he cannot be our king
the young king stood up and turned sadly
towards them
then sunlight shone down through the
coloured glass of the church windows
it changed his coat into a coat that was
more beautiful than one of gold cloth
from the dead stick white flowers grew
that were more beautiful than pearls
the wild roses on his head shone
brighter than jewels
he stood there dressed as a king the
light of god filled the place
and there was music and singing the
people fell on their knees
the high priest laid his hands on the
young king's head
someone has crowned you who is greater
than me
he said and he went down on his knees
in front of his king

] 小国王
小国王独自一人在他
美丽的宫殿里
他只有16岁，他
的眼睛像森林里的动物一样狂野
老国王的仆人
当时在森林里发现了他那个男孩 相信他
是一个可怜的护林员的儿子
他是护林员带大的，但
现在他
知道他是老国王的
女儿 国王的女儿嫁给了一个
普通人 一个画家
他在大教堂的墙壁上画画
国王加冕的地方，
但有一天他消失了，
照片未完成
一周大的婴儿
在母亲睡觉时被从他母亲身边带走
护林员，他的妻子没有
孩子，婴儿
被送给了他们 公主
在老国王去世时去世了 临终
他说我的心很沉重，
因为我做了一件可怕的事情，
王冠不能
从我的家人身上消失，把我
女儿的孩子从森林
里带出来，当男孩被带到宫殿时，他将在我之后成为国王 e
他对美丽的事物表现出一种奇异的爱
他看到他漂亮的
新衣服和丰富的珠宝时高兴地哭了
他迅速脱掉了他
在森林里
穿的旧外套 他在宫殿里从一个房间
走到另一个房间 看着
一切 有一天，有钱人来看年轻的国王，
他发现他跪在威尼斯的一幅美丽画前。
那天晚上，年轻的国王在床上看着被宝石切割的希腊神阿多尼斯的形状，
他想到了他特殊日子的漂亮衣服
一件金外套和一顶珠宝王冠
人们日夜工作以及时
完成
衣服 年轻的国王想象自己在
伟大的教堂里
打扮成国王
他闭着眼睛睡着了
他梦见他梦见自己
站在一个长长的
低矮的房间里
日光从
狭窄的
窗户照进来 男人的脸色苍白瘦弱
小孩子们正在和他们一起干活
他们又虚弱又
饥饿 他们的小手在
颤抖 年轻的国王去看了一位
织布匠
那人愤怒地看着他
你为什么 看着我他说
我们的雇主有没有让你看着我们
谁是你的雇主问年轻的国王
他是一个像我一样的人但
不像我他穿着漂亮的
衣服当我饿的时候他有太多的
食物
你不是奴隶说 年轻的国王
你的雇主不拥有
你 富人让穷人成为他们的奴隶
回答布料制造商
我们必须工作才能生活，但他们付给我们的报酬太少
，我们死了 人们称我们为自由，
但我们是奴隶，但这些事情
对你来说无关紧要
不是我们中的一个人你的脸
太高兴
他转身继续他的工作
然后年轻的国王看到布
匠正在制作
金布他突然感到害怕
你为谁制作那块布他问
我正在为加冕做它 ○ f
年轻的
国王 年轻的国王在一声巨响中醒来
他在宫殿的自己房间
透过窗户他看到金色的
月亮
挂在
空中 年轻的国王又睡着了
他梦见他梦见自己在一艘船上
数百名奴隶在船上工作，
他们腰间只穿着简单的衣服
，每个人都被绑在旁边的人
身上，烈日照在他们身上，
毫不留情，
一个人在奴隶之间跑来跑去，
他打了他们，直到 血液流
得更快
他命令船终于在某个陆地附近停了下来
海员把一个最年轻
的奴隶绑在脚上
右手拿着一颗珍珠，
海员从他手里拿走，然后把
他推回
水里，年轻的奴隶一次又一次地上来，
每次他带着一颗
美丽的
珍珠，海员把珍珠放在一个绿色的袋子里，
然后奴隶就来了 这一次他最后一次上来了，
他带来了最好的珍珠，
它的形状像满月，
比晨星还亮，
但奴隶的脸却是奇怪的
白，
他跌倒在船上，耳朵里流出了鲜血
一个海员大喊大叫，
把尸体扔进海里
他看着那颗珍珠 这将是
给年轻国王的歌唱
当年轻的国王听到这话时，
他
从窗户里大喊一声醒了 星星
越来越虚弱 天亮了
，年轻的国王又睡着了，
梦到
他正在穿过一片
满是奇异水果和鲜花的黑暗森林
他继续往前走，直到走出
森林他看到一大群人
在干涸的
河流中工作 年轻的国王在地上挖大洞
，用工具打碎岩石，
年轻的国王转过身来，看到一个老人
站在他身后，
手里拿着一面镜子，
他问
这些人是谁，城里的人没有
食物
小水说，老人说，
但这些人正在河里工作，
他们在寻找什么，他们想
为国王的王冠寻找珠宝。老人说
，国王照镜子
，你会
看到他年轻的国王照镜子 镜子里
看到自己的
脸 他大叫一声醒来
其他仆人将王冠和精美
珠宝放在他
面前 年轻的国王看着这些可爱的
东西
它们非常漂亮但他
记得他的梦想
并说把它们拿走
我不会戴它们政府
官员很惊讶
他们中的一些人认为 他在开玩笑
他们笑了 他又和他们说话
把这些东西拿走 我不会穿
它们
这块布是由痛苦的白手制成
的 珠宝中有鲜血 死亡
在 他的心
，他告诉他们他的三个梦想
当男人们听到这个他们对他说
你不知道你在说什么
梦想
只是一个梦想它不是真的
我们不能担心
为我们工作的
人 如果你不穿这些衣服和
这顶王冠，
你就不会看起来像一个国王
，人们怎么会知道你
是国王也许你是对
的年轻国王的回答，但我不会
穿这件外套
，我不会戴这个王冠 进宫不
穿华
服 出宫也一样
一个大盒子，
拿出一件粗
大衣，这是他当年
在山坡上看动物
给护林员时的外套，
年轻的国王也
从森林里拿出一根棍子，
男孩说，先生，你的王冠在哪里？
年轻的国王剪了一个
一朵野玫瑰的碎片 在靠近窗户的地方，
他把它绕成一个圆圈，戴
在头上，
这将是我的王冠 他
说年轻的国王离开了他的房间，
政府
官员正在等着他，他
骑上马，穿过大城门出去了
宫殿走向
教堂 男孩和他一起跑
街上的人都笑了
这不是国王 他们说他
骑马经过他们
他停下来回答
我是国王 他告诉他们他的三个
梦
一个人从人群中走出来
愤怒地对他说
穷人的生命来自
富人用的好东西
当我们做这些东西我们可以买
面包回你的宫殿穿上你的
国王的衣服
你为什么担心我们
不是富人 可怜的人
兄弟
问年轻的国王，他的眼睛里
充满了泪水，他骑着马穿过
人民的愤怒哭泣，
男孩害怕了，把他留
在了教堂的大门口，
士兵们试图阻止他，
只有国王才能进来 他们
对他说
我是国王 他生气地回答
他把他们推开
教堂里最重要的牧师正
等着为新国王加冕
他看到年轻的国王
穿着破旧的衣服 他去见他
我的儿子 他说
是这个 国王如何穿衣
我将给你戴上什么王冠 这应该是一个
非常幸福的日子
幸福可以戴上悲伤和痛苦
造成的
一切 国王和他告诉
大祭司他的梦想
我是一个老人
世界上做了很多错事，
但上帝把我们变成了这样，他
比你更聪明这个
世界的苦难
对一个人来说太重了，
你能说在这个上帝的殿堂里，
他走过的年轻国王说
大祭司跪了下来，
突然从
外面
的街道传来一声巨响，政府官员走进
教堂，
喊着这个做梦的人在
哪里，穿着仆人装的国王在哪里，
他不能成为我们的
国王 年轻的国王站起身来，悲伤地
转向他们，
阳光透过
教堂窗户的彩色玻璃照
进来，把他的外套变成了一件
比枯枝上的金布更漂亮的外套，
白色的花朵
比珍珠更美丽
他头上的野玫瑰
比珠宝更耀眼
他站在那里装扮成国王
上帝的光芒充满了这个
地方 音乐和歌声
人们
跪下 大祭司将双手放在
年轻国王的头上
有人加冕 他说你比我更伟大
，他
在他的国王面前跪下
