格林童话：教父(2)

　　Now the man wanted to visit his godfather one time and tell him what had happened with the water. He entered the house, but the strangest things were going on there. On the first flight of stairs, the dustpan and the broom were fighting, and violently hitting one other.

　　He asked them, "Where does the godfather live?"

　　The broom answered, "Up one more flight of stairs."

　　When he came to the second flight, he saw a heap of dead fingers lying. He asked, "Where does the godfather live?"

　　One of the fingers answered, "Up one more flight of stairs."

　　On the third flight lay a heap of dead mens heads, and they directed him still another flight higher. On the fourth flight, he saw fish on the fire, sizzling in a pan and baking themselves. They too said, "Up one more flight of stairs."

　　And when he had climbed the fifth, he came to the door of a room and peeped through the keyhole. There he saw the godfather who had a pair of long horns. When he opened the door and went in, the godfather quickly got into bed and covered himself up.
