Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
There was once a woman and her daughter who had a beautiful garden with cabbages. A hare got into it, and during the winter he ate all the cabbages. So the mother said to the daughter, Go to the garden, and chase the hare away.
The girl said to the hare, Shoo, shoo, hare! Youre eating all our cabbages.
The hare said, Come, girl, sit on my tail, and come with me to my hut.
The girl would not do that.
The next day the hare came again and ate cabbages, so the woman said to her daughter, Go to the garden, and chase the hare away.
The girl said to the hare, Shoo, shoo, hare! Youre eating all our cabbages.
The hare said, Come, girl, sit on my tail, and come with me to my hut.
The girl would not do that.
On the third day the hare came again and ate cabbages, so the woman said to her daughter, Go to the garden and chase the hare away.
The girl said, Shoo, shoo, hare! Youre eating all our cabbages.
The hare said, Come, girl, sit on my tail, and come with me to my hut.
So the girl sat on the hares tail, and the hare took her far away to his little hut, and then said, Now cook some green cabbage and millet. Im going out to invite guests to our wedding.
Then all the wedding guests arrived. Who were the wedding guests? I can tell you, because someone else told me. They were all hares, and the crow was there as parson to marry the bride and bridegroom, and the fox served as sexton, and their altar was under the rainbow.
But the girl was sad, for she was all alone.
The hare came up to her and said, Open the door! Open the door! The wedding guests are making merry.
The bride cried and said nothing. The hare went away. Then the hare came back and said, Open the door! Open the door! The wedding guests are hungry.
The bride continued to cry, and said nothing. The hare went away. Then he came back and said, Open the door! Open the door! The wedding guests are waiting.
The bride said nothing, and the hare went away. Then she dressed a straw doll in her clothes, gave it a stirring|spoon, and stood it next to the millet pot. Then she went back to her mother.
The hare came once more and said, Open the door! Open the door! Then he opened the door himself and struck the doll on the head so that its cap fell off. Then the hare saw that this was not his bride, and he sadly went away.
以前有个妇人，她携带女儿住在一座好看的花园里，院子里种了很多卷心菜。冬季，有只兔子来到院子里偷吃卷心菜，母亲对女儿说：「去把那兔子赶走。」小女孩就出来对兔子说：「喂!兔子，你快把大家家的卷心菜吃光了。」兔子对小女孩说：「小女孩，来坐到我尾巴上来吧，我带你上我家去。」
小女孩不愿。
第二天，兔子又来吃卷心菜了。母亲又对女儿说：「到院子里去把那只兔子赶走。」小女孩就出来对兔子说：「喂!兔子，你快把大家家的卷心菜吃光了。」兔子对小女孩说：「小女孩，来坐到我尾巴上来吧，我带你上我家去。」小女孩还是拒绝了。
第三天，兔子又来了，坐在卷心菜上面。母亲对女儿说：「去把那兔子赶走。」小女孩就出来对兔子说：「喂!兔子，你快把大家家的卷心菜吃光了。」兔子对小女孩说：「小女孩，来坐到我尾巴上来吧，我带你上我家去。」小女孩坐到兔子尾巴上，被带到了非常远的兔子家。它对女孩说：「目前动手烧饭吧，用青菜和小米，我去请来参加结婚典礼的客人。」接着，所有些客人都到了
女孩十分难过，由于只有她是人。小兔子走来讲：「开门开门快开门，客大家都非常感兴趣。」被当成新娘的女孩一声不吭地抽泣起来，兔子走了出去。它再回来时又说：「开饭开饭快开饭，客大家肚子都非常饿了。」新娘还是一言不发，顾自流泪，兔子又走了。它第三次回来时对小女孩说：「揭开锅盖快揭开，客人已经不耐烦。」新娘沉默着，兔子又出去了。於是女孩将我们的衣服套在一个稻草人身上，给它一把勺子装成搅拌锅里煮的东西的样子，然后把它摆在锅边，自己回家找母亲去了。小兔子又回来喊：「快开饭，快开饭!」然后站起来，对着新娘就是一拳，结果把稻草人的帽子给打掉了。
小兔子发现这不是它要的新娘，十分难过地离开了那里。
