Donkey to wife

Once upon a time, there was a scholar. He fell in love with a lady, and they used to meet in an old temple.
This day, it is the date of their date, the scholar all the way excitedly, while walking with leaves to blow a small song, the heart is very happy.
As he walked, he met a toady-headed monk. The toady-headed monk, walking in a hurry, looked around. Seeing him, he looked a little sly and called him and said, "Where is the little donor going?"
The scholar smiled and said, "Hello, Master! I am going to see my sweetheart, who is waiting for me in the old temple ahead."
"What?" The Peanut-head monk exclaimed, "You said that the girl in the temple was your sweetheart, my God! No, she has been taken by a strange bird. Go and save her!"
Hearing this, the scholar asked loudly: "Master! Where do you see the strange birds fly?"
"I saw the strange bird flying away into the dark forest with the girl in its mouth." Peanut-headed monk pointed in the direction of the Black forest.
Xiucai ran after listening, he had only one idea in his heart to save his sweetheart.
As he ran, he heard the chirping of birds overhead. Looking up, he saw a strange bird rubbing a shoe against a tree with its beak and claws. The scholar looks like his sweetheart's shoes. Thought finished, sweetheart has not been eaten by a strange bird?
Surprised and angry, the scholar climbed up the tree several times and grabbed the strange bird to strangle it. The strange bird begged, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me. I didn't take your sweetheart. You let me go, I'll help you find her.
"Ah, what a curiosity! The scholar said, "You are a bird, how can I believe you?"
"Trust me, I'm the only one who can help you find the one." The strange bird struggled.
The scholar thought it might be useful to leave it, so he let it go and took it with him on the road. They walked and walked until it was dark, but there was no sign of the strange bird. The scholar was also tired and hungry, ate some wild fruit, lay under the tree for a while, did not expect to fall asleep soon.
Waking up the next morning, Xiucai thought of the strange bird and found it sleeping beside him. He was very happy, thinking that the strange bird did not cheat him, and decided to treat it like a friend in the future, so he gently woke up the strange bird and went on the road together.
After a whole day of walking through the thick black forest, they came to another forest, and the strange bird said, "At the end of the forest there is a high mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there is a cave, where may your sweetheart be?" The scholar could not wait to go to the depths of the forest. As expected, he saw a mountain at the end of the forest, and there was a big cave at the bottom of the mountain. Looking into the dark, a beautiful girl stood on the edge of the cave, crying.
The scholar asked curiously: "Little girl, why are you crying here?"
The maiden answered, "I have been caught by strange birds, can you help me to go home?"
The scholar immediately replied, "Of course I will save you, but first I have to find my sweetheart, who has also been caught here by a strange bird." With these words he stepped into the cave, and the girl followed closely behind him.
The strange bird said, "Well, I don't think the big bird is in the cave."
The girl said, "Yes! It may be at the top of the hill."
After hearing this, the scholar walked out of the cave, looked up at the high mountain and said, "Then let's go up the mountain and look for it!"
The strange bird flapped its wings and said, "All right! I'll fly you up." Say crouching in the side of the scholar, the scholar jumped, crossed the strange bird, pulled the girl to the front of the body, the strange bird flew into the sky, in a blink of an eye, they reached the top of the mountain, they saw the top of the mountain covered with glittering gems, glittering gold. Xiucai only took a look at these precious stones and gold, and went everywhere to look for her sweetheart, looking for all the places on the mountain, but did not find her. Xiucai sighed and worried, and sat on the top of the mountain with unbearable heartache.
She came to him and said, "Why are you troubled? I am not ugly, you see, and now that we have so many gems under our feet, would it not be good if we took them back, bought a big house, and got married?"
The scholar said sadly, "I don't see what you look like, and I don't care about all the gems on the ground. I just want to find my sweetheart, and I will be happy to know that she is OK."
Suddenly a dark cloud flew into the sky. The scholar looked up and saw a big bird. The bird rushed to pick up the scholar and flew into the sky. The yard was surrounded by a high wall, and the bird threw him down, squawked, and flew away.
Xiucai was still on the ground fell dizzy, he staggered to stand up, see not far away there is a donkey, this donkey is very strange, see him smacking tears, also take this head against his body.
At this time, an old woman walked out of the house, ignoring him, taking the donkey to grind the wheat, and the donkey pulled the mill while looking at the scholar pitifully.
Looking at the poor donkey, the scholar went to the old woman and said: "Mother-in-law begged you to let the little donkey rest! It looks pathetic."
The old woman said, "Ho! It is a working animal, why pity it. If you feel sorry for it, you can help her grind it!"
Xiucai also did not want to agree to work for the donkey, the little donkey was happy to add his face, Xiucai this dry until the night, tired he and the donkey lying in the mill fell asleep.
The next morning Xiucai woke up and found that his little donkey in his arms had become his sweetheart. His eyes widened in surprise and he exclaimed, "My God! Oh my! Am I dreaming?"
His voice woke her sweetheart, who blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "This is not a dream, this is my home, my father wanted to test your sincerity, so my father disguised himself as a Peanut-headed monk, two strange birds are my father's pets, and the maiden, she is my sister." The old woman is our old servant, and the little donkey..."
"It's you..." The scholar laughed and said, "Well, did I pass their test?"
Her sweetheart smiled and said, "Of course, first you were not afraid of danger, then you refused my sister's temptation, and you did not even look at the gems." The most valuable thing is that I turned into a donkey and you still have feelings for me, which means you really love me.
Xiucai said seriously: "Of course, no matter how your family tests me, I am not afraid, because I only have you in my heart."
Soon Xiucai married his sweetheart in the blessing of both parents, and they have been living very happy and happy.
