1.  Passage B

Twelve Dancing Princesses is a German fair y tale. It's included in the Children's and Household Tales(《格林童话》) by the Brothers Grimm.

Tramper could feel the st ony road through the holes in shoes. He saw a newspaper on the road, picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his shoes with the paper. A weak old lady was looking at him. 

"You think you have shoe trouble!"she said. "The king has 12 girls and all of them have holes in their slippers!"

The old lady had no shoes on her feet, and her feet were purple from cold. Tramper felt sorry for her, so he gave her his shoes. To thank him, she gave Tramper her dirty cloak(斗篷). As she walked away down the road, she called, "Stay awake. No drinking. Taste no cup. "

"A strange way to say goodbye, "thought Tramper.

It rained. Tramper put on the cloak and tried to read what was left of the wet newspaper. It was said:

KING'S NOTICE WANTED: Answer to the mystery of the worn slippers.  REWARD:Married to one of the princesses

"Why not?" thought Tramper. "I believe I can solve the mystery. "And, when he looked down, his feet were gone. His legs and body had gone, too. He was invisible. "The cloak is magic!"he said.

The king's daughters were a mystery. Each night they took off their silk slippers and went to bed. But each morning their silk slippers were full of holes, and the girls were tired out. 

How could it happen? The girls' bedroom door was locked, so they could not get out. How could it go on? The king was spending all his money on slippers! (To be continued…)
