故事梗概
中文
從前有一個農夫，他窮的連塊地都沒有，和他的獨生女住在他們唯一的一間小屋裡，女兒提議說：“我們應該請求國王分給我們一塊荒地。”
國王知道他們很貧窮，於是把一塊草地送給他們。女兒和農夫想在草地上種一些穀物，於是他們開始翻掘草地，忽然，他們發現在草地中有一隻純金的臼。父親認為應該把金臼獻給國王，因為是國王的仁慈才讓他們擁有了土地。
但女兒卻反對，她說：“父親，臼和杵應該是在一起的，我們只有臼沒有杵，國王就會讓我們把杵也找到，我們要去哪裡找呢？還是不要獻了！”
農夫不聽女兒的勸說，把臼獻給了國王，希望國王能把它當成一件禮物收下。國王收下了金臼，卻說他應該把杵也一起獻出來。農夫一再解釋沒有找到金杵，國王認為他在說謊，就把他關進了監獄。
在監獄裡農夫和囚犯（prisoner）吃的一樣，只是少得可憐的麵包和水，他很後悔沒有聽女兒的話，不停地哭喊著：“唉，我真應該聽我女兒的話呀！”侍從們聽到後，把這些話稟報給了國王。
於是國王叫侍從把農夫帶來，親自詢問他這樣哭喊的原因：“你的女兒對你說了什麼呢？你為什麼一直喊著應該聽你女兒的話呢？”
“我的女兒不同意我把金臼獻給您，她說如果我獻出了金臼，您一定會要我把金杵也找到的。”農夫回答說。
國王聽完後對農夫說：“你的女兒真有這么聰明嗎？我不相信，你去把她找來，我要親自見一見。”
農夫的女兒只得來見國王，國王對她說：“我要看看你是不是像你父親說的那樣聰明，我給你出一個謎語，你要是能夠猜中的話，我就娶你為妻。”“好的，我願意一試。”農夫的女兒答應道。
於是國王給她出了謎語：“你到王宮來，來時不可以穿衣服也不可以光著身子，不可以騎馬也不可以坐車，不可以走在大路上也不可以走在大路外。如果你能按照要求來到我這裡，我就娶你為妻。”
女兒回到家裡，脫掉了所有的衣服，再找來一個大魚網把自己包住，然後她租來一頭驢子，在驢的尾巴上繫上漁網，讓驢子拖著魚網裡的她來到王宮，一路上她只有兩個大腳趾著地，這樣她就符合了國王的所有要求。
國王看她猜中了謎語，於是讓人從監獄裡放出了她的父親，並且遵守諾言和她結了婚，還把所有王室財產全都交給她來管理，但國王卻不允許她參與任何政事。
幾年之後，王宮裡出了這樣一件事：幾個農民賣完了木材，把空車停在了宮前，這些車有的是用牛拉的，有的是用馬拉的，其中一個農夫，他用了三匹馬來拉車，有一匹馬生了一頭小馬駒，小馬駒跑到了拉另外一輛車的兩頭牛中間。幾個農民為此發生了爭執，又是吵鬧，又是摔東西，牛的主人想把小馬駒據為己有，就說小馬駒是牛生的。馬的主人當然不同意，認為小馬駒應該歸他所有，因為是他的馬生下了小馬駒。
最後他們請來國王做判定，國王認為小馬駒躺在牛的身旁，應該屬於牛的主人。於是牛的主人興高采烈的得到了小馬駒，而馬的主人則傷心痛哭，因為他才應該是小馬駒真正的擁有者。
他聽說王后是貧窮農夫的女兒，聰明仁慈。於是找到王后，希望王后可以幫他找回屬於自己的小馬駒。
“我可以給你出一個主意，但你不能說這是我的計謀。”王后說，“你明天一早，站到國王去檢閱（inspect）士兵的必經之路上，在路的中間你拿著漁網就好像在不停的打魚，然後再好像漁網裡裝滿了魚一樣，不停地抖動漁網。”最後王后還告訴他該如何回答國王的詢問。
農夫按照王后所說的，第二天一早就站在了大路中間，拿著漁網做出打魚的樣子，國王看到以後很奇怪，就派侍從去農夫那，問問他在乾什麼。
農夫說：“我正在打魚。”
侍從很奇怪：“這裡沒有水，怎么能打魚呢？”
農夫說：“公牛都能夠生出小馬駒來，沒有水的地方怎么就不能打魚呢？”
國王聽完了侍從的匯報，把農夫叫到跟前，對他說：“這些話是誰教給你的？你自己是想不出來的，你馬上把實話說出來！”農夫求上帝保佑並堅持說這些話都是自己想的，不肯出賣王后。但是國王不相信，他命人把農夫按在一捆麥草上痛打一頓，農夫被逼無奈，最後只好承認這一切都是王后教給他的。
國王回宮後對王后說：“你欺騙了我，你不再是我的妻子了，你馬上回到你的小房子裡去吧，不過，我送給你一件離別的禮物，你可以帶走一件你認為最心愛最美好的東西。”
王后聽到後說：“好的，尊敬的丈夫，我完全聽從你的吩咐。”然後她親吻著國王，要和他做最後的告別。王后派人拿來了一杯水，裡面放了烈性的安眠藥，然後端到國王面前，和他告別，她只喝了一點點，國王卻喝了很大一口。很快，國王昏睡了過去，王后叫侍從用一塊漂亮的白麻布把國王起來，然後抬到門口的車上。並親自趕著車把國王帶到了她以前居住的小房子裡，讓他躺在一張小床上，沒黑沒白地熟睡著。
國王醒來後，發現自己在一個陌生的地方，說道：“上帝啊，我這是在哪？”他的僕人也一個都不在。
最後王后來到他的床前，說：“尊敬的國王，你曾答應過我，讓我把宮裡最心愛最美好的東西帶回來，而你就是我最心愛最美好的東西，所以我把你帶到了這。”
國王非常感動，流著淚說：“我的愛妻，我們永遠屬於對方！”然後他們一起回到王宮，再次舉行了婚禮，大概一直活到今天吧！
