安徒生童话:荞麦。在一阵大雷雨以后，当你走过一块荞麦田的时候，你常常会发现这里的荞麦又黑又焦，好像火焰在它上面烧过一次似的。这时种田人就说：这是它从闪电得来的。但为什么它会落得这个结果？我可以把麻雀告诉我的话告诉你。麻雀是从一棵老柳树那儿听来的。这树立在荞麦田的旁边，而且现在还立在那儿。它是一株非常值得尊敬的大柳树，不过它的年纪很老，皱纹很多。它身体的正中裂开了，草和荆棘就从裂口里长出来。这树向前弯，枝条一直垂到地上，像长长的绿头发一样。周围的田里都长着麦子，长着裸麦和大麦，也长着燕麦是的，有最好的燕麦。当它成熟了的时候，看起来就像许多落在柔软的树枝上的黄色金丝鸟。这麦子立在那儿，微笑着。它的穗子越长得丰满，它就越显得虔诚，谦卑，把身子垂得很低。可是另外有一块田，里面长满了荞麦。这块田恰恰是在那株老柳树的对面。荞麦不像别的麦子，它身子一点也不弯，却直挺挺地立着，摆出一副骄傲的样子。作为一根穗子，我真是长得丰满，它说。此外我还非常漂亮：我的花像苹果花一样美丽：谁看到我和我的花就会感到愉快。你这老柳树，你知道还有什么别的比我们更美丽的东西吗？这时一阵可怕的暴风雨到来了：田野上所有的花儿，当暴风雨在它们身上经过的时候，都把自己的叶子卷起来，把自己细嫩的头儿垂下来，可是荞麦仍然骄傲地立着不动。像我们一样，把你的头低下来呀,麦子大声说。暴风的安琪儿现在飞来了。他的翅膀从云块那儿一直伸到地面；你还来不及求情，他就已经把你砍成两截了。把你的花儿闭起来，把你的叶子垂下来呀，老柳树说。当云块正在裂开的时候，你无论如何不要望着闪电：连人都不敢这样做，因为人们在闪电中可以看到天，这一看就会把人的眼睛弄瞎的。假如我们敢于这样做，我们这些土生的植物会得到什么结果呢？况且我们远不如他们。远不如他们！荞麦说。我倒要瞧瞧天试试看。它就这样傲慢而自大地做了。电光掣动得那么厉害，好像整个世界都烧起来了似的。当恶劣的天气过去以后，花儿和麦子在这沉静和清洁的空气中站着，被雨洗得焕然一新。可是荞麦却被闪电烧得像炭一样焦黑。它现在成为田里没有用的死草。那株老柳树在风中摇动着枝条；大颗的水滴从绿叶上落下来，好像这树在哭泣似的。于是麻雀便问：你为什么要哭呢？你看这儿一切是那么令人感到愉快：你看太阳照得多美，你看云块飘得多好。你没有闻到花儿和灌木林散发出来的香气吗？你为什么要哭呢，老柳树？我现在讲的这个故事是从麻雀那儿听来的。有一天晚上我请求它们讲一个童话，它们就把这件事情讲给我听。这个小故事收集在讲给孩子们听的故事第8集。故事的内涵一看就可以明了：荞麦自以为了不起，一意孤行，不听任何忠告，结果被闪电烧得像炭一样焦黑。它现在成为田里没有用的死草。这个小故事也反映出安徒生的性格的一个方面谦虚．质朴。
