倔强的彼埃拉人
倔强的彼埃拉人amp;意大利童话
一个农夫要去彼埃拉。正赶上刮风下雨的恶劣天气，路都几乎无法走了。但这个农夫有要紧的事，他低着头顶着风雨雷电继续往前走。
他遇上一个老人，对他说：“你好啊！你这样急急忙忙的要去哪里啊？好人。”
“去彼埃拉。”农夫答道，继续往前走。
“你至少应该说一声‘愿上帝保佑’吧。”
农夫停了下来，望着面前的老人高声说：“如果上帝保佑，我去彼埃拉；如果上帝不保佑，我照样得去。”
其实，那个老人就是上帝。他对农夫说：“那好吧，你七年以后才能到彼埃拉去，现在，你跳进池塘，在里面待上七年吧。”
农夫立即变成了一只青蛙，跳进了池塘。
七年过去了。农夫从池塘中出来，又变回人，他戴紧帽子，又上路了。
没走几步，上次那个老人又出现了。“好人，你这是去哪里啊？”
“去彼埃拉。”
“你应该祈祷一声‘愿上帝保佑’。”
“要是上帝保佑，那很好；要是不保佑，那个惩罚我知道，我会自己跳进池塘里去。”
说完，他再也不开口说话了。
