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

Tramper could feel the stony road through the holes in his boots. A newspaper blew by. Tramper picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his boots with the paper.

A weak old lady stared at him.

"You think you have shoe troubles!" she said. "The King has twelve girls and all of them have holes in their slippers!"

The old lady's feet were bare (光脚的), cut and purple from the cold. Tramper felt sorry for her, so he gave her his shabby boots. To thank him, she gave Tramper her dirty cloak (斗篷). As she walked away down the road, she called, "Stay awake. Drink no drop. 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. As it fell apart in his hands he read：

PALACE NOTICE
WANTED: Answer to the Mystery of the Worn Slippers.
REWARD: Princess' hand in marriage.
WARNING: All those who fail will be locked up.

"Why not?" thought Tramper. "I bet I could solve the mystery. I've got nothing to lose. I don't even have any boots." And when he looked down, his feet were gone too. His feet, legs and body had gone. He was invisible. "The cloak is magic!" he said.

The king's twelve 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? (to be continued...)
