English Original
There was a merchant who had two young children. He lost all his wealth when his ships sank at sea, leaving him with only a field outside town. In his despair, a black dwarf appeared and offered him great riches in exchange for a promise: the merchant must give up the first thing that rubs against his leg when he returns home, in twelve years' time. The merchant, thinking it would be his dog, agreed.
Upon returning home, his young son, learning to walk, was the first to cling to his leg. The merchant was horrified but soon found a heap of money in his attic, restoring his fortune. As the twelfth year approached, his anxiety grew. He confessed the pact to his now-grown son. The brave son, blessed by a priest, faced the dwarf. After a dispute, it was decided the son would be set adrift in a small boat on a flowing stream.
The boat capsized but did not sink, carrying the boy safely to a distant, enchanted shore. There, he found a castle where a snake, actually an enchanted princess, awaited her deliverer. To break the spell, he had to endure three nights of torment by spectral black men without uttering a word. He succeeded, the princess was freed, and they married, making him King of the Golden Mountain.
They lived happily for eight years and had a son. The King longed to see his father. Despite the Queen's foreboding, she gave him a wishing-ring for the journey, making him promise not to use it to bring her and their son to him. Disguised as a shepherd, he visited his parents. When his father doubted his royal status, the King broke his promise in a moment of passion and used the ring to summon his family.
The Queen was angry at his broken word. Later, while the King slept on her lap, she stole the ring, took their child, and wished herself back to her kingdom, leaving behind only one of her slippers. Stranded, the King journeyed on. He met three giants arguing over their inheritance: a sword that could behead all but its wielder, an invisibility cloak, and seven-league boots. By cleverly testing them, he gained all three items.
Using the boots, he returned to the Golden Mountain to find his queen celebrating a wedding with another. Invisible thanks to the cloak, he disrupted the feast by stealing food and drink from her plate. Following the distressed Queen to her chamber, he revealed himself, confronted her betrayal, and declared the wedding over. When the gathered nobles mocked him, he used the magic sword to behead them all, reclaiming his throne as the true King of the Golden Mountain.

一位商人有两个年幼的孩子。他的船只全部在海上沉没，失去了所有财富，只留下城外的一块田地。绝望中，一个黑色侏儒出现，提出给他巨大财富，交换一个承诺：商人必须在十二年后，交出他回家时第一个蹭到他腿的东西。商人以为是他的狗，便答应了。
回到家，他蹒跚学步的小儿子第一个抱住了他的腿。商人惊恐万分，但很快在阁楼发现了一大堆钱，重获财富。第十二年临近，他愈发焦虑，向现已长大的儿子坦白了契约。勇敢的儿子得到牧师的祝福，前去面对侏儒。一番争执后，决定让儿子乘一艘小船顺流漂走。
船翻了但没沉，载着男孩安全抵达一个遥远、被施了魔法的海岸。在那里，他发现一座城堡，一条蛇——实则是被施咒的公主——正等待她的解救者。为了破除魔咒，他必须忍受三个夜晚幽灵黑人的折磨，且不能说出一个字。他成功了，公主获得自由，他们结了婚，他成为了金山之王。
他们幸福地生活了八年，并有了一个儿子。国王思念父亲，渴望探望。尽管王后有不好的预感，她还是给了他一个许愿戒指用于旅程，让他承诺不用戒指把她和儿子带到他身边。他伪装成牧羊人探望了父母。当父亲怀疑他的国王身份时，国王一时冲动违背了承诺，用戒指召来了妻儿。
王后对他食言感到愤怒。后来，当国王枕着她的膝入睡时，她偷走了戒指，带着孩子许愿回到了自己的王国，只留下一只拖鞋。国王被困，继续前行。他遇到三个为遗产争吵的巨人：一把能斩下除持有者外所有人头的剑、一件隐身斗篷和一双一步千里的靴子。通过巧妙测试，他得到了所有三件宝物。
利用靴子，他回到金山，却发现王后正在与他人举行婚礼。借助斗篷隐身，他通过偷走王后盘中的食物和酒来扰乱宴会。跟着沮丧的王后来到她的房间，他现出身形，直面她的背叛，宣布婚礼结束。当聚集的贵族嘲笑他时，他用魔法剑斩下了所有人的头，重新夺回了王位，成为真正的金山之王。
