很久很久以前。（童话故事）

很久很久以前，这里有一个由兽人组成的王国。因为勇士渴望着所有的人民都能够安居乐业，健康无忧长命百岁，于是他决定前往迷都去征讨魔龙，取得迷宫最深处的宝藏，一颗挂在树梢上的金苹果。在迷宫的门口有一头老狼王。他对这位勇士说道。来吧，孩子击败我，如果你不能击败我，那你去那危险的迷宫深处便是。便是活活的送命。勇士说道。不，为了我的王国的子民，我必须前去，我想要他们无病无灾，而不整日生活在病痛之中。随后便坚定的走上前去接受了这一项考验，经过一番激烈的战斗，勇士取得了胜利。狼王说道。孩子，你赢了去吧。咳咳，不用管，我只是在这场战斗中受了一些小伤。

不，这不是小伤，勇士说道。我因为的我的失误，让你受了如此重的伤，我又怎能离去。不，你只要前往迷宫深处带回来金苹果，那这点小伤又算什么，只要你愿意把那金苹果分给我一点点，我一定会比任何时刻都要健康。这是我的一点积蓄，你拿去吧。有时见狼王的态度坚定无奈的离去了。心里却默念道我会记住您的，我一定会记住您的。后来在冒险的征途上又是遇到了一只友善的小鸟，陪他在沙堡里玩了一会儿捉迷藏，丹尼尔便把他贴身的护符送给了他，说这一定会在将来的旅途上派上用处。他又遇到了一头在冰天雪地中的麋鹿。麋鹿对他展开了一场速度的考验，考验通过后路，将他的一只鹿角折断送给了他。后来他又遇到了一个石头人，石头人说你只要能够破开我的防御，那你一定能用你的利刃划破魔龙的身躯。勇士在他的指导下，对着它砍了一天一夜，才将他最厚实的铠甲彻底砍碎。石头人又将他被砍碎的铠甲送给了勇士，当作最后的饯行。后来勇士在面对魔龙时用狼王赋予他的勇气，鹿王赋予它的敏捷，无数次给予魔龙重创。又在命悬一线时被那只鸟儿给予的图腾在魔龙的吐息下活过了一命。而石头人给他的铠甲在保护着他，让他不至于在受到重创时无法重新站起。经历了七天七夜的战斗，我们的勇士他终于取得了胜利，从一棵高大的金苹果树上取得了9颗金灿灿，在第一抹夕阳落下时生长出的金苹果。可当他往返时，却早已物是人非。石头人因为失去了他的防御，风化成了他最初的样子。鹿王因为失去了它的角。不复以往的敏捷，无法在雪地上奔跑，被埋葬在了他所出生的地方。那只大鸟因为失去了他的图腾。再也无法在沙漠中隐藏自己的踪迹。至于那只狼王。早就躺在血泊之中了。勇者忍着悲痛将一部分的金苹果发给群众，可最终却剩下了一颗，还将那一颗酿成了酒，洒在了那些帮助他的同伴身前。

后来啊，人们为了纪念他的故事，采摘下迷宫旁生长的苹果，用特制的染料将它们染成金色，酿成酒，洒在故人面前，又或者一饮而尽来，祝逝去之人灵魂安息，在世之人健康无忧。

这里为了看起来更像西方的童话故事，所以增加了英文版本，（由AI倾情翻译）

Once upon, a time, there was a kingdom of beastfolk. Wishing for his people to live in peace, free from illness and blessed with long lives, a brave warrior set out for the Labyrinth City to slay a dragon and claim the treasure hidden in the deepest chamber: a golden apple hanging from the treetop.

At the entrance of the labyrinth stood an ancient Wolf King. "Come, child," the Wolf King said. "Defeat me. If you cannot, then venturing into the perilous depths of the maze would be nothing but a death sentence."

"No," the warrior replied. "For the sake of my kingdom's people, I must go. I wish for them to be free from suffering, not to live their days in pain." With that, he stepped forward resolutely to face the trial.

After a fierce battle, the warrior emerged victorious. "Child, you have won. Go," the Wolf King said, coughing slightly. "Do not worry about me. It is but a minor wound from this fight."

"No, this is no minor wound," the warrior insisted. "Because of my own misstep, you are gravely injured. How could I simply walk away?"

"Nay. As long as you journey into the labyrinth's heart and bring back the golden apple, what does this wound matter? If you are willing to share even a tiny piece of the apple with me, I shall be healthier than I have ever been. Here, take my savings. Go." Seeing the Wolf King's unwavering resolve, the warrior had no choice but to leave, murmuring in his heart, I will remember you. I will never forget you.

Later on his journey, he met a friendly great bird. They spent a while playing hide-and-seek in a sandcastle. Before parting, the bird gifted him its personal amulet, saying, "This will surely prove useful in the trials ahead."

He then encountered a reindeer in the frozen wasteland. The reindeer tested his speed, and upon passing, it snapped off one of its own antlers and gave it to him.

Next, he met a Stone Golem. "If you can break my defense," the Golem rumbled, "you will surely be able to pierce the dragon's flesh." Under the Golem's guidance, the warrior hacked away for a day and a night, finally shattering the thickest part of its armor. The Golem then gifted the shattered armor to the warrior as a final farewell.

When facing the dragon, the warrior drew upon the courage bestowed by the Wolf King and the agility granted by the Reindeer King, landing countless devastating blows upon the beast. When his life hung by a thread, the图腾 (totem) from the great bird shielded him from the dragon's breath, saving his life. And the armor from the Stone Golem protected him, ensuring he could rise again even after taking critical damage.

After seven days and seven nights of relentless combat, our warrior finally claimed victory. From a towering golden apple tree, he plucked nine gleaming golden apples, born at the very moment the first rays of the setting sun touched the branches.

But by the time he returned, everything had changed.

The Stone Golem, having lost its defense, had weathered away into the dust, returning to its original form. The Reindeer King, stripped of its antler, had lost its former agility; unable to run across the snow, it had been buried in the very land of its birth. The great bird, without its totem, could no longer hide its tracks in the desert. And as for the Wolf King... he had long since lain in a pool of his own blood.

Braving his profound grief, the warrior distributed the golden apples among his people. In the end, only one remained. He brewed that final apple into wine and poured it upon the ground before his fallen companions.

Years later, to honor his tale, the people began to gather apples growing beside the labyrinth. They dyed them golden with special tinctures and brewed them into wine. They would pour the wine upon the ground before their departed loved ones, or drink it to the very last drop, praying for the souls of the deceased to rest in peace, and for the living to be forever free from illness and sorrow.Years later, to honor his tale, the people began to gather apples growing beside the labyrinth.
