绘本简介：

《三个强盗》的开篇，和其他老故事一模一样。故事第一句，便是“从前有三个凶狠的强盗(Once upon a time there were three fierce robbers)”，作者没有告诉我们强盗的名字，也没有交代强盗的身世背景，只告诉我们三个强盗的武器分别是“喇叭枪”、“胡椒喷雾器”，“红板斧”。

绘本原版英文内容：

Once upon a time there were three fierce robbers. They went about hidden under large black capes and tall black hats.

The first had a blunderbuss. The second had a pepper-blower. And the third had a huge red axe. In the dark of night they walked the roads, searching for victims.

They terrified everyone. Brave women fainted. Brave men ran. Dogs fled.

To stop carriages, the robbers blew pepper in the horses’ eyes. With the axe, they smashed the carriage wheels. And with the blunderbuss, they threatened the passengers and plundered them.

The robbers’ hide-out was a cave high up in the mountains. There they carried their loot. They had trunks full of gold, jewels, money, watches, wedding rings, and precious stones.

But one bitter, black night the robbers stopped a carriage that had but one passenger, an orphan named Tiffany. She was on her way to live with a wicked aunt.

Tiffany was delighted to meet the robbers. Since there was no treasure but Tiffany, the thieves bundled her in a warm cape and carried her away.

They made up a soft bed for her in a corner of the cave. And there she slept. The next morning she awoke a find herself surrounded by trunks of glittering riches.

“What is all this for?” she asked. The robbers choked and sputtered. They had never thought of spending their wealth. So to use their treasure they gathered up

all the lost, unhappy, and abandoned children they could find. They bought a beautiful castle where all of them could live.
