特鲁得太太的故事正文：
从前，有个又固执好奇心又强的小姑娘，无论她父母要她干什么她总是不服从。这样的孩子会有什么好结果呢?
有一天她问父母：“我总听人们说起特鲁得太太，说她的一切都与众不同，她家里尽是些希奇古怪的东西。我太好奇了，哪天我一定得去看看。”她父母坚决反对，说：“特鲁得是个坏女人，尽干坏事。你要是去了就不是我们的孩子了。”可是姑娘并没因父母的阻止而回心转意。当她来到特鲁得太太家时，特鲁得问她：“你的脸色怎么这么苍白啊?”“唉呀，”她浑身发抖地回答说，“我被见到的那些东西吓坏了。”“你看到什么了?”“我在台阶上看到一个黑色的人。”“那是烧炭的。”“后来看到一个绿色的人。”“那是猎人。”“后来还看到一个血红血红的人。”“那是屠夫。”“唉呀，特鲁得太太，我从窗口望进来，看到的不是你，而是火头魔鬼本人。我不会看错的，真吓死了!”
“哦!”特鲁得说，“看来你的确看到了穿着平常服饰的巫婆了。我早就想要你了，已等了这么久，你可以让我这儿亮一点呢。”说罢将姑娘变成了一段木头，扔进了火堆。木头熊熊燃烧起来，巫婆靠近火堆取暖，说：“它亮一阵子就会熄灭的。”
《特鲁得太太读后感》：好奇心是每个都有的，但有时候好奇心太强也不是一件好事，文章中的小女孩就是因为好奇心太强而害了自己。父母总是不会害我们的，在日常生活中我们应该多听从一下父母的意见，不要盲目的追求一些不切实际的东西，这样只会伤害到自己。
特鲁得太太英文版：
Once upon a time, there was a stubborn and curious little girl. No matter what her parents asked her to do, she always disobeyed. What good results will such a child have?
One day she asked her parents, "I always hear people talk about Mrs. Trude, saying that everything about her is different and that her family is full of strange things. I'm so curious that I must go and see it one day." her parents firmly objected and said, "Trude is a bad woman and does all kinds of bad things. If you go, you won't be our child." But the girl didn't change her mind because her parents stopped her. When she came to Mrs. Trude's house, Trude asked her, "Why are you so pale?" "Oh," she replied tremblingly, "I'm frightened by what I saw." "what do you see?" "I saw a black man on the steps." "it was burning charcoal." "then I saw a green man." "it was a hunter." "Then I saw a bloody man." "that's the butcher." "Oh, Mrs. Trude, I looked in from the window and saw not you, but the fire devil himself. I won't be wrong. I'm scared to death!"
"Oh!" said Trude, "it seems that you did see the witch in ordinary clothes. I've wanted you for a long time. You can let me shine here." after that, he turned the girl into a piece of wood and threw it into the fire. The wood was burning. The witch approached the fire to keep warm and said, "it will go out after a while."
