A
widow loved her own ugly and unpleasant daughter just as much as she
disliked her lovely, kind stepdaughter. She made the stepdaughter do all
the hardest work in the house, and the girl obeyed her without
complaint.
One day, the stepmother sent her out to the well to get water, and
there she met an old woman who asked her for a drink. The kind young
girl served the old woman as if she were a queen, In truth that old
woman was a fairy in disguise, and she was so moved by the young girl’s
kindness that she rewarded her with an extraordinary gift, every time
she spoke, from her lips, along with the words, fell flowers and
diamonds.
The stepmother was furious when she heard what had happened to her
stepdaughter. Immediately she sent her own daughter to the well, so that
she could come back with the same gift. This time, the fairy appeared
in the form of queen. But when she asked for a drink, the young woman
said rudely,’ if you want a drink, get it yourself.’
‘You are most unkind,’said the fairy,’and for that i will give you a very different reward’.
And thereafter, whenever the unkind girl began to speak, her rude words
could actually be seen in the snakes and toads that fell from her lips.
