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.
