The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

There used to be a girl who was very lazy and didn't want to spin anyhow.

Finally one day, my mother felt she couldn't bear it, so she beat her, and she started to cry. At this time, the queen drove past the door and heard the crying. She ordered the car to stop and asked the mother why she beat her daughter. The mother is ashamed to say how lazy her daughter is, so she replied, "I told her not to spin anymore, but she just didn’t listen, and she still kept spinning on the spinning wheel. I’m poor, how can I buy it? Raise so much flax."

The queen heard this and said, "I love spinning the most. Let your daughter go into the palace with me. I have flax. She can spin as much as she wants."

When the mother heard this, she was delighted in her heart, and she agreed, and the queen took the girl away.

After they arrived at the palace, the queen led the girl upstairs and showed her the three warehouses. The warehouses were filled with the best linen. "Here, you can spin these flax for me," said the queen, "when you finish spinning, marry my eldest son."

There was a panic in the girl's heart-even if she spun from morning to night every day, when she was three hundred years old, she would never have finished spinning so much linen. When the girl was left alone, she started to cry. She just sat weeping, and three days passed, she hadn't even started spinning. On the third day, the girl didn't know what to do, she came to the window worriedly. Just then she saw three women approaching: the first woman had a wide and flat foot; the second had a very long lower lip, drooping to the chin; and the third had a very wide thumb . The three women walked to the window and stopped, and asked the girl why she was worried, so she told them her troubles.

"As long as you don't think we are ashamed," they said to the girl, "invite us to your wedding, say we are your cousin, and let us have a wedding wine at the same table with you, we will help you finish spinning the linen."

"I'm very happy," the girl replied.

After all, the girl let these three strange-looking women come in. They started spinning as soon as they sat down. Every time after the queen, the girl hid the three spinning girls for fear that the queen would find out, and let the queen see the yarn already spun. After the queen saw it, she was full of praise.

After all the linen in the warehouse was spun, the three weavers bid farewell to the girl and said to her before leaving, "Don't forget the promise you made to us. This is related to your own happiness. "

The girl led the queen to see the three empty storerooms and the yarn piled up like a hill, and the queen arranged the wedding.

"I have three cousins," the girl said, "They treat me very well. When I am happy, I do not want to be indifferent to them. Please allow me to invite them to the wedding and let them meet us at the wedding banquet. sit together."

The queen and prince readily agreed. On the day of the wedding, three spinning girls really came. They dress up weirdly, very funny. The bride immediately greeted him and said, "Welcome you, dear cousins."

"How come your cousins ​​are so ugly?" the prince asked. Then, he turned around and walked to the bigfoot woman and asked, "How can your foot be so big?"

"Step on the spinning wheel," she replied.

The bridegroom walked to the second woman again and asked, "Why are your lips drooping?"

"Licking the twine," she replied.

Then he asked the third woman: "How can your thumb be so wide?"

"Twist the twine," she replied.

After hearing the answers of the three, the prince was shocked, so he said: "My beautiful bride will never touch the spinning wheel again."

In this way, girls no longer have to do the nasty job of spinning.
