The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, a mother gave birth to three daughters. The eldest daughter is impolite and bad-minded; although the second daughter has shortcomings, she is much better than the eldest daughter; only the younger daughter is filial and well-behaved. But this mother is very weird. She just likes the eldest daughter the most, but she doesn't like the little one, and she thinks about getting rid of her all day long. So she often asked the poor girl to go to a large forest outside, so that she could get lost and never return home, so that she could be driven away. But every good child has his own protection angel, and the angel did not abandon her, and guided her the right way home every time. Once the protector didn't seem to be in front of her, and the little girl couldn't find a way out of the forest. She kept walking and walking until night fell. At this moment, she saw a faint light ahead, and immediately ran forward and came to a small wooden house. She knocked on the door, and the door opened; she walked to the second door, knocked again, and a respectable old man with a white beard opened the door for her. This is no one else, it is Saint Joseph himself. The old man said kindly to the girl: "Come in! My dear child, sit on my little chair by the fire and warm yourself up! You are thirsty! I'll get you some water to drink, and there is nothing to do in the forest. There are only a few carrots for you to eat. You have to scrape them before cooking."

Saint Joseph handed her the radishes, and the little girl carefully shaved them off, and then took out the pancakes and bread cubes that her mother asked her to bring. She put everything in the pot and boiled a pot of porridge. After the porridge was ready, St. Joseph spoke: "I'm very hungry, give me some porridge to drink!" The little girl was very happy to pour half of the porridge for the old man. But with God's blessing, she was still full. After eating, Saint Joseph said, "It's time to go to bed now, but I only have one bed. Go to bed and I will sleep on the grass on the ground." "Oh, no," the little girl said "It's better for you to sleep on the bed! The grass is soft enough for me." But Joseph picked up the little girl and put her on the bed. After the girl prayed, she fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, she wanted to say "Good morning" to the old man but found out that he was no longer there. She hurried to get up to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen, and finally she found a bag of money left behind the door, just enough for her to carry it. It says: To the girl who slept here last night. After seeing these words, the little girl picked up her purse and went home. She returned to her mother safely and gave all the money to her mother. The mother had no choice but to express satisfaction with her.

The next day, the second daughter also wanted to go into the forest enthusiastically. Mother gave a much larger pancake and bread. The situation she encountered was the same as that of her younger sister. In the evening, she also came to St. Joseph's cabin. The old man handed her the carrots and asked her to make porridge. After the porridge was ready, the old man also said to her: "I'm very hungry, give me a little bit of your share!" The little girl said, "I can drink together!" After the meal, St. Joseph gave him She gave her her bed, and she wanted to sleep on the grass. The girl said, “No, let’s lie down on the bed. This bed is enough for the two of us.” St. Joseph picked her up and put her on the bed. Lying on the grass and fell asleep.

The next morning, the girl woke up to find Saint Joseph, who was gone. But behind the door the girl found a slap-sized money bag, which read: For the child who slept here last night. The girl picked up the purse and ran back home, gave the purse to her mother, but kept two dollars privately.

The eldest daughter had long been curious, and insisted on entering the big forest the next day. Mother gave her as many pancakes as she wanted, and added some bread and cheese. At night, like two younger sisters, she also found St. Joseph's cabin. When the porridge was ready, St. Joseph said: "I'm very hungry, give me some of your food!" The answer was: "What is the hurry! What is the hurry! When I am full, you will not be too late to eat. !" But she ate almost nothing left, and the old man could only scrape the bottom of the plate. After the meal, the old man asked her to sleep on her own bed, preparing to sleep on the grass. The girl did not refuse, lay down on the bed and fell asleep on her own, leaving the sturdy straw pavement to the old man. She woke up the next morning and found that the old man was gone. She didn't bother to look for it, so she walked until the door to find the purse. She seemed to find something on the ground, but because she couldn't tell what it was, she bent down and accidentally touched the thing with the tip of her nose. She stood up and saw that the other nose was connected to her own. She was panicked for a while and began to yell. But that didn't work at all. The old elder's nose stretched out so long that he had to watch it if he didn't want to. She screamed and ran out of the house, and met Saint Joseph again. She knelt at the feet of the old man and kept begging for sympathy. Finally, out of sympathy, the old man took off her nose and gave her two coins before she returned home. Mother was standing in front of the door, and when she saw her, she asked, "What did you get?" She lied quickly and said, "A bag of gold, I got a bag of gold, but I threw it away on the road. "So my mother took her by the hand and asked her to go find the gold together. At first she cried and didn't want to go, but then she went. There were so many lizards and snakes pounced on them on the road. They had nothing to do. In the end they bit the evil child to death, and the mother’s foot was also bitten because she did not educate her daughter well. .
