    "There was once a poor servant-girl who was industrious and cleanly and swept the house every day, and emptied her sweepings on the great heap in front of the door. One morning when she was just going back to her work, she found a letter on this heap, and as she could not read, she put her broom in the corner, and took the letter to her employers, and behold it was an invitation from the elves, who asked the girl to hold a child for them at its christening. The girl did not know what to do, but, at length, after much persuasion, and as they told her that it was not right to refuse an invitation of this kind, she consented.",
    "Then three elves came and conducted her to a hollow mountain, where the little folks lived. Everything there was small, but more elegant and beautiful than can be described. The baby's mother lay in a bed of black ebony ornamented with pearls, the covers were embroidered with gold, the cradle was of ivory, the bath-tub of gold. The girl stood as godmother, and then wanted to go home again, but the little elves urgently entreated her to stay three days with them. So she stayed, and passed the time in pleasure and gaiety, and the little folks did all they could to make her happy. At last she set out on her way home. But first they filled her pockets quite full of money, and then they led her out of the mountain again. When she got home, she wanted to to begin her work, and took the broom, which was still standing in the corner, in her hand and began to sweep. Then some strangers came out of the house, who asked her who she was, and what business she had there. And she had not, as she thought, been three days with the little men in the mountains, but seven years, and in the meantime her former masters had died.",
    "A certain mother had her child taken out of its cradle by the elves, and a changeling with a large head and staring eyes, which would do nothing but eat and drink, lay in its place. In her trouble she went to her neighbor, and asked her advice. The neighbour said that she was to carry the changeling into the kitchen, set it down on the hearth, light a fire, and boil some water in two egg-shells, which would make the changeling laugh, and if he laughed, all would be over with him. The woman did everything that her neighbor bade her. When she put the egg-shells with water on the fire, goggle-eyes said, I am as old now as the wester forest, but never yet have I seen anyone boil anything in an egg-shell. And he began to laugh at it.",
    "Whilst he was laughing, suddenly came a host of little elves, who brought the right child, set it down on the hearth, and took the changeling away with them."

She could not read it, so she put down her broom. She took the letter to her boss. It was an invitation from the elves! They asked the girl to hold a baby at its special party. The girl did not know what to say. But after they asked her nicely, she agreed to help.",
    "Then three elves came and took her hand. They led her to a hollow mountain, where the tiny people lived. Everything there was small, but it was beautiful and fancy. The baby's mother lay in a bed made of dark wood, covered in soft white pearls. The blankets were shiny and gold. The cradle was made of smooth ivory, and the bath was made of bright gold. The girl stood as a godmother, and then she wanted to go home. But the little elves asked her to stay for three days. So she stayed and had so much fun. The tiny people did everything they could to make her smile. At last, she started to walk home. But first, they filled her pockets with money. Then, they led her out of the mountain again.",
    "When she got home, she wanted to start her work. She picked up the broom and began to sweep. Then, some strangers came out of the house. They asked her who she was and what she was doing there. She had not been with the little men in the mountains for just three days. It had actually been seven years! In that time, her old masters had passed away.",
    "The mother was very worried. She took the strange baby to her neighbor for help. The neighbor said, \"Put the baby on the warm hearth. Light a fire and boil water in two egg-shells. If he laughs, he will be gone forever.\" The mother did exactly what she was told. When she put the egg-shells on the fire, the baby said, \"I am as old as the big forest, but I have never seen anyone boil water in an egg-shell!\" Then, he started to laugh.",
    "While he was laughing, suddenly a group of tiny elves appeared. They brought the real child back and gently set him down by the warm fire. Then, they picked up the strange child and took him away with them."
