v2 ¶1

There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, "You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us." They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.

v3 ¶1

Once there was a woman with three daughters. The oldest girl had only one eye in the middle of her forehead. The second girl had two eyes, just like everyone else. The youngest girl had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. But because Two-Eyes saw just like normal people, her sisters and her mother could not stand her. They said, "You with your two eyes are no better than the common people. You do not belong to us." They pushed her around and threw old clothes at her. They gave her nothing to eat but what was left over, and they did everything they could to make her feel very sad.

v2 ¶2

It came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, "Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?" Two-Eyes answered, "Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave. Today they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry."

v3 ¶2

One day, Two-Eyes had to go out to the fields to watch the goats. She was still very hungry because her sisters had given her so little to eat. She sat down on a hill and started to cry. Her tears fell down her cheeks like two little streams. Suddenly, a kind woman appeared beside her. The woman asked, "Why are you crying, little Two-Eyes?" Two-Eyes looked up and said, "I have a good reason to cry. I have two eyes just like everyone else, but my sisters and my mother hate me for it. They push me away and give me old clothes. They give me nothing to eat but the scraps left over. Today they gave me so little that I am still very hungry.

v2 ¶3

Then the wise woman said, "Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes, and I will tell you something to stop your ever suffering from hunger again. Just say to your goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before you with the most delicious food upon it of which you may eat as much as you are inclined for, and when you have had enough, and have no more need of the little table, just say, `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, and take the table quite away,' and then it will vanish again from your sight." Hereupon the wise woman departed.

v3 ¶3

Then the wise woman said, "Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes. I will tell you a secret to stop you from ever feeling hungry again. Just say to your goat, 'Bleat, my little goat, bleat, and make a table full of food.' Then, a clean little table will appear with the most delicious treats. You can eat as much as you like. When you are full, just say, 'Bleat, bleat, my little goat, and take the table away.' Then it will disappear." The wise woman smiled and went away.

v2 ¶4

But Two-Eyes thought, "I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry," and she said - "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat," and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon, and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-Eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, "Lord God, be our guest forever, amen," and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it.

v3 ¶4

But Two-Eyes was very hungry. She thought, "I must try this magic. I need to eat." So she said softly, "Bleat, little goat. Bleat. Please make a table for me." In a flash, a small table appeared. It had a white cloth and a plate with a knife and fork. A shiny silver spoon sat right next to it. The food looked so good. It was warm and smelled sweet, just like a treat from the kitchen. Two-Eyes said a quick prayer. "Dear God, thank you for our food. Amen." Then she sat down and ate happily.

v2 ¶5

And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her - "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away," and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. That is a delightful way of keeping house, thought Two-Eyes, and was quite glad and happy.

v3 ¶5

When she was happy with the food, she said the magic words her wise friend had taught her. "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away." In a flash, the little table and all the food disappeared. Two-Eyes thought that was a wonderful trick. She felt so happy and cozy in her heart.

v2 ¶6

In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not notice it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, "There is something wrong about Two-Eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her, she must have discovered other ways of getting food."

v3 ¶6

When she came home with her goat in the evening, she found a small bowl with food. Her sisters had made it for her, but she did not touch it. The next day, she went out with her goat again. She left the few pieces of bread they gave her, and she did not eat them. At first, her sisters did not notice anything. But because she did it every day, they saw it. They said, "There is something strange about Two-Eyes. She always leaves her food. She used to eat everything, so she must have found another way to get food.

v2 ¶7

In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-Eye with Two-Eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-Eyes did when she was there, and whether anyone brought her anything to eat and drink.

v3 ¶7

One-Eye and Two-Eyes wanted to know the truth. So, they made a plan. When Two-Eyes went to take her goat to the green grass, One-Eye went with her. One-Eye hid and watched closely. She wanted to see if anyone came to bring Two-Eyes food or a drink.

v2 ¶8

So when Two-Eyes set out the next time, One-Eye went to her and said, "I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-Eyes knew what was in One-Eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "Come, One-Eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you." One-Eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes sang constantly - "One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?"

v3 ¶8

So when Two-Eyes went out again, One-Eye ran over to her. "I will come with you to the pasture," she said. "I will watch the goat and make sure it has plenty of food." But Two-Eyes knew what One-Eye was thinking. She led the goat into tall, green grass. "Come, One-Eye," she said softly. "Let us sit down. I will sing a song for you." One-Eye sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the warm sun. Two-Eyes sang over and over again, "One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?

v2 ¶9

Until One-Eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat," and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried - "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away," and in an instant all had vanished. Two-Eyes now awakened One-Eye, and said, "One-Eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, but in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again."

v3 ¶9

One-Eye closed her single eye and fell fast asleep. As soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was sleeping and could not see, she whispered softly, "Bleat, my little goat, bleat." She covered the table with yummy food. She sat down and ate and drank until she was full. Then she called out again, "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, please take the table away." In a blink, everything was gone. Two-Eyes woke One-Eye up. "One-Eye, you need to watch the goat, but you can sleep while you do it," Two-Eyes said. "If you sleep, the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home now.

v2 ¶10

So they went home, and again Two-Eyes let her dish stand untouched, and One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, "I fell asleep when I was out." Next day the mother said to Three-Eyes, this time you shall go and observe if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out, and if anyone fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret. So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes, and said, "I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-Eyes knew what was in Three-Eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-Eyes."

v3 ¶10

So they went home. Again, Two-Eyes left her dish untouched. One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat. To make an excuse, she said, "I fell asleep when I was out." The next day, the mother spoke to Three-Eyes. "This time, you shall go and watch," she said. "See if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out. See if anyone brings her food and drink. She must eat and drink in secret." So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes. "I will go with you," she said. "I want to see if the goat is taken care of and driven to where there is food." But Two-Eyes knew what Three-Eyes was thinking. She drove the goat into tall, green grass. "We will sit down," she said softly. "I will sing a song for you, Three-Eyes.

v2 ¶11

Three-Eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes began the same song as before, and sang - "Three-Eyes, are you waking?"

v3 ¶11

Three-Eyes sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the hot sun. Two-Eyes started to sing the same song again. She sang softly, "Three-Eyes, are you waking?

v2 ¶12

But then, instead of singing - "Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?"

v3 ¶12

But then, instead of singing, they whispered, "Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?

v2 ¶13

As she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang - "Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?"

v3 ¶13

As she should have, she sang out without thinking, "Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?

v2 ¶14

And sang all the time - "Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?"

v3 ¶14

And she sang all the time, "Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?

v2 ¶15

Then two of the eyes which Three-Eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when two-eyes thought that three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm - "Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat," and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again, "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away," and Three-Eyes had seen everything. Then Two-Eyes came to her, waked her and said, "Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, we will go home."

v3 ¶15

Then two of Three-Eyes’s eyes closed and went to sleep. But the third eye stayed awake. It had not been named in the song, so it did not sleep. Three-Eyes tried to trick it. She closed it tight, but it blinked and saw everything clearly. When Three-Eyes thought she was fast asleep, Two-Eyes used her magic spell. "Bleat, my little goat, bleat! Cover the table with something to eat." Two-Eyes ate and drank as much as she wanted. Then she sent the table away. "Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, Take the table quite away." Three-Eyes saw it all. Two-Eyes woke her up and said, "Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, let us go home.

v2 ¶16

And when they got home, Two-Eyes again did not eat, and Three-Eyes said to the mother, "Now, I know why that haughty thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says - `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,' and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by means of a charm, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake."

v3 ¶16

When they got home, Two-Eyes did not eat. Three-Eyes spoke to the mother. "Now I know why that proud girl does not eat. When she is out, she talks to the goat. She says, 'Bleat, my little goat, bleat. Make a table with food.' Then a small table appears with the best food, much better than ours. When she is full, she says, 'Bleat, bleat, my little goat. Take the table away.' Then it disappears. I watched her closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep with magic, but luckily the eye on my forehead stayed awake.

v2 ¶17

Then the envious mother cried, "Do you want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass from you," and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead. When Two-Eyes saw that, she went out full of sadness, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, "Two-Eyes, why are you weeping?" "Have I not reason to weep?" she answered. "The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want."

v3 ¶17

Then the envious mother cried, "Do you want to have a better life than we do? I will take that wish away from you." She grabbed a sharp knife and killed the goat. The poor animal fell down and did not move. When Two-Eyes saw this, she felt very sad. She went outside and sat on the grass at the edge of the field. She cried big, sad tears. Suddenly, the kind woman appeared next to her. She asked, "Two-Eyes, why are you crying?" "I have a good reason to cry," she answered. "The goat used to bring food to my table every day. My mother killed it, and now I will have to go hungry again.

v2 ¶18

The wise woman said, "Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice, ask your sisters to give you the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made." Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home and said to her sisters, "Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat, I do not wish for what is good, but give me the entrails." Then they laughed and said, "If that is all you want, you can have it." So Two-Eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counseled her to do.

v3 ¶18

The wise woman said, "Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice. Ask your sisters to give you the soft parts of the goat. Bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made." Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home. She said to her sisters, "Dear sisters, please give me some part of my goat. I do not want the good parts, but give me the soft parts." Then they laughed and said, "If that is all you want, you can have it." So Two-Eyes took the soft parts and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, just as the wise woman had told her to do.

v2 ¶19

Next morning, when they all awoke, and went to the house-door, there stood a strangely magnificent tree with leaves of silver, and fruit of gold hanging among them, so that in all the wide world there was nothing more beautiful or precious. They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-Eye, "Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us." One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might.

v3 ¶19

Next morning, when they all woke up and went to the house door, they saw a beautiful tree. It had leaves of silver and fruit of gold hanging among them. It was the most wonderful thing in the whole world. They did not know how the tree got there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the goat. It was standing right where she had buried the goat. Then the mother said to One-Eye, "Climb up, my child, and pick some of the fruit for us." One-Eye climbed up, but when she tried to get a golden apple, the branch slipped away. That happened every time, so she could not pick a single apple, no matter how hard she tried.

v2 ¶20

Then said the mother, "Three-Eyes, you climb up, you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-Eye." One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and might try as she would, but the golden apples always escaped her.

v3 ¶20

Then the mother said, "Three-Eyes, you climb up. You have three eyes, so you can look around better than One-Eye." One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and she tried as hard as she could, but the golden apples always slipped away from her.

v2 ¶21

At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-Eyes, "Let me go up, perhaps I may succeed better." The sisters cried, "You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?" But Two-Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not avoid her, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-Eyes any better for this, she and One-Eye and Three-Eyes were only envious, because Two-Eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.

v3 ¶21

At last the mother got impatient. She climbed up the tree herself, but she could not reach the fruit either. She tried to grab it, but her hands only touched empty air. Then Two-Eyes spoke up. "Let me try," she said. "Maybe I can get the fruit better than you can." The sisters laughed. "You? With only two eyes? What good will that do?" But Two-Eyes climbed up anyway. The golden apples did not run away from her. They floated right into her hands. She picked them one by one and filled her apron. She brought them all down to the ground. The mother took the fruit away from her. She did not thank Two-Eyes. She was just jealous. She and her sisters were angry that Two-Eyes was the only one who could get the fruit. They were even meaner to her than before.

v2 ¶22

It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. "Quick, Two-Eyes," cried the two sisters, "creep under this, and do not disgrace us," and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-Eyes, and they swept the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, "To whom does this fine tree belong? Anyone who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired." Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch.

v3 ¶22

One day, while they were all standing by the tree, a young knight walked up. "Quick, Two-Eyes," cried the two sisters. "Crawl under here and don't let them see you." They quickly turned an empty barrel that was near the tree over poor Two-Eyes. They also swept the golden apples she had been gathering under it. When the knight came closer, he was a handsome lord. He stopped and looked at the beautiful tree with gold and silver leaves. He said to the sisters, "Whose tree is this? I will give you a branch if you let me have it. In return, I will give you anything you want." Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes said the tree belonged to them and that they would give him a branch.

v2 ¶23

They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, "It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should not have the power to break a piece off." They again asserted that the tree was their property.

v3 ¶23

They tried very hard to pick the fruit, but the branches just moved away. Then the knight said, "It is strange that the tree is yours, but you cannot break a piece off." They said again that the tree really did belong to them.

v2 ¶24

Whilst they were saying so, Two-Eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, "Two-Eyes, come forth." Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, "You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me." "Yes," replied Two-Eyes, "that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me."

v3 ¶24

Two-Eyes rolled two shiny golden apples out from under the barrel. She did this because she was a little sad that her sisters were not telling the truth. When the knight saw the apples, he was very surprised. He asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes said they had another sister who had to stay hidden because she only had two eyes, just like everyone else. The knight really wanted to meet her. He called out, "Two-Eyes, please come out." Two-Eyes felt much better and stepped out from under the barrel. The knight was amazed by how beautiful she was. He said, "You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break a branch from the tree for me." "Yes," Two-Eyes replied, "I can certainly do that, because the tree belongs to me.

v2 ¶25

And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, "Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?" "Alas, answered two-eyes, "I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy." So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.

v3 ¶25

She climbed up and easily broke off a branch with shiny silver leaves and sweet golden fruit. She gave it to the knight. Then the knight asked, "Two-Eyes, what can I give you for it?" "Oh, I am so hungry and thirsty," Two-Eyes said softly. "I am sad and lonely all day long. If you would take me with you and be my friend, I would be so happy." So the knight lifted Two-Eyes onto his horse. He took her to his father's big castle. There, he gave her beautiful clothes to wear and plenty of food and drink. He loved her very much, so he married her. The wedding was full of happy music and laughter.

v2 ¶26

When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. "The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us," thought they, "and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us." But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.

v3 ¶26

When Two-Eyes was carried away by the kind knight, her two sisters were very jealous. They thought, "The magic tree is still here with us. Even if we cannot pick fruit, everyone will stop to look at it. They will come to us and say how pretty it is. Maybe good things will happen to us." But the next morning, the tree was gone. Their hopes were gone, too. When Two-Eyes looked out her window, she was so happy to see it standing right there. It had followed her all the way home.

v2 ¶27

Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth.

v3 ¶27

Two-Eyes lived a happy life for a long time. One day, two poor women came to her castle and asked for help. She looked at them and saw her sisters, One-Eye and Three-Eyes. They had fallen into such hard times that they had to ask for food at many doors. Two-Eyes was kind to them. She made them feel at home and took care of them. Her sisters were very sorry for the mean things they had done to her when they were young.

"There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, \"You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us.\" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.",
"It came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, \"Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?\" Two-Eyes answered, \"Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave. Today they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry.\" Then the wise woman said, \"Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes, and I will tell you something to stop your ever suffering from hunger again. Just say to your goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before you with the most delicious food upon it of which you may eat as much as you are inclined for, and when you have had enough, and have no more need of the little table, just say, `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, and take the table quite away,' and then it will vanish again from your sight.\" Hereupon the wise woman departed. But Two-Eyes thought, \"I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry,\" and she said - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon, and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-Eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, \"Lord God, be our guest forever, amen,\" and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it. And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. That is a delightful way of keeping house, thought Two-Eyes, and was quite glad and happy.",
"In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not notice it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, \"There is something wrong about Two-Eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her, she must have discovered other ways of getting food.\" In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-Eye with Two-Eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-Eyes did when she was there, and whether anyone brought her anything to eat and drink.",
"So when Two-Eyes set out the next time, One-Eye went to her and said, \"I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in One-Eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"Come, One-Eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you.\" One-Eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes sang constantly - \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?\" Until One-Eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and in an instant all had vanished. Two-Eyes now awakened One-Eye, and said, \"One-Eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, but in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again.\"",
"So they went home, and again Two-Eyes let her dish stand untouched, and One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\" Next day the mother said to Three-Eyes, this time you shall go and observe if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out, and if anyone fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret. So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes, and said, \"I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in Three-Eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-Eyes.\" Three-Eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes began the same song as before, and sang - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?\"",
"But then, instead of singing - \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"As she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang - \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"And sang all the time - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"Then two of the eyes which Three-Eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when two-eyes thought that three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and Three-Eyes had seen everything. Then Two-Eyes came to her, waked her and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, we will go home.\" And when they got home, Two-Eyes again did not eat, and Three-Eyes said to the mother, \"Now, I know why that haughty thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says - `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,' and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by means of a charm, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake.\"",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass from you,\" and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead. When Two-Eyes saw that, she went out full of sadness, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, \"Two-Eyes, why are you weeping?\" \"Have I not reason to weep?\" she answered. \"The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want.\" The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice, ask your sisters to give you the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home and said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat, I don't wish for what is good, but give me the entrails.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that's all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counseled her to do.",
"Next morning, when they all awoke, and went to the house-door, there stood a strangely magnificent tree with leaves of silver, and fruit of gold hanging among them, so that in all the wide world there was nothing more beautiful or precious. They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us.\" One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might. Then said the mother, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up, you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and might try as she would, but the golden apples always escaped her.",
"At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-Eyes, \"Let me go up, perhaps I may succeed better.\" The sisters cried, \"You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not avoid her, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-Eyes any better for this, she and One-Eye and Three-Eyes were only envious, because Two-Eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.",
"It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters, \"creep under this, and don't disgrace us,\" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-Eyes, and they swept the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, \"To whom does this fine tree belong? Anyone who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch. They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, \"It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should not have the power to break a piece off.\" They again asserted that the tree was their property.",
"Whilst they were saying so, Two-Eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, \"Two-Eyes, come forth.\" Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" replied Two-Eyes, \"that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me.\" And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.",
"When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.",
"Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth."

"body_text": "There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, \"You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us.\" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.\n\nIt came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, \"Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?\" Two-Eyes answered, \"Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave.

So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes, and said, \"I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in Three-Eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-Eyes.\" Three-Eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes began the same song as before, and sang - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?\"",
"But then, instead of singing - \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"As she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang - \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"And sang all the time - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"Then two of the eyes which Three-Eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when two-eyes thought that three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and Three-Eyes had seen everything. Then Two-Eyes came to her, waked her and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, we will go home.\" And when they got home, Two-Eyes again did not eat, and Three-Eyes said to the mother, \"Now, I know why that haughty thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says - `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,' and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by means of a charm, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake.\"",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass from you,\" and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead. When Two-Eyes saw that, she went out full of sadness, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, \"Two-Eyes, why are you weeping?\" \"Have I not reason to weep?\" she answered. \"The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want.\" The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice, ask your sisters to give you the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home and said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat, I don't wish for what is good, but give me the entrails.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that's all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counseled her to do.",
"Next morning, when they all awoke, and went to the house-door, there stood a strangely magnificent tree with leaves of silver, and fruit of gold hanging among them, so that in all the wide world there was nothing more beautiful or precious. They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us.\" One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might. Then said the mother, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up, you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and might try as she would, but the golden apples always escaped her.",
"At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-Eyes, \"Let me go up, perhaps I may succeed better.\" The sisters cried, \"You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not avoid her, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-Eyes any better for this, she and One-Eye and Three-Eyes were only envious, because Two-Eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.",
"It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters, \"creep under this, and don't disgrace us,\" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-Eyes, and they swept the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, \"To whom does this fine tree belong? Anyone who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch. They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, \"It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should not have the power to break a piece off.\" They again asserted that the tree was their property.",
"Whilst they were saying so, Two-Eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, \"Two-Eyes, come forth.\" Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" replied Two-Eyes, \"that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me.\" And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.",
"When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.",
"Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth."

"clean_text": "There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, \"You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us.\" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.\n\nIt came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, \"Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?\" Two-Eyes answered, \"Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave. Today they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry.\" Then the wise woman said, \"Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes, and I will tell you something to stop your ever suffering from hunger again. Just say to your goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before you with the most delicious food upon it of which you may eat as much as you are inclined for, and when you have had enough, and have no more need of the little table, just say, `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, and take the table quite away,' and then it will vanish again from your sight.\" Hereupon the wise woman departed. But Two-Eyes thought, \"I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry,\" and she said - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon, and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-Eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, \"Lord God, be our guest forever, amen,\" and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it. And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. That is a delightful way of keeping house, thought Two-Eyes, and was quite glad and happy.\n\nIn the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not notice it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, \"There is something wrong about Two-Eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her, she must have discovered other ways of getting food.\" In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-Eye with Two-Eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-Eyes did when she was there, and whether anyone brought her anything to eat and drink.\n\nSo when Two-Eyes set out the next time, One-Eye went to her and said, \"I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in One-Eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"Come, One-Eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you.\" One-Eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes sang constantly - \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?\" Until One-Eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and in an instant all had vanished. Two-Eyes now awakened One-Eye, and said, \"One-Eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, but in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again.\"\n\nSo they went home, and again Two-Eyes let her dish stand untouched, and One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\" Next day the mother said to Three-Eyes, this time you shall go and observe if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out, and if anyone fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret.

They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us.\" One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might.",
"Then said the mother, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up, you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and might try as she would, but the golden apples always escaped her.",
"At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-Eyes, \"Let me go up, perhaps I may succeed better.\" The sisters cried, \"You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not avoid her, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-Eyes any better for this, she and One-Eye and Three-Eyes were only envious, because Two-Eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.",
"It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters, \"creep under this, and don't disgrace us,\" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-Eyes, and they swept the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, \"To whom does this fine tree belong? Anyone who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch.",
"They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, \"It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should not have the power to break a piece off.\" They again asserted that the tree was their property.",
"Whilst they were saying so, Two-Eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, \"Two-Eyes, come forth.\" Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" replied Two-Eyes, \"that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me.\"",
"And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.",
"When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.",
"Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth."

"There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, \"You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us.\" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.",
"It came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, \"Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?\" Two-Eyes answered, \"Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave. Today they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry.\" Then the wise woman said, \"Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes, and I will tell you something to stop your ever suffering from hunger again. Just say to your goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before you with the most delicious food upon it of which you may eat as much as you are inclined for, and when you have had enough, and have no more need of the little table, just say, `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, and take the table quite away,' and then it will vanish again from your sight.\" Hereupon the wise woman departed. But Two-Eyes thought, \"I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry,\" and she said - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon, and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-Eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, \"Lord God, be our guest forever, amen,\" and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it. And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. That is a delightful way of keeping house, thought Two-Eyes, and was quite glad and happy.",
"In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not notice it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, \"There is something wrong about Two-Eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her, she must have discovered other ways of getting food.\" In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-Eye with Two-Eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-Eyes did when she was there, and whether anyone brought her anything to eat and drink.",
"So when Two-Eyes set out the next time, One-Eye went to her and said, \"I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in One-Eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"Come, One-Eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you.\" One-Eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes sang constantly - \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?\" Until One-Eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and in an instant all had vanished. Two-Eyes now awakened One-Eye, and said, \"One-Eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, but in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again.\"",
"So they went home, and again Two-Eyes let her dish stand untouched, and One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\" Next day the mother said to Three-Eyes, this time you shall go and observe if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out, and if anyone fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret. So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes, and said, \"I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in Three-Eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-Eyes.\" Three-Eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes began the same song as before, and sang - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?\"",
"But then, instead of singing - \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"As she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang - \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"And sang all the time - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"Then two of the eyes which Three-Eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when two-eyes thought that three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and Three-Eyes had seen everything. Then Two-Eyes came to her, waked her and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, we will go home.\" And when they got home, Two-Eyes again did not eat, and Three-Eyes said to the mother, \"Now, I know why that haughty thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says - `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,' and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by means of a charm, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake.\"",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass from you,\" and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead. When Two-Eyes saw that, she went out full of sadness, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, \"Two-Eyes, why are you weeping?\" \"Have I not reason to weep?\" she answered. \"The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want.\" The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice, ask your sisters to give you the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home and said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat, I do not wish for what is good, but give me the entrails.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that is all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counseled her to do.",

Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.\n\nWhen Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.\n\nTwo-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth.",

"There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-Eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-Eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-Eyes, because she had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. However, as Two-Eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, \"You, with your two eyes, are no better than the common people, you do not belong to us.\" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy.",
"It came to pass that Two-Eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, \"Why are you weeping, little Two-Eyes?\" Two-Eyes answered, \"Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes to me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave. Today they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry.\"",
"Then the wise woman said, \"Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes, and I will tell you something to stop your ever suffering from hunger again. Just say to your goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before you with the most delicious food upon it of which you may eat as much as you are inclined for, and when you have had enough, and have no more need of the little table, just say, `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, and take the table quite away,' and then it will vanish again from your sight.\" Hereupon the wise woman departed.",
"But Two-Eyes thought, \"I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry,\" and she said - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon, and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-Eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, \"Lord God, be our guest forever, amen,\" and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it.",
"And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. That is a delightful way of keeping house, thought Two-Eyes, and was quite glad and happy.",
"In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not notice it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, \"There is something wrong about Two-Eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her, she must have discovered other ways of getting food.\"",
"In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-Eye with Two-Eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-Eyes did when she was there, and whether anyone brought her anything to eat and drink.",
"So when Two-Eyes set out the next time, One-Eye went to her and said, \"I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in One-Eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"Come, One-Eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you.\" One-Eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes sang constantly - \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?\"",
"Until One-Eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried - \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and in an instant all had vanished. Two-Eyes now awakened One-Eye, and said, \"One-Eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, but in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again.\"",
"So they went home, and again Two-Eyes let her dish stand untouched, and One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\" Next day the mother said to Three-Eyes, this time you shall go and observe if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out, and if anyone fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret. So Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes, and said, \"I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what was in Three-Eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, \"We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-Eyes.\"",
"Three-Eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-Eyes began the same song as before, and sang - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?\"",
"But then, instead of singing - \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"As she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang - \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"And sang all the time - \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?\"",
"Then two of the eyes which Three-Eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when two-eyes thought that three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm - \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,\" and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,\" and Three-Eyes had seen everything. Then Two-Eyes came to her, waked her and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, we will go home.\"",
"And when they got home, Two-Eyes again did not eat, and Three-Eyes said to the mother, \"Now, I know why that haughty thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat - `Bleat, my little goat, bleat, Cover the table with something to eat,' and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says - `Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away,' and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by means of a charm, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake.\"",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass from you,\" and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead. When Two-Eyes saw that, she went out full of sadness, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, \"Two-Eyes, why are you weeping?\" \"Have I not reason to weep?\" she answered. \"The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want.\"",
"The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice, ask your sisters to give you the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home and said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat, I do not wish for what is good, but give me the entrails.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that is all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counseled her to do.",
"Next morning, when they all awoke, and went to the house-door, there stood a strangely magnificent tree with leaves of silver, and fruit of gold hanging among them, so that in all the wide world there was nothing more beautiful or precious. They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us.\" One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might.",
"Then said the mother, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up, you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and might try as she would, but the golden apples always escaped her.",
"At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-Eyes, \"Let me go up, perhaps I may succeed better.\" The sisters cried, \"You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not avoid her, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-Eyes any better for this, she and One-Eye and Three-Eyes were only envious, because Two-Eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.",
"It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters, \"creep under this, and do not disgrace us,\" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-Eyes, and they swept the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, \"To whom does this fine tree belong? Anyone who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch.",
"They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, \"It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should not have the power to break a piece off.\" They again asserted that the tree was their property.",
"Whilst they were saying so, Two-Eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-Eye and Three-Eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, \"Two-Eyes, come forth.\" Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" replied Two-Eyes, \"that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me.\"",
"And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.",
"When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.",
"Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door.

The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, \"Two-Eyes, come forth.\" Then Two-Eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break off a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" replied Two-Eyes, \"that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me.\"",
"And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, \"Two-Eyes, what shall I give you for it?\" \"Alas, answered two-eyes, \"I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night. If you would take me with you, and rescue me, I should be happy.\" So the knight lifted Two-Eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing.",
"When Two-Eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. \"The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us,\" thought they, \"and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us.\" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-Eyes looked out of the window of her own room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.",
"Two-Eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-Eye, and Three-Eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-Eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth."

"Once there was a woman with three daughters. The oldest girl had only one eye in the middle of her forehead. The second girl had two eyes, just like everyone else. The youngest girl had three eyes, and her third eye was also in the center of her forehead. But because Two-Eyes saw just like normal people, her sisters and her mother could not stand her. They said, \"You with your two eyes are no better than the common people. You do not belong to us.\" They pushed her around and threw old clothes at her. They gave her nothing to eat but what was left over, and they did everything they could to make her feel very sad.",
"One day, Two-Eyes had to go out to the fields to watch the goats. She was still very hungry because her sisters had given her so little to eat. She sat down on a hill and started to cry. Her tears fell down her cheeks like two little streams. Suddenly, a kind woman appeared beside her. The woman asked, \"Why are you crying, little Two-Eyes?\"\n\nTwo-Eyes looked up and said, \"I have a good reason to cry. I have two eyes just like everyone else, but my sisters and my mother hate me for it. They push me away and give me old clothes. They give me nothing to eat but the scraps left over. Today they gave me so little that I am still very hungry.",
"Then the wise woman said, \"Wipe away your tears, Two-Eyes. I will tell you a secret to stop you from ever feeling hungry again. Just say to your goat, 'Bleat, my little goat, bleat, and make a table full of food.' Then, a clean little table will appear with the most delicious treats. You can eat as much as you like. When you are full, just say, 'Bleat, bleat, my little goat, and take the table away.' Then it will disappear.\" The wise woman smiled and went away.",
"But Two-Eyes was very hungry. She thought, \"I must try this magic. I need to eat.\" So she said softly, \"Bleat, little goat. Bleat. Please make a table for me.\" In a flash, a small table appeared. It had a white cloth and a plate with a knife and fork. A shiny silver spoon sat right next to it. The food looked so good. It was warm and smelled sweet, just like a treat from the kitchen.\n\nTwo-Eyes said a quick prayer. \"Dear God, thank you for our food. Amen.\" Then she sat down and ate happily.",
"When she was happy with the food, she said the magic words her wise friend had taught her. \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, And take the table quite away.\" In a flash, the little table and all the food disappeared. Two-Eyes thought that was a wonderful trick. She felt so happy and cozy in her heart.",
"When she came home with her goat in the evening, she found a small bowl with food. Her sisters had made it for her, but she did not touch it. The next day, she went out with her goat again. She left the few pieces of bread they gave her, and she did not eat them. At first, her sisters did not notice anything. But because she did it every day, they saw it. They said, \"There is something strange about Two-Eyes. She always leaves her food. She used to eat everything, so she must have found another way to get food.",
"One-Eye and Two-Eyes wanted to know the truth. So, they made a plan. When Two-Eyes went to take her goat to the green grass, One-Eye went with her. One-Eye hid and watched closely. She wanted to see if anyone came to bring Two-Eyes food or a drink.",
"So when Two-Eyes went out again, One-Eye ran over to her. \"I will come with you to the pasture,\" she said. \"I will watch the goat and make sure it has plenty of food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what One-Eye was thinking. She led the goat into tall, green grass. \"Come, One-Eye,\" she said softly. \"Let us sit down. I will sing a song for you.\" One-Eye sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the warm sun. Two-Eyes sang over and over again, \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?",
"One-Eye closed her single eye and fell fast asleep. As soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was sleeping and could not see, she whispered softly, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat.\" She covered the table with yummy food. She sat down and ate and drank until she was full. Then she called out again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, please take the table away.\" In a blink, everything was gone. Two-Eyes woke One-Eye up. \"One-Eye, you need to watch the goat, but you can sleep while you do it,\" Two-Eyes said. \"If you sleep, the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home now.",
"So they went home. Again, Two-Eyes left her dish untouched. One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat. To make an excuse, she said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\"\n\nThe next day, the mother spoke to Three-Eyes. \"This time, you shall go and watch,\" she said. \"See if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out. See if anyone brings her food and drink. She must eat and drink in secret.\"\n\nSo Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes. \"I will go with you,\" she said. \"I want to see if the goat is taken care of and driven to where there is food.\"\n\nBut Two-Eyes knew what Three-Eyes was thinking. She drove the goat into tall, green grass. \"We will sit down,\" she said softly. \"I will sing a song for you, Three-Eyes.",
"Three-Eyes sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the hot sun. Two-Eyes started to sing the same song again. She sang softly, \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?",
"But then, instead of singing, they whispered, \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"As she should have, she sang out without thinking, \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"And she sang all the time, \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"Then two of Three-Eyes’s eyes closed and went to sleep. But the third eye stayed awake. It had not been named in the song, so it did not sleep. Three-Eyes tried to trick it. She closed it tight, but it blinked and saw everything clearly.\n\nWhen Three-Eyes thought she was fast asleep, Two-Eyes used her magic spell. \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat! Cover the table with something to eat.\" Two-Eyes ate and drank as much as she wanted. Then she sent the table away. \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, Take the table quite away.\" Three-Eyes saw it all.\n\nTwo-Eyes woke her up and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, let us go home.",
"When they got home, Two-Eyes did not eat. Three-Eyes spoke to the mother. \"Now I know why that proud girl does not eat. When she is out, she talks to the goat. She says, 'Bleat, my little goat, bleat. Make a table with food.' Then a small table appears with the best food, much better than ours. When she is full, she says, 'Bleat, bleat, my little goat. Take the table away.' Then it disappears. I watched her closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep with magic, but luckily the eye on my forehead stayed awake.",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to have a better life than we do? I will take that wish away from you.\" She grabbed a sharp knife and killed the goat. The poor animal fell down and did not move. When Two-Eyes saw this, she felt very sad. She went outside and sat on the grass at the edge of the field. She cried big, sad tears. Suddenly, the kind woman appeared next to her. She asked, \"Two-Eyes, why are you crying?\" \"I have a good reason to cry,\" she answered. \"The goat used to bring food to my table every day. My mother killed it, and now I will have to go hungry again.",
"The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice. Ask your sisters to give you the soft parts of the goat. Bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home. She said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, please give me some part of my goat. I do not want the good parts, but give me the soft parts.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that is all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the soft parts and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, just as the wise woman had told her to do.",
"Next morning, when they all woke up and went to the house door, they saw a beautiful tree. It had leaves of silver and fruit of gold hanging among them. It was the most wonderful thing in the whole world. They did not know how the tree got there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the goat. It was standing right where she had buried the goat. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and pick some of the fruit for us.\" One-Eye climbed up, but when she tried to get a golden apple, the branch slipped away. That happened every time, so she could not pick a single apple, no matter how hard she tried.",
"Then the mother said, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up. You have three eyes, so you can look around better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and she tried as hard as she could, but the golden apples always slipped away from her.",
"At last the mother got impatient. She climbed up the tree herself, but she could not reach the fruit either. She tried to grab it, but her hands only touched empty air. Then Two-Eyes spoke up. \"Let me try,\" she said. \"Maybe I can get the fruit better than you can.\" The sisters laughed. \"You? With only two eyes? What good will that do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up anyway. The golden apples did not run away from her. They floated right into her hands. She picked them one by one and filled her apron. She brought them all down to the ground. The mother took the fruit away from her. She did not thank Two-Eyes. She was just jealous. She and her sisters were angry that Two-Eyes was the only one who could get the fruit. They were even meaner to her than before.",
"One day, while they were all standing by the tree, a young knight walked up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters. \"Crawl under here and don't let them see you.\" They quickly turned an empty barrel that was near the tree over poor Two-Eyes. They also swept the golden apples she had been gathering under it. When the knight came closer, he was a handsome lord. He stopped and looked at the beautiful tree with gold and silver leaves. He said to the sisters, \"Whose tree is this? I will give you a branch if you let me have it. In return, I will give you anything you want.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes said the tree belonged to them and that they would give him a branch.",
"They tried very hard to pick the fruit, but the branches just moved away. Then the knight said, \"It is strange that the tree is yours, but you cannot break a piece off.\" They said again that the tree really did belong to them.",
"Two-Eyes rolled two shiny golden apples out from under the barrel. She did this because she was a little sad that her sisters were not telling the truth. When the knight saw the apples, he was very surprised. He asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes said they had another sister who had to stay hidden because she only had two eyes, just like everyone else. The knight really wanted to meet her. He called out, \"Two-Eyes, please come out.\" Two-Eyes felt much better and stepped out from under the barrel. The knight was amazed by how beautiful she was. He said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" Two-Eyes replied, \"I can certainly do that, because the tree belongs to me.",
"She climbed up and easily broke off a branch with shiny silver leaves and sweet golden fruit. She gave it to the knight. Then the knight asked, \"Two-Eyes, what can I give you for it?\"\n\n\"Oh, I am so hungry and thirsty,\" Two-Eyes said softly. \"I am sad and lonely all day long. If you would take me with you and be my friend, I would be so happy.\"\n\nSo the knight lifted Two-Eyes onto his horse. He took her to his father's big castle. There, he gave her beautiful clothes to wear and plenty of food and drink. He loved her very much, so he married her. The wedding was full of happy music and laughter.",
"When Two-Eyes was carried away by the kind knight, her two sisters were very jealous. They thought, \"The magic tree is still here with us. Even if we cannot pick fruit, everyone will stop to look at it. They will come to us and say how pretty it is. Maybe good things will happen to us.\" But the next morning, the tree was gone. Their hopes were gone, too. When Two-Eyes looked out her window, she was so happy to see it standing right there. It had followed her all the way home.",
"Two-Eyes lived a happy life for a long time. One day, two poor women came to her castle and asked for help. She looked at them and saw her sisters, One-Eye and Three-Eyes. They had fallen into such hard times that they had to ask for food at many doors. Two-Eyes was kind to them. She made them feel at home and took care of them. Her sisters were very sorry for the mean things they had done to her when they were young."

"One-Eye and Two-Eyes wanted to know the truth. So, they made a plan. When Two-Eyes went to take her goat to the green grass, One-Eye went with her. One-Eye hid and watched closely. She wanted to see if anyone came to bring Two-Eyes food or a drink.",
"So when Two-Eyes went out again, One-Eye ran over to her. \"I will come with you to the pasture,\" she said. \"I will watch the goat and make sure it has plenty of food.\" But Two-Eyes knew what One-Eye was thinking. She led the goat into tall, green grass. \"Come, One-Eye,\" she said softly. \"Let us sit down. I will sing a song for you.\" One-Eye sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the warm sun. Two-Eyes sang over and over again, \"One-eye, are you waking? One-eye, are you sleeping?",
"One-Eye closed her single eye and fell fast asleep. As soon as Two-Eyes saw that One-Eye was sleeping and could not see, she whispered softly, \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat.\" She covered the table with yummy food. She sat down and ate and drank until she was full. Then she called out again, \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, please take the table away.\" In a blink, everything was gone. Two-Eyes woke One-Eye up. \"One-Eye, you need to watch the goat, but you can sleep while you do it,\" Two-Eyes said. \"If you sleep, the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home now.",
"So they went home. Again, Two-Eyes left her dish untouched. One-Eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat. To make an excuse, she said, \"I fell asleep when I was out.\"\n\nThe next day, the mother spoke to Three-Eyes. \"This time, you shall go and watch,\" she said. \"See if Two-Eyes eats anything when she is out. See if anyone brings her food and drink. She must eat and drink in secret.\"\n\nSo Three-Eyes went to Two-Eyes. \"I will go with you,\" she said. \"I want to see if the goat is taken care of and driven to where there is food.\"\n\nBut Two-Eyes knew what Three-Eyes was thinking. She drove the goat into tall, green grass. \"We will sit down,\" she said softly. \"I will sing a song for you, Three-Eyes.",
"Three-Eyes sat down. She was tired from the long walk and the hot sun. Two-Eyes started to sing the same song again. She sang softly, \"Three-Eyes, are you waking?",
"But then, instead of singing, they whispered, \"Three-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"As she should have, she sang out without thinking, \"Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"And she sang all the time, \"Three-Eyes, are you waking? Two-Eyes, are you sleeping?",
"Then two of Three-Eyes’s eyes closed and went to sleep. But the third eye stayed awake. It had not been named in the song, so it did not sleep. Three-Eyes tried to trick it. She closed it tight, but it blinked and saw everything clearly.\n\nWhen Three-Eyes thought she was fast asleep, Two-Eyes used her magic spell. \"Bleat, my little goat, bleat! Cover the table with something to eat.\" Two-Eyes ate and drank as much as she wanted. Then she sent the table away. \"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray, Take the table quite away.\" Three-Eyes saw it all.\n\nTwo-Eyes woke her up and said, \"Have you been asleep, Three-Eyes? You keep watch very well. Come, let us go home.",
"When they got home, Two-Eyes did not eat. Three-Eyes spoke to the mother. \"Now I know why that proud girl does not eat. When she is out, she talks to the goat. She says, 'Bleat, my little goat, bleat. Make a table with food.' Then a small table appears with the best food, much better than ours. When she is full, she says, 'Bleat, bleat, my little goat. Take the table away.' Then it disappears. I watched her closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep with magic, but luckily the eye on my forehead stayed awake.",
"Then the envious mother cried, \"Do you want to have a better life than we do? I will take that wish away from you.\" She grabbed a sharp knife and killed the goat. The poor animal fell down and did not move. When Two-Eyes saw this, she felt very sad. She went outside and sat on the grass at the edge of the field. She cried big, sad tears. Suddenly, the kind woman appeared next to her. She asked, \"Two-Eyes, why are you crying?\" \"I have a good reason to cry,\" she answered. \"The goat used to bring food to my table every day. My mother killed it, and now I will have to go hungry again.",
"The wise woman said, \"Two-Eyes, I will give you a piece of good advice. Ask your sisters to give you the soft parts of the goat. Bury them in the ground in front of the house, and your fortune will be made.\" Then she vanished, and Two-Eyes went home. She said to her sisters, \"Dear sisters, please give me some part of my goat. I do not want the good parts, but give me the soft parts.\" Then they laughed and said, \"If that is all you want, you can have it.\" So Two-Eyes took the soft parts and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, just as the wise woman had told her to do.",
"Next morning, when they all woke up and went to the house door, they saw a beautiful tree. It had leaves of silver and fruit of gold hanging among them. It was the most wonderful thing in the whole world. They did not know how the tree got there during the night, but Two-Eyes saw that it had grown up out of the goat. It was standing right where she had buried the goat. Then the mother said to One-Eye, \"Climb up, my child, and pick some of the fruit for us.\" One-Eye climbed up, but when she tried to get a golden apple, the branch slipped away. That happened every time, so she could not pick a single apple, no matter how hard she tried.",
"Then the mother said, \"Three-Eyes, you climb up. You have three eyes, so you can look around better than One-Eye.\" One-Eye slipped down, and Three-Eyes climbed up. Three-Eyes was not more skillful, and she tried as hard as she could, but the golden apples always slipped away from her.",
"At last the mother got impatient. She climbed up the tree herself, but she could not reach the fruit either. She tried to grab it, but her hands only touched empty air. Then Two-Eyes spoke up. \"Let me try,\" she said. \"Maybe I can get the fruit better than you can.\" The sisters laughed. \"You? With only two eyes? What good will that do?\" But Two-Eyes climbed up anyway. The golden apples did not run away from her. They floated right into her hands. She picked them one by one and filled her apron. She brought them all down to the ground. The mother took the fruit away from her. She did not thank Two-Eyes. She was just jealous. She and her sisters were angry that Two-Eyes was the only one who could get the fruit. They were even meaner to her than before.",
"One day, while they were all standing by the tree, a young knight walked up. \"Quick, Two-Eyes,\" cried the two sisters. \"Crawl under here and don't let them see you.\" They quickly turned an empty barrel that was near the tree over poor Two-Eyes. They also swept the golden apples she had been gathering under it. When the knight came closer, he was a handsome lord. He stopped and looked at the beautiful tree with gold and silver leaves. He said to the sisters, \"Whose tree is this? I will give you a branch if you let me have it. In return, I will give you anything you want.\" Then One-Eye and Three-Eyes said the tree belonged to them and that they would give him a branch.",
"They tried very hard to pick the fruit, but the branches just moved away. Then the knight said, \"It is strange that the tree is yours, but you cannot break a piece off.\" They said again that the tree really did belong to them.",
"Two-Eyes rolled two shiny golden apples out from under the barrel. She did this because she was a little sad that her sisters were not telling the truth. When the knight saw the apples, he was very surprised. He asked where they came from. One-Eye and Three-Eyes said they had another sister who had to stay hidden because she only had two eyes, just like everyone else. The knight really wanted to meet her. He called out, \"Two-Eyes, please come out.\" Two-Eyes felt much better and stepped out from under the barrel. The knight was amazed by how beautiful she was. He said, \"You, Two-Eyes, can certainly break a branch from the tree for me.\" \"Yes,\" Two-Eyes replied, \"I can certainly do that, because the tree belongs to me.",
"She climbed up and easily broke off a branch with shiny silver leaves and sweet golden fruit. She gave it to the knight. Then the knight asked, \"Two-Eyes, what can I give you for it?\"\n\n\"Oh, I am so hungry and thirsty,\" Two-Eyes said softly. \"I am sad and lonely all day long. If you would take me with you and be my friend, I would be so happy.\"\n\nSo the knight lifted Two-Eyes onto his horse. He took her to his father's big castle. There, he gave her beautiful clothes to wear and plenty of food and drink. He loved her very much, so he married her. The wedding was full of happy music and laughter.",
"When Two-Eyes was carried away by the kind knight, her two sisters were very jealous. They thought, \"The magic tree is still here with us. Even if we cannot pick fruit, everyone will stop to look at it. They will come to us and say how pretty it is. Maybe good things will happen to us.\" But the next morning, the tree was gone. Their hopes were gone, too. When Two-Eyes looked out her window, she was so happy to see it standing right there. It had followed her all the way home.",
"Two-Eyes lived a happy life for a long time. One day, two poor women came to her castle and asked for help. She looked at them and saw her sisters, One-Eye and Three-Eyes. They had fallen into such hard times that they had to ask for food at many doors. Two-Eyes was kind to them. She made them feel at home and took care of them. Her sisters were very sorry for the mean things they had done to her when they were young."
