v2 ¶1

A woman was walking about the fields with her daughter and her step-daughter cutting fodder, when the Lord came towards them in the form of a poor man, and asked, "Which is the way into the village?" "If you want to know," said the mother, "seek it for yourself," and the daughter added, "If you are afraid you will not find it, take a guide with you." But the step-daughter said, "Poor man, I will take you there, come with me."

v3 ¶1

A woman was walking in the fields with her daughter and her step-daughter to cut some grass. Suddenly, a kind man came toward them. He looked very poor. He asked, "Which way is the village?" The mother said, "If you want to know, look for it yourself." Her daughter added, "If you are afraid, you should take a guide with you." But the step-daughter said, "Poor man, I will take you there. Please come with me.

v2 ¶2

Then God was angry with the mother and daughter, and turned His back on them, and wished that they should become as black as night and as ugly as sin. To the poor step-daughter, however, God was gracious, and went with her, and when they were near the village, He said a blessing over her, and spoke, "Choose three things for yourself, and I will grant them to you." Then said the maiden, "I should like to be as beautiful and fair as the sun," and instantly she was white and fair as day. "Then I should like to have a purse of money which would never grow empty."

v3 ¶2

But God was kind to the poor step-daughter. He walked with her and blessed her as they got close to the village. He said, "Choose three things for yourself, and I will grant them to you." The girl smiled and said, "I would like to be as beautiful and bright as the sun." Instantly, she was as fair as the morning light. "And I would like a bag of gold that never runs out." The Lord gave her that too, but He said, "Do not forget what is best of all." She thought for a moment and said, "For my third wish, I want to go to heaven and live with God forever after I die.

v2 ¶4

When the step-mother came home with her daughter, and they saw that they were both as black as coal and ugly, but that the step-daughter was white and beautiful, wickedness increased still more in their hearts, and they thought of nothing else but how they could do her an injury. The step-daughter, however, had a brother called Reginer, whom she loved much, and she told him all that had happened. And Reginer said to her, "Dear sister, I will paint your portrait, that I may continually see you before my eyes, for my love for you is so great that I should like always to look at you." Then she answered, "But, I pray you, let no one see the picture."

v3 ¶4

When the step-mother came home with her daughter, they looked at the two girls. The step-mother and her daughter were very dirty and looked quite ugly. But the step-daughter was clean and very pretty. The step-mother felt very angry and jealous. She only thought about how she could hurt the kind girl. The step-daughter had a brother named Reginer. She loved him very much, so she told him everything that had happened. Reginer said, "My dear sister, I want to paint your picture. I want to look at it every day because I love you so much." She answered, "Please, do not let anyone else see the picture.

v2 ¶5

So he painted his sister and hung up the picture in his room, he, however, dwelt in the king's palace, for he was his coachman. Every day he went and stood before the picture, and thanked God for the happiness of having such a dear sister. Now it happened that the king whom he served, had just lost his wife, who had been so beautiful that no one could be found to compare with her, and on this account the king was in deep grief. The attendants about the court, however, noticed that the coachman stood daily before this beautiful picture, and they were jealous of him, so they informed the king.

Every day, he went to look at the picture and thanked God for having such a kind sister. The king had just lost his wife. She was so beautiful that no one could compare to her, so the king was very sad. The people at the court saw the coachman standing in front of the lovely picture every day. They were jealous of him, so they told the king about it.

v2 ¶6

Then the latter ordered the picture to be brought to him, and when he saw that it was like his lost wife in every respect, except that it was still more beautiful, he fell mortally in love with it He caused the coachman to be brought before him, and asked whom the portrait represented. The coachman said it was his sister, so the king resolved to take no one but her as his wife, and gave him a carriage and horses and splendid garments of cloth of gold, and sent him forth to fetch his chosen bride.

v3 ¶6

Then the king asked for the picture to be brought to him. When he looked at it, he saw that it looked just like his lost wife. She was even more beautiful now. He fell deeply in love with the picture. He called for the coachman and asked who the portrait showed. The coachman said it was his sister. The king decided she was the one he wanted to marry. He gave the coachman a beautiful carriage with horses and clothes made of shiny gold. He sent him out to bring his special bride home.

v2 ¶7

When Reginer came on this errand, his sister was glad, but the black maiden was jealous of her good fortune, and grew angry above all measure, and said to her mother, "Of what use are all your arts to us now when you cannot procure such a piece of luck for me." "Be quiet," said the old woman, "I will soon divert it to you," - and by her arts of witchcraft, she so troubled the eyes of the coachman that he was half-blind, and she stopped the ears of the white maiden so that she was half-deaf. Then they got into the carriage, first the bride in her noble royal apparel, then the step-mother with her daughter, and Reginer sat on the box to drive.

v3 ¶7

When Reginer came to help, his sister was happy. But the black girl was jealous. She was very angry. She said to her mother, "Why can't you get such good luck for me?" "Be quiet," said the old woman. "I will make it happen for you." Then, with her magic, she made the coachman's eyes hurt. He could not see well. She also stopped the ears of the white girl, so she could not hear well. They got into the carriage. The bride wore her beautiful dress. The step-mother and her daughter got in too. Reginer sat on the front seat to drive.

v2 ¶8

When they had been on the way for some time the coachman cried, "Cover thee well, my sister dear, That the rain may not wet thee, That the wind may not load thee with dust, That thou may'st be fair and beautiful When thou appearest before the king."

v3 ¶8

After they had been driving for a while, the coachman said, "Wrap up warm, my dear sister. The rain must not touch you, and the wind must not blow dust on you. I want you to look beautiful and happy when you meet the king.

v2 ¶9

The bride asked, "What is my dear brother saying?" "Ah," said the old woman, "he says that you ought to take off your golden dress and give it to your sister." Then she took it off, and put it on the black maiden, who gave her in exchange for it a shabby grey gown. They drove onwards, and a short time afterwards, the brother again cried, "Cover thee well, my sister dear, That the rain may not wet thee, That the wind may not load thee with dust, That thou may'st be fair and beautiful When thou appearest before the king."

v3 ¶9

So, she took it off and put it on the black maiden. In exchange, the black maiden gave her a simple, old grey gown. They drove on together. Soon, the brother called out again, "Cover yourself well, my dear sister, so the rain does not wet you and the wind does not blow dust on you. I want you to look pretty and happy when you meet the king.

v2 ¶10

The bride asked, "What is my dear brother saying?" "Ah," said the old woman, "he says that you ought to take off your golden hood and give it to your sister." So she took off the hood and put it on her sister, and sat with her own head uncovered. And they drove on farther.

You want to look beautiful and fair when you see the king.

v2 ¶11

The bride asked, "What is my dear brother saying?" "Ah," said the old woman, "he says you must look out of the carriage." They happened to be on a bridge, which crossed deep water. When the bride stood up and leant forward out of the carriage, they both pushed her out, and she fell into the middle of the water. At the same moment that she sank, a snow-white duck arose out of the mirror-smooth water, and swam down the river.

At the same moment that she sank, a snow-white duck arose out of the mirror-smooth water, and swam down the river.

v2 ¶12

The brother had observed nothing of it, and drove the carriage on until they reached the court. Then he took the black maiden to the king as his sister, and thought she really was so, because his eyes were dim, and he saw the golden garments glittering. When the king saw the boundless ugliness of his intended bride, he was very angry, and ordered the coachman to be thrown into a pit which was full of adders and nests of snakes. The old witch, however, knew so well how to flatter the king and deceive his eyes by her arts, that he kept her and her daughter until she appeared quite endurable to him, and he really married her.

v3 ¶12

The brother did not notice anything strange. He drove the carriage until they arrived at the castle. Then, he took the black girl to the king and said she was his sister. The brother’s eyes were not clear, so he thought she was beautiful because he saw her golden dress shining. When the king saw the black girl, he was very angry. He ordered the coachman to be thrown into a deep pit full of snakes. The old witch knew how to make the king happy. She used her magic tricks to make him believe she was kind. He kept her and her daughter, and he finally married them.

v2 ¶13

One evening when the black bride was sitting on the king's knee, a white duck came swimming up the gutter to the kitchen, and said to the kitchen-boy, "Boy, light a fire, that I may warm my feathers." The kitchen-boy did it, and lighted a fire on the hearth. Then came the duck and sat down by it, and shook herself and smoothed her feathers to rights with her bill. While she was thus sitting and enjoying herself, she asked, "What is my brother Reginer doing?" The scullery-boy replied, "He is imprisoned in the pit with adders and with snakes." Then she asked, "What is the black witch doing in the house?" The boy answered, "She is loved by the king and happy." "May God have mercy on him," said the duck, and swam forth by the gutter.

v3 ¶13

One evening, the black bride was sitting on the king's knee. A white duck came swimming up the drain to the kitchen. She said to the kitchen boy, "Boy, light a fire, that I may warm my feathers." The boy did it and lit a fire on the hearth. Then the duck sat down by it and shook herself to make her feathers smooth and dry. While she was sitting and enjoying the warmth, she asked, "What is my brother Reginer doing?" The scullery boy replied, "He is trapped in a deep pit with snakes." Then she asked, "What is the black witch doing in the house?" The boy answered, "She is loved by the king and is very happy." "May God have mercy on him," said the duck, and she swam away by the drain.

v2 ¶14

The next night she came again and put the same questions, and the third night also. Then the kitchen-boy could bear it no longer, and went to the king and revealed all to him. The king, however, wanted to see it for himself, and next evening went thither, and when the duck thrust her head in through the gutter, he took his sword and cut through her neck, and suddenly she changed into a most beautiful maiden, exactly like the picture, which her brother had made of her. The king was full of joy, and as she stood there quite wet, he caused splendid apparel to be brought and had her clothed in it.

v3 ¶14

The next night she came back again. She asked the same questions, and she came the third night, too. The kitchen boy could not keep the secret any longer. He went to the king and told him everything. The king wanted to see it for himself. So, the next evening, he went to the pond. When the duck stuck her head through the water, the king took his sword. He cut through her neck. Suddenly, she changed into a beautiful girl. She looked just like the picture her brother had drawn of her. The king was so happy. She was still a little wet, so he had beautiful clothes brought for her. He dressed her in them right away.

v2 ¶15

Then she told how she had been betrayed by cunning and falsehood, and at last thrown down into the water, and her first request was that her brother should be brought forth from the pit of snakes, and when the king had fulfilled this request, he went into the chamber where the old witch was, and asked if she knew the punishment for one who does this and that, and related what had happened. Then was she so blinded that she was aware of nothing and said, "She deserves to be stripped naked, and put into a barrel with nails, and that a horse should be harnessed to the barrel, and the horse sent all over the world." All of which was done to her, and to her black daughter.

v3 ¶15

Then she told how she had been tricked by lies and thrown into the water. Her first wish was for her brother to be brought out of the dark pit. When the King did this, he went to the old witch. He asked her what should happen to someone who was so mean. He told her everything. The witch was so angry that she could not see straight. She cried out, "She deserves to be stripped and put in a rough barrel with sharp nails! A horse should pull her all over the world!" The King did exactly that. He did it to the witch and her black daughter too.

v2 ¶16

But the king married the white and beautiful bride, and rewarded her faithful brother, and made him a rich and distinguished man.

Then the kitchen-boy could bear it no longer, and went to the king and revealed all to him. The king, however, wanted to see it for himself, and next evening went thither, and when the duck thrust her head in through the gutter, he took his sword and cut through her neck, and suddenly she changed into a most beautiful maiden, exactly like the picture, which her brother had made of her. The king was full of joy, and as she stood there quite wet, he caused splendid apparel to be brought and had her clothed in it.\n\nThen she told how she had been betrayed by cunning and falsehood, and at last thrown down into the water, and her first request was that her brother should be brought forth from the pit of snakes, and when the king had fulfilled this request, he went into the chamber where the old witch was, and asked if she knew the punishment for one who does this and that, and related what had happened. Then was she so blinded that she was aware of nothing and said, \"She deserves to be stripped naked, and put into a barrel with nails, and that a horse should be harnessed to the barrel, and the horse sent all over the world.\" All of which was done to her, and to her black daughter.

    "One evening when the black bride was sitting on the king's knee, a white duck came swimming up the gutter to the kitchen, and said to the kitchen-boy, \"Boy, light a fire, that I may warm my feathers.\" The kitchen-boy did it, and lighted a fire on the hearth. Then came the duck and sat down by it, and shook herself and smoothed her feathers to rights with her bill. While she was thus sitting and enjoying herself, she asked, \"What is my brother Reginer doing?\" The scullery-boy replied, \"He is imprisoned in the pit with adders and with snakes.\" Then she asked, \"What is the black witch doing in the house?\" The boy answered, \"She is loved by the king and happy.\" \"May God have mercy on him,\" said the duck, and swam forth by the gutter.",

The king, however, wanted to see it for himself, and next evening went thither, and when the duck thrust her head in through the gutter, he took his sword and cut through her neck, and suddenly she changed into a most beautiful maiden, exactly like the picture, which her brother had made of her. The king was full of joy, and as she stood there quite wet, he caused splendid apparel to be brought and had her clothed in it.",
    "Then she told how she had been betrayed by cunning and falsehood, and at last thrown down into the water, and her first request was that her brother should be brought forth from the pit of snakes, and when the king had fulfilled this request, he went into the chamber where the old witch was, and asked if she knew the punishment for one who does this and that, and related what had happened. Then was she so blinded that she was aware of nothing and said, \"She deserves to be stripped naked, and put into a barrel with nails, and that a horse should be harnessed to the barrel, and the horse sent all over the world.\" All of which was done to her, and to her black daughter. But the king married the white and beautiful bride, and rewarded her faithful brother, and made him a rich and distinguished man."

To the poor step-daughter, however, God was gracious, and went with her, and when they were near the village, He said a blessing over her, and spoke, \"Choose three things for yourself, and I will grant them to you.\" Then said the maiden, \"I should like to be as beautiful and fair as the sun,\" and instantly she was white and fair as day. \"Then I should like to have a purse of money which would never grow empty.\" That the Lord gave her also, but He said, \"Do not forget what is best of all.\" Said she, \"For my third wish, I desire, after my death, to inhabit the eternal kingdom of heaven.\" That also was granted unto her, and then the Lord left her.\n\nWhen the step-mother came home with her daughter, and they saw that they were both as black as coal and ugly, but that the step-daughter was white and beautiful, wickedness increased still more in their hearts, and they thought of nothing else but how they could do her an injury. The step-daughter, however, had a brother called Reginer, whom she loved much, and she told him all that had happened. And Reginer said to her, \"Dear sister, I will paint your portrait, that I may continually see you before my eyes, for my love for you is so great that I should like always to look at you.\" Then she answered, \"But, I pray you, let no one see the picture.\"\n\nSo he painted his sister and hung up the picture in his room, he, however, dwelt in the king's palace, for he was his coachman. Every day he went and stood before the picture, and thanked God for the happiness of having such a dear sister. Now it happened that the king whom he served, had just lost his wife, who had been so beautiful that no one could be found to compare with her, and on this account the king was in deep grief. The attendants about the court, however, noticed that the coachman stood daily before this beautiful picture, and they were jealous of him, so they informed the king. Then the latter ordered the picture to be brought to him, and when he saw that it was like his lost wife in every respect, except that it was still more beautiful, he fell mortally in love with it He caused the coachman to be brought before him, and asked whom the portrait represented. The coachman said it was his sister, so the king resolved to take no one but her as his wife, and gave him a carriage and horses and splendid garments of cloth of gold, and sent him forth to fetch his chosen bride.\n\nWhen Reginer came on this errand, his sister was glad, but the black maiden was jealous of her good fortune, and grew angry above all measure, and said to her mother, \"Of what use are all your arts to us now when you cannot procure such a piece of luck for me.\" \"Be quiet,\" said the old woman, \"I will soon divert it to you,\" - and by her arts of witchcraft, she so troubled the eyes of the coachman that he was half-blind, and she stopped the ears of the white maiden so that she was half-deaf. Then they got into the carriage, first the bride in her noble royal apparel, then the step-mother with her daughter, and Reginer sat on the box to drive. When they had been on the way for some time the coachman cried, \"Cover thee well, my sister dear, That the rain may not wet thee, That the wind may not load thee with dust, That thou may'st be fair and beautiful When thou appearest before the king.\"\n\nThe bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" \"Ah,\" said the old woman, \"he says that you ought to take off your golden dress and give it to your sister.\" Then she took it off, and put it on the black maiden, who gave her in exchange for it a shabby grey gown. They drove onwards, and a short time afterwards, the brother again cried, \"Cover thee well, my sister dear, That the rain may not wet thee, That the wind may not load thee with dust, That thou may'st be fair and beautiful When thou appearest before the king.\"\n\nThe bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" \"Ah,\" said the old woman, \"he says that you ought to take off your golden hood and give it to your sister.\" So she took off the hood and put it on her sister, and sat with her own head uncovered. And they drove on farther. After a while, the brother once more cried, \"Cover thee well, my sister dear, That the rain may not wet thee, That the wind may not load thee with dust, That thou may'st be fair and beautiful When thou appearest before the king.\"\n\nThe bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" \"Ah,\" said the old woman, \"he says you must look out of the carriage.\" They happened to be on a bridge, which crossed deep water. When the bride stood up and leant forward out of the carriage, they both pushed her out, and she fell into the middle of the water. At the same moment that she sank, a snow-white duck arose out of the mirror-smooth water, and swam down the river.\n\nThe brother had observed nothing of it, and drove the carriage on until they reached the court.

He asked, \"Which way is the village?\" The mother said, \"If you want to know, look for it yourself.\" Her daughter added, \"If you are afraid, you should take a guide with you.\" But the step-daughter said, \"Poor man, I will take you there. Please come with me.",
    "Then God was angry with the mother and daughter. He turned His back on them and wished that they would become as dark as night and as ugly as a storm cloud. But God was kind to the poor step-daughter. He walked with her and blessed her as they got close to the village. He said, \"Choose three things for yourself, and I will grant them to you.\"\n\nThe girl smiled and said, \"I would like to be as beautiful and bright as the sun.\" Instantly, she was as fair as the morning light. \"And I would like a bag of gold that never runs out.\" The Lord gave her that too, but He said, \"Do not forget what is best of all.\" She thought for a moment and said, \"For my third wish, I want to go to heaven and live with God forever after I die.",

He could not see well. She also stopped the ears of the white girl, so she could not hear well. They got into the carriage. The bride wore her beautiful dress. The step-mother and her daughter got in too. Reginer sat on the front seat to drive.",

    "The bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" The old woman smiled and said, \"He says you should take off your beautiful golden dress and give it to your sister.\" So, she took it off and put it on the black maiden. In exchange, the black maiden gave her a simple, old grey gown. They drove on together. Soon, the brother called out again, \"Cover yourself well, my dear sister, so the rain does not wet you and the wind does not blow dust on you. I want you to look pretty and happy when you meet the king.",
    "The bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" The old woman smiled and said, \"He says that you should take off your golden hood and give it to your sister.\" So, she took off the hood and put it on her sister, and sat with her own head uncovered. They drove on together. After a while, the brother called out again, \"Cover yourself well, my sister dear, so the rain does not wet you, and the wind does not blow dust on you. You want to look beautiful and fair when you see the king.",
    "The bride asked, \"What is my dear brother saying?\" \"Ah,\" said the old woman, \"he says you must look out of the carriage.\" They happened to be on a bridge, which crossed deep water. When the bride stood up and leaned forward out of the carriage, they both pushed her out, and she fell into the middle of the water. At the same moment that she sank, a snow-white duck arose out of the mirror-smooth water, and swam down the river.",
    "The brother did not notice anything strange. He drove the carriage until they arrived at the castle. Then, he took the black girl to the king and said she was his sister. The brother’s eyes were not clear, so he thought she was beautiful because he saw her golden dress shining. When the king saw the black girl, he was very angry. He ordered the coachman to be thrown into a deep pit full of snakes. The old witch knew how to make the king happy. She used her magic tricks to make him believe she was kind. He kept her and her daughter, and he finally married them.",
    "One evening, the black bride was sitting on the king's knee. A white duck came swimming up the drain to the kitchen. She said to the kitchen boy, \"Boy, light a fire, that I may warm my feathers.\" The boy did it and lit a fire on the hearth. Then the duck sat down by it and shook herself to make her feathers smooth and dry. While she was sitting and enjoying the warmth, she asked, \"What is my brother Reginer doing?\" The scullery boy replied, \"He is trapped in a deep pit with snakes.\" Then she asked, \"What is the black witch doing in the house?\" The boy answered, \"She is loved by the king and is very happy.\" \"May God have mercy on him,\" said the duck, and she swam away by the drain.",
    "The next night she came back again. She asked the same questions, and she came the third night, too. The kitchen boy could not keep the secret any longer. He went to the king and told him everything. The king wanted to see it for himself. So, the next evening, he went to the pond. When the duck stuck her head through the water, the king took his sword. He cut through her neck. Suddenly, she changed into a beautiful girl. She looked just like the picture her brother had drawn of her. The king was so happy. She was still a little wet, so he had beautiful clothes brought for her. He dressed her in them right away.",
    "Then she told how she had been tricked by lies and thrown into the water. Her first wish was for her brother to be brought out of the dark pit. When the King did this, he went to the old witch. He asked her what should happen to someone who was so mean. He told her everything. The witch was so angry that she could not see straight. She cried out, \"She deserves to be stripped and put in a rough barrel with sharp nails! A horse should pull her all over the world!\" The King did exactly that. He did it to the witch and her black daughter too.",
    "But the king married the lovely white bride. He gave her a big, warm hug. Then, he rewarded her faithful brother. He made him a rich and important man."

  "child_friendly_text": "A woman was walking in the fields with her daughter and her step-daughter to cut some grass. Suddenly, a kind man came toward them. He looked very poor. He asked, \"Which way is the village?\" The mother said, \"If you want to know, look for it yourself.\" Her daughter added, \"If you are afraid, you should take a guide with you.\" But the step-daughter said, \"Poor man, I will take you there. Please come with me.\n\nThen God was angry with the mother and daughter. He turned His back on them and wished that they would become as dark as night and as ugly as a storm cloud. But God was kind to the poor step-daughter. He walked with her and blessed her as they got close to the village. He said, \"Choose three things for yourself, and I will grant them to you.\"\n\nThe girl smiled and said, \"I would like to be as beautiful and bright as the sun.\" Instantly, she was as fair as the morning light. \"And I would like a bag of gold that never runs out.\" The Lord gave her that too, but He said, \"Do not forget what is best of all.\" She thought for a moment and said, \"For my third wish, I want to go to heaven and live with God forever after I die.\n\nShe got what she wanted, and then the Lord left her.\n\nWhen the step-mother came home with her daughter, they looked at the two girls. The step-mother and her daughter were very dirty and looked quite ugly. But the step-daughter was clean and very pretty. The step-mother felt very angry and jealous. She only thought about how she could hurt the kind girl. The step-daughter had a brother named Reginer. She loved him very much, so she told him everything that had happened. Reginer said, \"My dear sister, I want to paint your picture. I want to look at it every day because I love you so much.\" She answered, \"Please, do not let anyone else see the picture.\n\nSo he painted a picture of his sister and hung it in his room. He lived in the king's palace because he was the coachman. Every day, he went to look at the picture and thanked God for having such a kind sister. The king had just lost his wife. She was so beautiful that no one could compare to her, so the king was very sad. The people at the court saw the coachman standing in front of the lovely picture every day. They were jealous of him, so they told the king about it.\n\nThen the king asked for the picture to be brought to him. When he looked at it, he saw that it looked just like his lost wife. She was even more beautiful now. He fell deeply in love with the picture. He called for the coachman and asked who the portrait showed. The coachman said it was his sister. The king decided she was the one he wanted to marry. He gave the coachman a beautiful carriage with horses and clothes made of shiny gold. He sent him out to bring his special bride home.\n\nWhen Reginer came to help, his sister was happy. But the black girl was jealous. She was very angry. She said to her mother, \"Why can't you get such good luck for me?\" \"Be quiet,\" said the old woman. \"I will make it happen for you.\" Then, with her magic, she made the coachman's eyes hurt. He could not see well. She also stopped the ears of the white girl, so she could not hear well. They got into the carriage. The bride wore her beautiful dress. The step-mother and her daughter got in too. Reginer sat on the front seat to drive.\n\nAfter they had been driving for a while, the coachman said, \"Wrap up warm, my dear sister.
