the three spinning-women (part two)
"with all my heart," replied the girl.
she let in the three singular women, and they sat down and began to spin. the girl hid the three spinning - women from the Queen; and every time she came showed her the quantity of thread that had been spun off; so that the Queen could not praise her sufficiently.
then the three women took their leave, empty rooms, and the great heap of spun thread, the Queen made arrangements for the wedding.
"i have three cousins," said the girl,"and as they have done me many kindnesses, i should not like to be forgetful of them in my prosperity; permit me to invite them to our wedding, and let them sit at table with us."
The Queen and the Prince consented. when the marriage day came, the spinning-women arrived, most comically dressed, and the bride said to them :"welcome , dear cousins."
"how is it," asked the Prince,"that friends are so ugly?" then he turned to the one with the great splay foot, and asked :" how came you to have such a broad foot?"
"from treading the wheel,"she replied.
again the bridegroom went to the second, and asked:" how came you by that hanging lip?"
"from moistening the thread," she replied.
then the Prince was alarmed, and declared; "my beautiful bride shall never touch a spinnin-wheel again."
so she got rid of the distasteful employment.
