1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories, toads, and diamonds. There was once

2
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: upon a time a widow who had two daughters. The

3
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: oldest was so much like her in the face and humor,

4
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: that whoever looked upon the daughter saw the mother. They

5
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: were both so disagreeable and so proud that there was

6
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: no living with them. The youngest, who was the very

7
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: picture of her father for courtesy and sweetness of temper,

8
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: was one of the most beautiful girls ever seen. As

9
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: people naturally love their own likeness, this mother even doated

10
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: on her eldest daughter, and at the same time had

11
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: a horrible aversion. For the youngest. She made her eat

12
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and work continually. Among other things, this

13
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: poor child was forced twice a day to draw water

14
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: above a mile and a half off the house and

15
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: bring home a pitcher full of it. One day, when

16
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: she was at this fountain, there came to her a

17
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: poor woman who begged of her to let her drink.

18
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh with all my heart, for sure, said this pretty

19
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: little girl, and rinsing immediately the pitcher. She took up

20
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: some water from the clearest place of the fountain and

21
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: gave it to her, holding up the pitcher all the

22
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: while that she might drink easier. The good woman, having drunk,

23
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: said to her, you are so very pretty, my dear,

24
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: so good and so mannerly, that I cannot help giving

25
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: you a gift. For this was a fairy who had

26
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: taken the form of a poor countrywoman to see how

27
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: far the civility and good manners of this pretty girl

28
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: would go. I will give you a gift, continued the fairy,

29
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: that at every word you speak, there shall come out

30
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: of your mouth either a flower or a jewel. When

31
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: this pretty girl came home, her mother scolded her for

32
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: staying so long at the fountain. I beg your pardon, mamma,

33
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: said the poor girl, for not making more haste. And

34
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: in speaking these words, there came out of her mouth

35
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: two roses, two pearls, and two diamonds. What is it

36
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: I see there, said the mother, quite astonished. I think

37
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I see pearls and diamonds come out of the girl's mouth.

38
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: How is this happening? Child? This was the first time

39
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: she had ever called her child. The poor girl told

40
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: her frankly all the matter, not without dropping out infinite

41
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: numbers of diamonds. In good faith, cried the mother. I

42
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: must send my child thither. Come hither, Fanny, Look what

43
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: comes out of your sister's mouth when she speaks. Wouldn't

44
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: you be glad, my dear, to have the same gift

45
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: given to you. You have nothing else to do but

46
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: go and draw water out of the fountain. And when

47
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: a certain poor a woman asks you to let her drink,

48
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: give it to her very politely. It will be a

49
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: very fine sight, indeed, said this ill bred daughter, to

50
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: see me go draw water. You shall go, said the mother,

51
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: And this minute so away she went, but grumbling all

52
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: the way, taking with her the best silver pitcher in

53
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the house. Now she was no sooner at the fountain

54
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: than she saw coming out of the woods a lady

55
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: most gloriously dressed, who came up to her and asked

56
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: for a drink. This was, you must know, the very

57
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: same fairy who appeared to the sister. But she had

58
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: now taken the air and dress of a princess. To

59
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: see how far this girl's rudeness would go. As I

60
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: come hither, said the proud saucy one, to serve you

61
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: with water. I suppose the silver pitcher was bought purely

62
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: for your ladyship, was it? However, you may drink out

63
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: of it if you really want to. You are not

64
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: over and above, mannerly answered the fairy, without putting herself

65
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: in a passion. Well, then, since you have so little

66
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: breeding and you're so disobliging, I give you a gift

67
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: that at every word you speak, there shall come out

68
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: of your mouth a snake or a toad. So soon

69
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: as her mother saw her coming, she cried out, well, daughter, Well, mother,

70
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: answered the saucy daughter, throwing out of her mouth two

71
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: vipers and two toads. Oh mercy, cried the mother, what

72
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: is it I see? Oh, it is that wretch her sister,

73
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: who has occasioned all this. But she shall pay for it,

74
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: And immediately she ran to get the daughter. The poor

75
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: child ran away from her and went to hide herself

76
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: in the forest. The king's son passed by, returning from hunting,

77
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: and met her, and, seeing her so very pretty, asked

78
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: her what she did there alone and why she was crying. Alas, sir,

79
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: my mother has turned me out of our home. The

80
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: king's son, who saw five or six pearls and as

81
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: many diamonds come out of her mouth, told her to

82
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: tell him how that happened. She told him the whole story,

83
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: And so the king's son fell in love with her, and,

84
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: considering himself that such a gift was worth more than

85
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: any marriaging portion, conducted her to the palace of the

86
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: king his father, and there they married. As for the sister,

87
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: she made herself so much hated that even her own

88
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: mother turned her away, and, being so miserable, wandered about

89
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: a good while without finding anyone to take her in.

90
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: She went to a corner of the woods and lived

91
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: there forever
