There was, once upon a time, a widow, who had two daughters. The eldest was so
much like her in the face and humour, that whoever looked upon the
daughter saw the mother. They were both so disagreeable, and so proud,
that there was no living with them. The youngest, who was the very
picture of her father, for courtesy and sweetness of temper, was withal
one of the most beautiful girls ever seen. As people naturally love
their own likeness, this mother even doated on her eldest daughter, and
at the same time had a horrible aversion for the youngest. She made her
eat in the kitchen, and work continually.
Inter stof omone infan dis benine obliga

Among other things, this poor child was forced twice a day to draw water
above a mile and a half off the house, and bring home a pitcher full of
it. One day, as she was at this fountain, there came to her a poor
woman, who begged of her to let her drink.
"Kon desir maga, gineben ot mi", infangine bel logo pas. E ili laba pas suragri pot ot ili e pris pas idro in plas pur plasuni ot basiidro e porta pas a gine, temtuta gardisub pot, pro gine inergo bibe komod plus. Temkia gine ben komple pas desirbibe ili, ili logo pas a infangine: "Ni es bel tak, ben tak e filoonor tak, na mi nesesa fakto stofdon pro ni" (akaus dis es pas ginefaktotauma, na pris pas sur iliauto forma ot gine plutone urbanagri, pro optik, aktoben ot infangine jube dis es futur maga kak). "Mi fakto stofdon pro ni", ginefaktotauma logo pas stopne, "na a logo tuta separa, ni logo futur na, flor o lito balormaga pasoeks futur eks buka ot ni."
"O ay, with all my heart. Goody," said this pretty maid; and rinsing
immediately the pitcher, she took up some water from the clearest place
of the fountain, and gave it to her, holding up the pitcher all the
while, that she might drink the easier. The good woman having drank,
said to her: "You are so very pretty, my dear, so good and so mannerly,
that I
cannot help giving you a gift" (for this was a Fairy, who had taken the
form of a poor country-woman, to see
how far the civility and good manners of this pretty girl would go). "I
will give you for gift," continued the Fairy, "that at every word you
speak, there shall come out of your mouth either a flower, or a jewel."
Temkia infangine bel dis aribe pas a dom, mater ot ili insulta pas ili, prokia ili aribere pas postetem tak ot basiidro. "Perdon mi, mater", infangine benine logo pas, "na mi resta pas temlonga tak". Temkia ili logo pas logomulti dis, tri ros, tri margaret e tri diaman maga dansi pas eks buka ili. "Mi optik kia!" mater ot ili logo pas kon surpris maga. "Optikomo, na margaretmulti e diamanmulti dansieks eks buka ot ili! Dis aribe ot plaskia, infangine ot mi?" (Dis es pas tem uni, na mater apela pas ili omo infangine). Infan benine logo pas logodirek stoftuta, na aribe pas a ili, e, in tem ot logo ili, diaman multimaga kataraktaeks pas eks buka ili. "Si es tak", mater logo pas, "mi nesesa espedi infangine ot mi a plas na. Mari, optik, stofkia pasoeks eks buka ot fratergine ni, temkia ili logo; es probable ne filo a ni pro abe inergo omo? Ni nesesa bine paso a basiidro pro pris idro; e temkia gine plutone deman futur bibe ot ni, ni don futur filo idro a ili". "Es probable bel tele," infangine respon pas filone, "na mi paso a basiidro!" "Mi desir, na ni paso a plas na," mater logo pas, "e paso suragri!"
When this pretty girl came home, her mother scolded at her for staying so long at the fountain.
"I beg your pardon, mamma," said the poor girl, "for not making
more haste," and, in speaking these words, there came out of her mouth
two roses, two pearls, and two diamonds. "What is this I see?" said her mother quite astonished, "I think I
see pearls and diamonds come out of the girl's mouth! How happens this,
child?" (This was the first time she ever called her child.)
The poor creature told her frankly all the matter, not without
dropping out infinite numbers of diamonds. "In good faith," cried the
mother, "I must send my child thither. Come hither, Fanny, look what
comes out of thy sister's mouth when she speaks! Would'st not thou be
glad, my dear, to have the same gift given to thee? Thou hast nothing
else to do but go and draw water out of the fountain, and when a certain
poor woman asks thee to let her drink, to give it her very civilly."
"It would be a very fine sight indeed," said this ill-bred minx, "to see me go draw water!"
"You shall go, hussey," said the mother, "and this minute."
Infangine paso pas, sed logobelne intem temtuta. Ili pris pas potflor maga metalag bel plasuni, na es pas in dom. Temkia ili aribe pas a basiidro, ili optik pas suragri uni gine, besti pluto tele, gine na paso pas eks silbi e deman pas bibe ot ili (dis es pas ginefaktotauma omo, na pris pas sur iliauto forma e bestimulti ot infangineroi, pro optik, aktobenne ot infangine dis es futur maga kak). "Aribe pas mi plasdis," infangine filone e lebanauto logo pas a ili, "pro don bibe a ni? Sekur, mi porta pas potflor maga metalag kon desir pro dis, pro don bibe a gine dis! Ide ot mi es: pris auto idro, si ni desir bibe." "Ni es ne filo ot tuta," ginefaktotauma logo pas abene nerfo. "Ben, akaus ni es desirserbis tak, mi fakto stofdon pro ni, na a logo tuta separa, ni logoeks futur na, serpen o ran pasoeks futur eks buka ni."
So away she went, but grumbling all the way, taking with her the best
silver tankard in the house. She was no sooner at the fountain, than she
saw coming out of the
wood a lady most gloriously dressed, who came up to her, and asked to
drink. This was, you must know, the very Fairy who appeared to her
sister, but had now taken the air and dress of a princess, to see how
far this girl's rudeness would go. "Am I come hither," said the proud,
saucy slut, "to serve you
with water, pray? I suppose the silver tankard was brought purely for
your ladyship, was it? However, you may drink out of it, if you have a
fancy."
"You are not over and above mannerly," answered the Fairy,
without putting herself in a passion. "Well then, since you have so
little breeding, and are so disobliging, I give you for gift, that at
every word you speak there shall come out of your mouth a snake or a
toad."
Temkia mater ot ili obserba pas ili, mater logoleban pas suragri a ili: "Es kak, infangine mi?" "Ia, mater", ginefilone respon pas a ili, balieks intem uni serpen e uni ran. "O, sel!" mater logolebaneks pas, "mi optik kia? Fratergine ot ili es eror in stoftuta; mi aktoanti futur a ili akaus dis!" E ili kuren pas suragri pro batal ili. Infan benine kureneks pas e sekret pas iliauto in silbi telene plasuni.

"O, benine, androbalor, mater ot mi espul pas mi eks dom". Infanroi, na optik pas, na bitri margaret e bitri diaman pasoeks pas eks buka ili, deman pas ili, pro ili logo, dis aribe ot plaskia.

Infanroi ide pas, na inergo tak abe balor maga plus stoftuta, antrop inergo probable don na a androgamone omone, ili sefaleks pas gine dis a dommaga ot pater ili, roi, plaskia ili gamo pas gine dis.
So soon as her mother saw her coming, she cried out: "Well, daughter?"
"Well, mother?" answered the pert hussey, throwing out of her mouth two
vipers and two toads.
"O mercy!" cried the mother, "what is it I see! O, it is that
wretch her sister who has occasioned all this; but she shall pay for
it"; and immediately she ran to beat her. The poor child fled away from
her and went to hide herself in the forest, not far from thence. The
King's son, then on his return from hunting, met
her, and seeing her so very pretty, asked her what she did there alone,
and why she cried.
"Alas! sir, my mamma has turned me out of doors." The King's son, who
saw five or six pearls, and as many diamonds,
come out of her mouth, desired her to tell him how that happened. She
thereupon told him the whole story; and so the King's son fell in love
with her; and, considering with himself that such a gift was worth more
than any marriage-portion whatsoever in another, conducted her to the
palace of the King his father, and there married her.
Sed peri fratergine ot ili mis inergo logo, na ili esaribe pas filonebalor tak, na mater auto ot ili espul pas ili ot auto; e infangine benine, kuren intem multi e eureka antropnul, na desir probable aksep ili, morta pas antetem in goni ot silbi.
As for her sister, she made herself so much hated that her own mother
turned her off; and the miserable wretch, having wandered about a good
while without finding anybody to take her in, went to a corner in the
wood and there died.
