Mother Hulda
The widow with her two daughters.
One was pretty & industrious / the other was ugly &lazy
The pretty one always had to work
Everyday she had to go spinning at the well
Then it happened once that the spindel was bloody
One day she cut her finger
But then the spindle fell in the water
She wanted to wash the spindle but then it fell into the well
She cried & walked to her stepmother
The stepmother said that she has to fetch it out again !
Then she jumped down into the well
She did what her stepmother told her
As she was friendly she helped the loaves
She took out all the loaves
She helped the apple tree
One by one she dropped the apples until the last one
Now the pretty girl is working for mother Hulda
First she was scared but then the girl took courage
Everyday she shook the bed to make snow on earth
She shook the bed so well that the feathers flew around
The pretty girl got home-sick & talked to mother Hulda
Mother Hulda could understand her that she is missing her family
As the girl served her faithfully she send her back home through a gate
To going home the pretty & indoustrious girl had to go through a gate
Then she was covered all with gold
Because she helped much she became a great gift for it
Cock-a-doodle doo !Our golden girl has come home too !
She made the spindle bloody and jumped into the well
The idle girl did what her mother told her
She didn‘t want to black her hands so she went on farther
The ugly girl didn‘t want to help the loaves
Instead of shaking the tree she ate one
The girl didn‘t want to help the apple tree
The girl wasn‘t afraid of mother Hulda
As she knew the story from her sister she went to mother Hulda
Instead of doing her job she was rather sleeping
She neitehr shook the bed for the feathers to fly about
Mother Hulda soon grew tired of her & sent her back home
As she wasn‘t doing anything she was sent back home
She thought now the gold rain is coming
Then mother Hulda sent her back home
But instead of gold she was covered all in pitch
Mother Hulda gave her what she deserved
Cock-a-doodle doo!Our dirty girl has come home too !
The END
