The Tale of the Silver saucer and the Transparent apple(2)

Well, the time came around for the merchant to pack up and go to the big fair.

He called his daughters and said,
" Little pigeons, " just as Isay to you.
" Little pigeons, " says he, " what would you like me to bring you from the fair ? "


Says the eldest, " I'd like a necklace,  but it must be a very nice rich one. "

Says the second, " I want a dress with gold hems. "

But the youngest, the god one, Little stupid,said nothing at all.

" Now, little onesays her father, " what is it you want ? I must bring something for you, too. "

Says the little one, " Could I have a silver saucer and a transparent apple ? But never mind if there are none. "

The old merchant says, " Long hair, short sence, just as i say to maroosia.
But he promised the little pretty one , who was so good that her sister called her stupid, that if he could get her a silver saucer and a transparent apple she shoud have them.

Then they all kissed each other, and he cracked his whip, and off he want, with the little bells jingling on the horse's harness.
