Toads and Diamonds (2)

Among other things, this poor child was forced twice a day to fetch water a long way from 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 her to let her drink.

" Oh, yes, with all my heart, " said this pretty little girl; and rinsing 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 more easily.

The good woman having drunk, said to her: " You are so pretty, my dear,  so good and so mannerly,that I cannot help giving you a gift. "

For this woman 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.
