Fair, Brown, and Trembling (Three daughters)(2)

" What dress would you like ? " asked the Henwife.

" I would like a dress as white as the snow, and a pair of bright green shoes, " replied Trembling.

The Henwife put on her cloak, snipped a tiny piece of cloth from Trembling's dress, and asked for a beautiful white dress, and a pair of green shoes.
They immediately appeared and Trembling put them on.

Then the Henwife gave the girl a bony-bird to put on her shoulder, and led her to the door.

There stood a fine white horse, with a saddle and bridle richly decorated with gold.

" Off you go to church, " said the Henwife.
" But be sure to stand just outside the church door.  As soon as the people start to leave, be ready to ride off as quickly as you can. "
