Little One Eye,Little Two Eyes, and Little Three Eyes (1)

Little One Eye,Little Two Eyes, and Little Three Eyes (1)

  There was a woman who had three daughters.

  The eldest was called Little One Eye, because she ahd only one eye in the middle of her forehead ; the second, Little Two Eyes, because she had two eyes like other people ; and the youngest, Little Three Eyes, because she had three eyes, one of them being in the middle of the forehead, and the other two in the usual place.

  Now, because Little Two Eyes looked no different from other people, her sisters and mother could not bear even to look at her.

  They said, " You with your two eyes are no better than anybody else ; you don't belong to us. "

  They knocked her about, and gave her shabby clothes, and food that was left over from their own meals ; in short, they made life difficult for her whenever they could.
