Little One Eye,Little Two Eyes, and Little Three Eyes (13)

  Then the mother said to Little One Eye, " Climb up, my child, and gather us some fruit from the tree. "

  So Little One Eye climbed up, but when she wanted to seize a golden apple, the branch sprang out of her hand : this happened every time, so that she could not gather a single apple, though she tried as much as she could.

  Then the mother said, " Little Three Eyes, you climb up ; you can see better with your three eyes than Little One Eye can. "

  Little One Eye scrambled down, and Little Three Eyes climbed up.

  But Little Three Eyes was no cleverer, and magic look about her as much as sshe liked ー the golden apples always sprang back from her grasp.
