Little One Eye,Little Two Eyes, and Little Three Eyes (14)

  At last the mother became impatient, and climbed up herself, but she could totch the fruit just as little as Little One Eye or Little Three eyes ; she always grasped the air.

  Then Little Two Eyes said, " I will go up myself ; perhaps I shall succeed better. "

  " You ! " cried the sisters.
  " With your two eyes, what can you do ? "

  But Little Two Eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did not sprang away from her, but dropped by themselves into her hand, so that she could gather one after the other, and she brought down a whole apron full.

  Her mother took them from her, and instead of her sisters, Little One Eye and Little Three Eyes, behaving better to poor Little Two Eyes after this, they were only envious because she alone could get the fruit, and behaved still more cruelly to her.
