The Fairy's Two Gifts (7) [The Fairy's Two Gift]

The Fairy's Two Gifts (7)

  " Yesterday evening, " he said, " came a poor traveller to our door who begged for a night's lodging. She was very poorly clad, but we gave her all we had, and our bed. This morning when she left us she offered to grant us the fulfilment of three wishes. We wished for continued health and our daily food as the greatest blessings, and at last she changed our old hut into this new and beautiful cottage. "

  On hearing this, the rich man's wife ran hastily back, and told her husband what she had heard.

  " I could tear myself to pieces, " he explained.
  " Oh, if I had only known ! That stranger came here first, such a shabby-looking woman she was, and begged me to give her a night's lodging, but I refuse her. "

  " Never mind, " said his wife ; " now make haste, ride after this woman ; if you can overtake her you can ask her to grant you three wishes also. "
