 her in the face and in humour*

 One day as she was at the 
 fountain, there came to her a 
 poor woman, who begged ot 
 her to let her drink. n 
 
 "W ith all my hearty, Goody, 
 said this pretty girl, and rin- 
 sing the pitcher, she took up 
 
 J

 some water from the clearest 
 part of the fountain, and o- ave 
 it to her, holding up the pit- 
 cher that she might drink easy 
 I When she had drank, she 
 
 . said, < k You are so pretty, my 
 dear, and so mannerly, that 
 at every word you speak there 
 snail come out of your mouth. 
 \ either a flower or a jewel." 
 
 When she came home, her 
 mother scolded her for stay- 
 ing so long at the fountain. 
 " I beg your pardon, mamma, 
 , (said the girl,) for not making 
 I more haste; and there came 
 j out of her mouth two dia- 
 ! monds, two roses, and two 
 I P ear ls, "What is it I see 
 

 
 there?*' said her mother, 
 "iiow happens this child ?" 
 
 The poor creature told her 
 all the circumstance,dioppinsr 
 a great many diamonds. — ■ 'In 
 good faith, (cried the mother) 
 I must send my child too. 
 
 Come, Fanny, look what 
 comes out of thy sister's 
 mouth, when she speaks! 
 Wouldst thou not he elad to 
 have such a gift? Thou hast 
 nothing to do but to go and 
 draw water out of the foun- 
 tain, and when a certain poor 
 woman a?ks vou to let her 
 drink, give her civilly." "It 
 would be a very pretfy sight 
 
10 
 
 indeed s (said the ill-bred niiii^) 
 to see niedraw water. 
 
 v You shall go ,Bussey, 
 (said the mother,) and this 
 minute." Away she went, 
 
 crumbling all the way. taking 
 with her the best silver tan- 
 kard. 
 
 She was no sooner at the 
 fountain, than she saw a lady 
 beautifully dressed who tame 
 up to her and asked her to 
 let her drink.. (This was the 
 very fairy who appeared to 
 her' sister, but had altered 
 her dress.) "Am I come hi- 
 ther, (said she proud saucy 
 slut,) to serve you with wa- 
 
It 
 
 ter? I suppose the silver tan- 
 kard was brought purely for 
 your ladyship. However you 
 may drink out of it, if yon 
 luve a fancy. " 
 
 "You ;ue not over and a- 
 
 bove manneily, (answered the 
 fairy,) and since you are so 
 disobliging, at every word you 
 soeak there shall come out ot 
 your mouth, a snake or a 
 toad." 
 
 When her mo* her saw her 
 coming, she cried out, 'Well 
 daughter '•" " Well mother !" 
 replied the pert hussey, throw- 
 ing out of her mouth two vi- 
 

 pers and two toads. "Oh ! 
 mercy! (cried the mother,) 
 whatis it I see ? Oh ! it is that 
 wretch, her sister, who has 
 occasioned all this; but she 
 shall pay for it." And im- 
 mediately she ran to beat her. 
 
 The poor child ran away, 
 and went to hide in a forest 
 
 The King's son, on his re- 
 turn from hunting, met her 
 and seeing her a pretty girl, 
 asked her what she did th^re. 
 "A4as ! Sir, my mamma has 
 turned me out of doors. 1

 The piince seeing the pearls 
 and diamonds come out other

 mouth, bid her inform him 
 how that happened, which 
 she did ; and he fell in love 
 with her, considering that 
 such a gift was worth any 
 marriage portion, conducted 
 her to the palace, and married 
 her.
