'Three Spinners'

Once upon a time there was a girl who was very lazy and unwilling to spin no matter what.

Finally one day, the mother felt that she couldn't bear it anymore and beat her, and she burst into tears. At this time, the queen passed by the door in a car and heard the crying. She ordered the car to stop and went into the house to ask the mother.

Why do you beat your daughter? How can a mother have the nerve to say how lazy her daughter is, so she replies: "I told her to stop spinning, but she just didn't listen and kept spinning on the spinning wheel. I'm poor.

, how can you afford so much linen?"

After hearing this, the queen said: "I love spinning the most. Let your daughter follow me into the palace. I have plenty of flax, and she can spin as much as she likes."

When the mother heard this, she was very happy and agreed, and the queen took the girl away.

When they arrived at the palace, the queen led the girl upstairs and showed her three warehouses, which were filled with the best flax. "Here, spin this flax for me," said the queen.

"Whenever you finish spinning, you will marry my eldest son."

The girl was frightened when she heard that - even if she spun from morning to night every day, she would never be able to finish spinning so much flax when she was three hundred years old. When the girl was left alone, she started to cry. She

Just sitting there crying like this, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and she hadn't started spinning yet. On the third day, the girl didn't know what to do and came to the window worriedly. Just then she saw three women walking over.

: The first woman's feet were wide and flat; the second woman's lower lip was very long, hanging down to her chin; and the third woman's thumb was very wide. The three women walked to the window and stopped.

They asked the girl why she was worried, and she told them her troubles.

"As long as you don't think we are embarrassed," they said to the girl, "invite us to your wedding, say that we are your cousins, and let us sit at your table for the wedding banquet, we will help you finish spinning the linen."

"I'd be very happy," replied the girl.

After that, the girl let these three strange-looking women into the house. As soon as they sat down after entering, they started spinning. Every time the queen came, the girl was afraid that the queen would find out, so she hid the three spinning women.

And let the queen see the yarn that had been spun. After the queen saw it, she was full of praise for her.

After all the flax in the warehouse was spun, the three weavers said goodbye to the girl and said to her before leaving: "You must not forget the promise you made to us, it is related to your own happiness.

"

The girl showed the queen three empty warehouses and piles of yarn piled like a mountain, and the queen arranged the wedding.

"I have three cousins," the girl said. "They treat me very well. When I am happy, I don't want to be indifferent to them. Please allow me to invite them to the wedding and let them join us at the wedding banquet."

sit together."

The queen and the prince readily agreed. On the wedding day, the three spinners did come. They were dressed in strange ways, which was very funny. The bride immediately went up to them and said: "Welcome, dear cousins."

"Why are your cousins ​​so ugly?" the prince asked. Then, he turned around and walked to the woman with big feet and asked: "Why is one of your feet so big?"

"It's on a spinning wheel," she replied.

The groom walked to the second woman and asked, "Why are your lips drooping?"

"You can lick the twine," she replied.

Then he asked the third woman: "How come your thumb is so wide?"

"It's all about twisting flax," she replied.

After hearing the answers of the three people, the prince was shocked and said: "My beautiful bride will never touch a spinning wheel again in the future."

In this way, the girl no longer has to do the annoying job of spinning.
