So the little old woman went home, and there she saw at the door a
little pony all ready bridled and saddled for her to ride.
She was very happy, and thought she would never want anything more; but
after a while she grew discontented again.
So back she went to the waterside and called "Fairy, fairy"; and the
water bubbled, and the little fairy stood beside her.
"What do you want, my good woman?" she said.
And the little old woman answered: "You have been very kind, ma'am, in
giving me a house and furniture, and clothes, and a maid, and a pony;
and now, if you please, ma'am, I should like a covered cart. For I find
that my new clothes get quite as muddy riding as walking."
