But as she would not leave her in peace (she assented), and she
goes off like her sister. She comes into the city of the fairies,
and meets the same fairy as her sister did. She says to her:
"Where are you going, my girl?"
"To be a servant."
"Come to us."
And she takes her as servant. She tells her like the first one:
"You will dig up the kitchen, break the plates, smash the pitcher, give
the children their breakfasts by themselves, and dirty their faces."
There was some of the breakfast left over, and the little dog comes
in, and he went:
"Tchow! tchow! tchow! I too, I should like something."
And he follows her everywhere, and she gives him nothing; and at last
she drove him off with kicks. The mistress comes home, and she finds
the kitchen all dug up, the pitcher and all the plates broken. And
she asks the servant:
"What do you ask for wages? A bag of gold or a sack of charcoal? a
star on your forehead, or a donkey's tail there?"
She chose the bag of gold and a star on her forehead; but she gave
her a sack of charcoal, and a donkey's tail for her forehead. She goes
away crying, and tells her mother that she comes back very sorry. And
the second daughter also asks permission to go.
"No! no!" (says the mother), and she stops at home.
