many years ago, but still all remember this story, a mother tried every day his daughter to learn to spin, but it did not. The cries of the mother and the daughter's rebellion could be heard every day, until one day, tired of the lazy mother of his daughter, gave him a slap. The girl screamed and began to mourn, in part because it hurt and partly the rage he felt at having to learn something I did not want. They say they wanted the chance to walk by the queen, who stopped his chariot to know where they came crying. The mother was embarrassed and lied to the Queen could not tell all the lazy who was his daughter, saying that the reason for her tears was that he wanted to spin all day, but she was so poor that they could buy the necessary linen his hobby. The queen felt sorry for the girl and told her not to worry, that carried with it a palace and there could spin all you want.
The proud mother smiled, but her daughter bowed her head and hold back the tears. Silently accompanied the Queen, and as they reached the palace, the Queen was one of the rooms. A mountain of linen covered the entire room.
- See how much flax, my daughter. If lint all there in this room and show it to be as industrious as they say, I give to my son for him, because there is no better wife for a prince to a woman industrious and obedient.
The girl fell to the Queen, but when it closed the door began crying bitter that no one could console. Three days was crying. Every day the Queen looked out to see the work, and she answered that she could not work yet, he missed his mother. At the end of third day he appeared at the window, three very distinctive old passed beneath his window. A lip was hanging, the other fat and misshapen thumb, the third walking stumbling because one of his feet was wide and flat.
- Why are you crying, girl, you know that tears do not spoil your face?
And I told her sadly. The old women looked and offered to help her. They promised to spin all the flax for her, but instead should invite to your wedding. The girl promised to fulfill the promise. And in a few minutes and three elders were spinning. Hanks began to take shape one after another, all fully extended and fluffy. When they finished the girl called the Queen, who looked astonished the work of the child. Within days, hosted the wedding, and if the Queen was glad I was happier when the young man seeing a girl so thrifty.
- I'll marry you, but you must let me invite some cousins \u200b\u200bof mine that I grew up in small-to which I owe this quality that I have.
And it was done. They say that she was beautiful in his white suit, his long tail and an embroidered veil covering her face. And it appeared the three old, dressed in their finery.
- Come, my premiums, I am going to introduce my husband.
Prince looked at them amazed at how ugly they were. He greeted them politely and asked
- Why are you so hung lip?
- It licking. As your young wife, also I really like spinning.
- And why do you have one foot as wide?
- From time to turn the wheel, I also really like spinning.
- And why you have so flattened thumb?
- I'll take care of twisting the thread. Spinning is the passion of our family.
The young prince looked at his wife. He saw how beautiful she was and imagined the twisted lip, thumb, foot flat and level, and then said:
- Beloved, you'll never touch a spinning wheel.
and say they were happy all his life.
