nothing gave her so much pleasure as to hear about the world above the sea. she made her old grandmother tell her all she knew of the ships and of the towns, the people and
the animals. To her it seemed most wonderful and beautiful to hear that the flowers of the land should have fragrance,
and not those below the sea; that the trees of the forest should be green; and that the fishes among the trees could sing so sweetly, that it was quite a pleasure to hear them.

“oh, cinderella,” teased the older stepsister, “wouldn’t you like to come to the ball?” cinderella turned away so
her stepsisters wouldn’t see the tears in her eyes. Both stepsisters looked at each other and laughed merrily at the thought of their dirty servant stepsister standing in
rags at the ball.

“i would like everything i touch to turn to gold.” said the King. The next day when he woke up, he touched
the bed, his clothes, and everything turned to gold. he looked out of the window and saw his daughterplaying in the garden, she came running and he
hugged her and she turned into a gold statue. There were no more smiles left.

“dance you shall!” he told her. “dance in your red shoes until you are pale and cold, and your flesh shrivels down to the skeleton. dance you shall from door to door, and wherever there are children proud and vain you must knock at the door till they hear you, and are afraid of you. dance you shall. dance always.” “have mercy upon me!” screamed Karen. But she did not hear the angel answer. her shoes swept her out through the gate, and across the fields, along highways and byways, forever and always
dancing.

on the same day the two brothers set out on their journey to the city, the rich one on horseback, with plenty of food in his knapsack, the poor one on foot with nothing but a piece of bread and four onions to eat on the way. The road was hilly
and neither could go very fast, and when night fell, they were both glad to see some lights in a window a little distance in
front of them.

“queen, you are full fair, ‘tis true, But snow-white fairer is than you.” This gave the queen a great shock, and she became
yellow and green with envy, and from that hour her heart turned against snow-white, and she hated her. and envy and pride like ill weeds grew in her heart higher every day, until
she had no peace day or night. at last she sent for a huntsman, and said, “Take the child out into the woods, so that i may set eyes on her no more. you must put her to death, and bring me
her heart for a token.”

rapunzel, whose long golden hair was plaited, would twist it round one of the bars and drop it out of the window, and the witch would
climb up it. when she left, rapunzel would let down her golden hair again, and the witch would slide nimbly down to the ground. one day,
the King’s son was riding through the forest when he heardrapunzel singing. Mystified, he rode to the tower, but could see no
door, so could not understand how anyone could be there. he decided to stay and watch the tower and listen to the singing. after a while the witch came along and the prince watched her carefully. To his amaze-ment, as she called out, “rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your long hair,”
a long golden plait of hair fell almost to the ground.
