ONCE upon a time, and a
very good time it was, though it wasn't in my time, nor in your time, nor
anyone else's time, there was a girl whose mother had died, and her father
married again. And her stepmother hated her because she was more beautiful than
herself, and she was very cruel to her. She used to make her do all the
servant's work, and never let her have any peace. At last, one day, the
stepmother thought to get rid of her altogether; so she handed her a sieve and
said to her: 'Go, fill it at the Well of the World's End and bring it home to
me full, or woe betide you.' For she thought she would never be able to find
the Well of the World' s End, and, if she did, how could she bring home a sieve
full of water? |

DAME Goody was a nurse that looked after sick people, and minded babies. One night she was woke up at midnight, and when she went downstairs, she saw a strange squinny-eyed, little ugly old fellow, who asked her to come to his wife who was too ill to mind her baby. Dame Goody didn't like the look of the old fellow, but business is business; so she popped on her things, and went down to him. And when she got down to him, he whisked her up on to a large coal-black horse with fiery eyes, that stood at the door; and soon they were going at a rare pace, Dame Goody holding on to the old fellow like grim death. |
