Little One-Eye, Two-Eyes and Three-Eyes

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This story comes from Grimms' Fairy Tales, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers gathered traditional folk tales from Germany and published them for children and families. This tale, like many fairy stories, teaches that true worth is found in kindness and character, not in outward appearance or how others treat you. The magical tree rewards Two-Eyes for her goodness, and even her cruel sisters are forgiven in the end. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised.
