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

A fairy tale from Grimms' Fairy Stories, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This is a tale from Grimms' Fairy Stories, collected by the Brothers Grimm in nineteenth-century Germany. The story is about a girl rejected by her family because she looks ordinary, but who is rewarded for her kindness and forgives those who hurt her. It teaches children that being different—or being the same—does not decide your worth, and that kindness and forgiveness are more powerful than cruelty. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised.
