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

From Grimms' Fairy Tales, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This tale is from Grimms' Fairy Tales, collected by the Brothers Grimm in the nineteenth century. Two-Eyes is different from her sisters—she looks like an ordinary person—and so her family treats her cruelly. But kindness and magic turn her misfortune into fortune. This reader reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The Grimms taught children that goodness is rewarded and cruelty brings regret, and this story shows both.
