　　小学英语阅读：Mother Holle

　　Once upon a time， there lived a widow with two daughters. One was a beautiful and diligent stepdaughter， and the other was her ugly and lazy real daughter.

　　One day， the stepdaughter broke the mirror of her stepmother while cleaning the house. “Oh， no！ What can I do？” The stepdaughter shed frightened tears thinking of the angry face of her stepmother. Then a strange sound came from the inside of the broken mirror.

　　“Please come in. You may come in.” The stepdaughter peeped hesitantly into the mirror， at which moment the girl lost her wits in the glare of the shining light.

　　“Ah， where am I？” When she came to her senses， she was standing in a garden filled with shining sunlight and beautiful flowers. The girl kept walking dreamily among the flowers.

　　After a while， pieces of bread shouted out to the girl from a hot oven. “Wow！ It‘s hot！ It’s too hot. Please take us from the oven.” The girl took out all the pieces of bread from the oven despite the blazing heat， and kept walking.

　　“My arms are painful as they hold something heavy. Please shake my arms.” A tree with apples hung in thick clusters begged the girl， crying， “My apples are fully ripened and are ready to eat. Please shake my arms by all means.”

　　The girl stopped walking and shook the apple tree. The fruit dropped down from the apple tree as if it were raining. The girl collected all the apples that fell down.

　　Finally， she arrived at a small inn. The girl knocked on the door carefully saying， “Knock--knock！ Is there anyone here？” Suddenly， the door was flung wide open， and an old lady appeared. The girl was frightened and tried to run away.

　　But the old lady said， “You don‘t have to be afraid of me. Would you like to live with me？ You only have to shake off my bedding cleanly like flying feathers. Then the feathers will become the snow which is fallen on the ground. I am Mother Holle.” The girl did the housekeeping work very hard， and the bedding was shaken off with flying feathers like snowflakes. And although the old lady treated the girl very nicely， one day the child dropped tears saying， “I want to go home. I miss my stepmother and stepsister.” The girl begged the old lady saying， “Dear Grandmother， please let me go home.” The old lady then said smiling at her， “All right， you have indeed worked hard until now. I will let you go home.”
