"Well, well, well!" said the woman, "I must surely send my dear Fanny to the spring, so that she too may have this gift."
Then she called her older daughter. "Fanny, my dear, come here! See what has happened to your sister. Should you not like to have such diamonds whenever you wish them?
"All you need to do is to go out to the spring to get some water. An old woman will ask for a drink and you will give it to her."
"I think I see myself going out there to the spring to get water!" said the older daughter.
"Go at once!" said the mother.
So the older daughter went.
She took with her the best silver pitcher in the house, and grumbled all the way.
When she had come to the spring, she saw a lady in beautiful clothes standing under a tree.
The lady came to her and asked for a drink.
It was really the fairy, but now she looked like a princess.
