Grimms’ Fairy Tales 022 – MOTHER HOLLE – 001

Once upon a time there was a widow who had two daughters; one of them was beautiful and industrious, the other ugly and lazy.
The mother, however, loved the ugly and lazy one best, because she was her own daughter, and so the other, who was only her stepdaughter, was made to do all the work of the house, and was quite the Cinderella of the family.
Her stepmother sent her out every day to sit by the well in the high road, there to spin until she made her fingers bleed.
Now it chanced one day that some blood fell on to the spindle, and as the girl stopped over the well to wash it off, the spindle suddenly sprang out of her hand and fell into the well.
She ran home crying to tell of her misfortune, but her stepmother spoke harshly to her, and after giving her a violent scolding, said unkindly, ‘As you have let the spindle fall into the well you may go yourself and fetch it out.’

The girl went back to the well not knowing what to do, and at last in her distress she jumped into the water after the spindle.

She remembered nothing more until she awoke and found herself in a beautiful meadow, full of sunshine, and with countless flowers blooming in every direction

   하지만 어머니는 못생기고 게으른 딸을 오히려 더 사랑했는데, 왜냐하면 그녀는 자기 친딸이었기 때문이었습니다. 그래서 의붓딸은 집안일을 전부 맡아야 했고, 가족 중 완전한 신데렐라가 되었습니다.

   어느 날 운 좋게도 피가 방추에 떨어졌고, 소녀가 우물에 걸터앉아 그것을 씻어내려고 할 때 방추가 갑자기 그녀 손에서 뛰어들어 우물로 떨어졌습니다. 그녀는 울면서 집으로 달려가 그녀의 불행을 말했지만, 의붓어머니는 그녀에게 엄하게 말했고, 심하게 꾸짖은 후에 ‘네가 방추를 우물에 떨어뜨렸으니 직접 가서 주워오라’고 냉정하게 말했습니다.
