This gem of a tale is a short one about a widow with two daughters, each of whom she treats very differently. Listen to see how one is rewarded and how one meets a very dire end. sidenote: I may be deleting some of my older episodes soon before I produce/upload some new ones; thanks for so many listens of the fairytales, and I will continue to produce episodes of them along with bits of other heightened text.

Listen to his version of this tale of a girl with so much kindness, who bestows good will upon all she encounters (including her sisters), and to whom, in the end, gets a beautiful new beginning to her life.
