7. THE STAR-MONEY

Orphan girl. Had nothing except

  1. the clothes she wore
  2. A piece of bread some kind person gave her

A poor man asked her for the bread.
It was freezing.
A cold child asked for her hood.
Another cold child asked her for her jacket.
Another cold child asked her for her frock.
Another cold child asked her for her shirt.
It was dark in the forest, so she thought nobody would see, so gave it as well.

And she so stood, and had not one single thing left. Then suddenly some Stars from heaven fell down, and they were nothing else but hard smooth pieces of money!
And the finest clothes

Then she gathered the money and was rich all the days of her life.
