The girl could not at first tell why she felt sad, but she became conscious at last the she was homesick, although she was a thousand times better off with Mother Holle than with her mother and sister. Mother Holle agreed to help her get back home. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
She awoke and found herself in a beautiful meadow, full of sunshine, and with countless flowers blooming in every direction. She made her way to a little cottage where she found Mother Holle, who agreed to take her in and help her in exchange for help around the house. © www.uncorneredmarket.com

And as the girl passed through, a shower of gold fell upon her, and the gold clung to her, so that she was covered with it from head to foot.'That is a reward for your industry,' said Mother Holle. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
At last in her distress the girl jumped into the water after the spindle.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
