A businessman with three daughters was away on business matters.He said to his three daughters: "Before I go, I want to give each of you a gift. I want you to be happy and stay at home. Tell me what you all want." The girls thought about it, and finally said that they wanted gold thread, silver thread and silk thread.The merchant bought these things, told them to stay at home obediently, and set off. The youngest of the three sisters was called Jiri Cocoa, and she was the prettiest, and the two older sisters had always been jealous of her.After the father left, the eldest daughter took the gold thread, the second daughter the silver thread, and left the silk thread to Jiri Cocoa.After supper, all three sisters sat in front of the window and spun. Passers-by looked up at the three girls and commented on them one by one, but all eyes were always on the youngest girl.As night fell and the moon passed across the sky, she looked out the window and said: "

"The girl who spins the golden thread is beautiful, The girl who spins the silver thread is more beautiful, But the girl who spins the thread is better than both of them, Good evening girls, beautiful or ugly! " Hearing the words of the moon, the two elder sisters were so angry that they decided to exchange the lines they used with the younger sister.The next day they handed over the silver thread to Jili Cocoa, and it was spun again at the window after dinner.As soon as it was dark, the moon came out again and said: "The girl who spins the golden thread is beautiful, The girl who spins the thread is more beautiful,

But the girl who spun the silver thread was better than both of them, Good evening girls, beautiful or ugly! " The two sisters were full of anger, and they sneered at Ji Likokola, and they were mean. Poor Ji Likokola could only bear it silently.In the afternoon of the second day, the three of them sat down by the window again and spun, this time they handed the golden thread to Jiricocola to see what the moon would say.Unexpectedly, as soon as the moon appeared, it said: "The girl who spins the silver thread is beautiful, The girl who spins the thread is more beautiful, But the girl who spun the golden thread was better than both of them,

Good evening girls, beautiful or ugly! " This time, the two sisters could not bear to see Jillicola anymore, and they seized her and locked her in the barn upstairs.The poor girl was crying alone in the barn, and the moon opened the window with its light, and said to her, "Follow me." Then, taking her up, she took her away. In the afternoon of the second day, only the two sisters were sitting by the window spinning.At night the moon came out again and said: "The girl who spins the golden thread is beautiful, The girl who spins the silver thread is more beautiful, But that girl of my family was better than both of them,

Good evening girls, beautiful or ugly! " When the two sisters heard this, they immediately ran up to the barn to see that Jili Cocoa was long gone.They sent someone to invite a female astrologer and asked her to figure out where the little sister was.The female astrologer says Jiri Cocora is now in the Moon's home, living a more comfortable life than ever before. "How can we get rid of her?" asked the two sisters. "Leave it to me," said the female astrologer.Then, disguised as a gypsy girl, she came to the window of the moon and shouted her wares. Jiri Cocora liked the hair pins so much that she let the female astrologer into the house. "Let me put a hairpin in your head." The female astrologer said this, and inserted the hairpin into Jilicocola's head, and Jilicocola immediately became a statue.The female astrologer fled back to her two sisters and told them all about it.

After the moon revolved around the earth, he returned home and saw the girl turned into a statue, and said dissatisfiedly: "I told you not to let anyone in, but you didn't listen, and you deserved to be like this." Stay." But then, feeling sorry for the girl, she pulled the pin out of her head.Jiri Cocoa was back to life as before, promising to the moon that she would never let anyone in again. Not long after, the two sisters went to the astrologer again and asked her if Gilikokola was permanently dead.The female astrologer looked through her spellbook and said she didn't understand what had happened, and the girl was alive and well again.The two older sisters begged her to kill the younger one again. This time, the female astrologer brought a small box of combs to Gilikokola's window. When the girl saw these combs, she couldn't resist, so she sent the comb seller The woman called into the house.But as soon as she put the comb on her head, she became a statue again, and the female astrologer fled back to her two sisters.

Moon returned home and found that the girl had turned into a statue again. He was very angry and lost his temper with the girl.But after she lost her temper, she forgave the girl again.She took the comb from the girl's head.The girl lived again, "However, if it happens again, I will let you die like this." The moon said, and Ji Likokola promised that she would not in the future. But how could the two sisters and the female astrologer let her go!The female astrologer brought an embroidered shirt to sell again. The girl had never seen such a beautiful dress, and she liked it so much that she couldn't resist trying it on.But as soon as she put on the clothes, she became a statue.Moon returned home, this time she didn't want to say anything, didn't want to ask anything, she called a chimney sweeper, and sold such a beautiful statue for only three Wen.

The cleaner tied the beautiful statue to the pack saddle of a donkey and was driving around the city, when a prince found it and fell in love with it instantly.The prince bought the statue at the price of gold, and took it to his room, and saw it again and again, and loved it; and locked the door whenever she went out, because he wanted to see the statue alone.But the prince's sisters, because they were going to attend a grand ball, wanted to make exactly the same clothes as the statue wore. When the elder brother was out, they opened the door with a key they had provided and entered the brother's room. Want to take off the clothes that the statue is wearing.

As soon as the clothes were taken off, Jiri Cocoa moved and came to life.The prince's sisters were nearly terrified to death, but Gilikokola told them what had happened to her.So they hid her behind a door and waited for the prince brother to come back.When the prince came back, he saw that the statue was gone. He was extremely desperate, but unexpectedly, Ji Likokola jumped out from behind the door and told him everything that happened.The prince immediately took her to meet her parents as a bride.They had a wedding soon after.The two sisters of Jili Cocoa learned all this from the female astrologer and died of anger immediately.
