Maiden Bright-eye thanked the little bergman ever so often , and drove home her sheep in the evening . By that time she had grown so beautiful that her people could scarcely recognise her . Her stepmother asked her how it had come about that she had grown so beautiful . She told the whole story -- for she always told the truth -- that a little man had come to her out on the moor and had given her all this beauty . She did not tell , however , that she had given him a share of her dinner . The stepmother thought to herself , ` If one can become so beautiful by going out there , my own daughter shall also be sent , for she can well stand being made a little prettier . ' Next morning she baked for her the finest cakes , and dressed her prettily to go out with the sheep . But she was afraid to go away there without having a stick to defend herself with if anything should come near her . She was not very much inclined for pulling the heather , as she never was in the habit of doing any work , but she was only a minute or so at it when up came the same little fellow with the red cap , and said : ` Who 's that pulling the roof off my house ? ' ` What 's that to you ? ' said she . ` Well , if you will give me a bit of your dinner I wo n't do you any mischief , ' said he . ' I will give you something else in place of my dinner , ' said she . ' I can easily eat it myself ; but if you will have something you can have a whack of my stick , ' and with that she raised it in the air and struck the bergman over the head with it . ` What a wicked little girl you are ! ' said he ; ` but you shall be none the better of this . I shall give you three wishes , and choose them for you . First , I shall say , `` Ugly are you , but you shall become so ugly that there will not be an uglier one on earth . '' Next I shall wish that every time you open your mouth a big toad may fall out of it , and your voice shall be like the roaring of a bull . In the third place I shall wish for you a violent death . '
The girl went home in the XXXXX , and when her mother saw her she was as vexed as she could be , and with good reason , too ; but it was still worse when she saw the toads fall out of her mouth and heard her voice .
