After some time had gone by the man married again , and he chose a widow with one daughter who was ugly and wicked , and her mother was ugly and wicked too . From the very day that the new wife came into the house there was no peace for the man 's children , and not a corner to be found where they could get any rest ; so the boy thought that the best thing he could do was to go out into the world and try to earn his own bread . When he had roamed about for some time he came to the King 's palace , where he obtained a place under the coachman ; and very brisk and active he was , and the horses that he looked after were so fat and sleek , that they shone again . But his sister , who was still at home , fared worse and worse . Both her step-mother and her step-sister were always finding fault with her , whatsoever she did and whithersoever she went , and they scolded her and abused her so that she never had an hour 's peace . They made her do all the hard work , and hard words fell to her lot early and late , but little enough food accompanied them . One day they sent her to the brook to fetch some water home , and an ugly and horrible head rose up out of the water , and said , ` Wash me , girl ! ' ` Yes , I will wash you with pleasure , ' said the girl , and began to wash and scrub the ugly face , but she could n't help thinking that it was a very unpleasant piece of work . When she had done it , and done it well , another head rose up out of the water , and this one was uglier still . ` Brush me , girl ! ' said the head . ` Yes , I will brush you with pleasure , ' said the girl , and set to work with the tangled hair , and , as may be easily imagined , this too was by no means pleasant work . When she had got it done , another and a much more ugly and horrible-looking head rose up out of the water . ` Kiss me , girl ! ' said the head . ` Yes , I will kiss you , ' said the man 's daughter , and she did it , but she thought it was the worst bit of work that she had ever had to do in her life . So the heads all began to talk to each other , and to ask what they should do for this girl who was so full of kindliness . ` She shall be the prettiest girl that ever was , and fair and bright as the day , ' said the first head . ` Gold shall drop from her hair whenever she brushes it , ' said the second . ` Gold shall drop from her mouth whenever she speaks , ' said the third head .
So when the man 's daughter went home , looking as beautiful and bright as day , the step-mother and her daughter grew much more ill-tempered , and it was worse still when she began to talk , and they saw that golden coins dropped XXXXX her mouth .
