One winter 's day when there was a hard frost , and mountain and valley were covered with snow , the woman made a dress of paper , and calling the girl to her said : ` There , put on this dress and go out into the wood and fetch me a basket of strawberries ! ' ` Now Heaven help us , ' replied her stepdaughter ; ` strawberries do n't grow in winter ; the earth is all frozen and the snow has covered up everything ; and why send me in a paper dress ? it is so cold outside that one 's very breath freezes ; the wind will whistle through my dress , and the brambles tear it from my body . ' ` How dare you contradict me ! ' said her stepmother ; ` be off with you at once , and do n't show your face again till you have filled the basket with strawberries . ' Then she gave her a hard crust of bread , saying : ` That will be enough for you to-day , ' and she thought to herself : ` The girl will certainly perish of hunger and cold outside , and I sha n't be bothered with her any more . ' The girl was so obedient that she put on the paper dress and set out with her little basket . There was nothing but snow far and near , and not a green blade of grass to be seen anywhere . When she came to the wood she saw a little house , and out of it peeped three little dwarfs . She wished them good-day , and knocked modestly at the door . They called out to her to enter , so she stepped in and sat down on a seat by the fire , wishing to warm herself and eat her breakfast . The Dwarfs said at once : ` Give us some of your food ! ' ` Gladly , ' she said , and breaking her crust in two , she gave them the half . Then they asked her what she was doing in the depths of winter in her thin dress . ` Oh , ' she answered , ' I have been sent to get a basketful of strawberries , and I dare n't show my face again at home till I bring them with me . ' When she had finished her bread they gave her a broom and told her to sweep away the snow from the back door . As soon as she left the room to do so , the three little men consulted what they should give her as a reward for being so sweet and good , and for sharing her last crust with them . The first said : ` Every day she shall grow prettier . ' The second : ` Every time she opens her mouth a piece of gold shall fall out . ' And the third : ' A King shall come and marry her . '
The girl in the meantime was doing XXXXX the Dwarfs had bidden her , and was sweeping the snow away from the back door , and what do you think she found there ?
