I can remain with you no longer , but must return to my own people . ' ` Your desire to go home pleases me , ' said Mother Holle , ` and because you have served me so faithfully , I will show you the way back into the world myself . ' So she took her by the hand and led her to an open door , and as the girl passed through it there fell a heavy shower of gold all over her , till she was covered with it from top to toe . ` That 's a reward for being such a good little maid , ' said Mother Holle , and she gave her the spindle too that had fallen into the well . Then she shut the door , and the girl found herself back in the world again , not far from her own house ; and when she came to the courtyard the old hen , who sat on the top of the wall , called out : ` Click , clock , clack , Our golden maid 's come back . ' Then she went in to her stepmother , and as she had returned covered with gold she was welcomed home . She proceeded to tell all that had happened to her , and when the mother heard how she had come by her riches , she was most anxious to secure the same luck for her own idle , ugly daughter ; so she told her to sit at the well and spin . In order to make her spindle bloody , she stuck her hand into a hedge of thorns and pricked her finger . Then she threw the spindle into the well , and jumped in herself after it . Like her sister she came to the beautiful meadow , and followed the same path . When she reached the baker 's oven the bread called out as before : ` Oh ! take me out , take me out , or I shall be burnt to a cinder . I am quite done enough . ' But the good-for-nothing girl answered : ' A pretty joke , indeed ; just as if I should dirty my hands for you ! ' And on she went . Soon she came to the apple tree , which cried : ` Oh ! shake me , shake me , my apples are all quite ripe . ' ` I 'll see myself farther , ' she replied , ` one of them might fall on my head . ' And so she pursued her way . When she came to Mother Holle 's house she was n't the least afraid , for she had been warned about her big teeth , and she readily agreed to become her maid .
The first day she worked very hard , and did all her mistress told her , for she thought of the gold she would give her ; but on the second day she began to be lazy , and on the third she would n't even get up XXXXX the morning .
