` Only come with me and we shall be as happy as the day is long together . ' ` But suppose you get tired of me ? ' said Graciosa . The Prince was so grieved at this want of confidence that he left her without another word . The wicked Queen was in such a hurry to punish Graciosa that she thought the sun would never set ; and indeed it was before the appointed time that she came with her four Fairies , and as she fitted the three keys into the locks she said : ` I 'll venture to say that the idle minx has not done anything at all -- she prefers to sit with her hands before her to keep them white . ' But , as soon as she entered , Graciosa presented her with the ball of thread in perfect order , so that she had no fault to find , and could only pretend to discover that it was soiled , for which imaginary fault she gave Graciosa a blow on each cheek , that made her white and pink skin turn green and yellow . And then she sent her back to be locked into the garret once more . Then the Queen sent for the Fairy again and scolded her furiously . ` Do n't make such a mistake again ; find me something that it will be quite impossible for her to do , ' she said . So the next day the Fairy appeared with a huge barrel full of the feathers of all sorts of birds . There were nightingales , canaries , goldfinches , linnets , tomtits , parrots , owls , sparrows , doves , ostriches , bustards , peacocks , larks , partridges , and everything else that you can think of . These feathers were all mixed up in such confusion that the birds themselves could not have chosen out their own . ` Here , ' said the Fairy , ` is a little task which it will take all your prisoner 's skill and patience to accomplish . Tell her to pick out and lay in a separate heap the feathers of each bird . She would need to be a fairy to do it . ' The Queen was more than delighted at the thought of the despair this task would cause the Princess . She sent for her , and with the same threats as before locked her up with the three keys , ordering that all the feathers should be sorted by sunset . Graciosa set to work at once , but before she had taken out a dozen feathers she found that it was perfectly impossible to know one from another . ` Ah ! well , ' she sighed , ` the Queen wishes to kill me , and if I must die I must .
I can not ask Percinet XXXXX help me again , for if he really loved me he would not wait till I called him , he would come without that . ' '
