The girl did as she was bid , but the water drew the hole together and the boot filled up to the very top . So she went and told her father the result . He got up and went to see for himself , and when he saw that it was true and no mistake , he accepted his fate , proposed to the widow , and they were married at once . On the morning after the wedding , when the two girls awoke , milk was standing for the man 's daughter to wash in and wine for her to drink ; but for the woman 's daughter , only water to wash in and only water to drink . On the second morning , water to wash in and water to drink was standing for the man 's daughter as well . And on the third morning , water to wash in and water to drink was standing for the man 's daughter , and milk to wash in and wine to drink for the woman 's daughter ; and so it continued ever after . The woman hated her stepdaughter from the bottom of her heart , and did all she could to make her life miserable . She was as jealous as she could possibly be , because the girl was so beautiful and charming , while her own daughter was both ugly and repulsive . 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 XXXXX , and breaking her crust in two , she gave them the half .
