When the three women left, the girl saw the Queen.
“All the thread is ready!” said the girl.
The Queen was very pleased. The three rooms were empty and the thread was ready.
“Let’s plan the wedding!” said the Queen.
Everybody at the palace was busy. There was a lot to do before the wedding.
The Queen wrote the names of all the guests on a list. The list was very long.
“Who are you going to invite to your wedding?” She asked the girl.
“My mother, of course,” said the girl. “And my three aunts. I mustn’t forget my three kind aunts.”
The Queen wrote their names on the list too.
The prince was very happy because he loved the girl a lot.
“She is a good girl and she is very beautiful,” he thought.
On the day of the wedding, the girl put on a lovely dress. She was very beautiful! The prince was very handsome too. All the guests were in beautiful clothes. The food was delicious and everybody was happy.
Suddenly, the three strange women came into the room. They weren’t beautiful! Their clothes were old. The other guests were very surprised. Who were these strange women?”
“Welcome to my wedding, my kind aunts,” said the girl.
The prince was surprised too. “Are there strange women my beautiful wife’s aunts? That’s impossible!” he thought.
The prince wanted to know why his wife’s aunts looked strange.
“Why have you got a big foot?” the prince asked the first woman.
“I’m a spinner and I press the pedal with my foot,” she answered.
“Why have you got a big lip?” he asked the second woman.
“I’m a spinner with I make the flax wet with my lip,” she answered.
“Why have you got big thumb?” he asked the third woman.
“I’m a spinner and I twist the thread with my thumb,” she answered.
“Then my beautiful wife must never spin again!” said the prince.
What a lucky girl! She married on a prince and she never touched a spinning wheel again. We all know she didn’t like to spin.
