episode 4
Then first came two white doves; and next two turtle-doves; and after them all the little birds under heaven came, and the little doves stooped their heads down and set to work, pick, pick, pick; and then the others began to pick, pick, pick, and picked out all the good grain and put it into a dish, and left the ashes.
At the end of one hour the work was done, and all flew out again at the windows.
Then she brought the dish to her mother.
But the mother said,
“No, no! Indeed, you have no clothes and cannot dance; you shall not go.”
And when Cinderella begged very hard to go, she said,
“If you can in one hours pick two of these dishes of Pease out of the ashes,; but the little maiden went out into the garden at the back of the house and called as before and all the birds came flying, and in half an hours all was done, and out they flew again.
And then Cinderella took the dishes to her mother, rejoicing to think that she should now go to the all.
But her mother said,
“It is all of no use, you cannot go; you have no clothes, and cannot dance; and you would only put use to shame.”
And off she went with her three daughters to the feast.
Now when all were gone, and nobody left at home, Cinderella went sorrowfully and sat down under the hazel-tree, and cried out-
“Shake, shake, hazel-tree, silver, gold and platinum over me”!
