The Old Widow , The Poor Girl and The Finches

In a small village, there lived a kind hearted poor girl. One day, the girl found a poor little finches. She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the finches stayed with her and sang every morning.

But there was an ill-tempered old widow who didn't like the finches. She cut the finches's tongue. That's why the bird flew away to its previous nest.

Knowing that her finches flew away, the kind poor girl looked for the finches. She walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods. At last, she could find the finches's nest. The finches welcomed her and provided a feast for her.

Before she went home, the finches brought two baskets, one was large and looked heavy, and the other one was small and light. The finches asked her to choose only one. She choose the small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.

Being jealous, the ill-tempered old widow did the same thing as the kind poor girl did. She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as scorpions, centipedes, and other horrible creatures.

Finally, they stung and bit the old widow until death.
