Mother holle led her too to the great door; but while she was standing beneath it, instead of the gold a big kettle of pitch was emptied over her. "that is the reward of your service," said mother holle, and shut the door. so the lazy girl went home; but she was quite covered with pitch and the cock by the well side, as soon as he saw her. After waiting awhile, she went to mother holle and said, ’i am so homesick, that i cannot stay with you any longer, for although i am so happy here, i must return to my own people.’. Neither did she make mother holle’s bed as she ought, and did not shake it so as to make the feathers fly up. mother holle was soon tired of this, and gave her notice to leave. the lazy girl was willing enough to go, and thought that now the golden rain would come.
