" why , " said she , " that 's finn 's bread -- the only bread he ever eats when at home ; but , indeed , i forgot to tell you that nobody can eat it but himself and that child in the cradle there . i thought , however , that as you were reported to be rather a stout little fellow of your size you might be able to manage it , and i did not wish to affront a man that thinks himself able to fight finn . here 's another cake -- maybe it 's not so hard as that . " far rua , at the moment , was not only hungry , but ravenous , so he accordingly made a fresh set at the second cake , and immediately another yell was heard twice as loud as the first . " thunder and giblets ! " he roared , " take your bread out of this , or i will not have a tooth in my head ; there 's another pair of them gone . " " well , honest man , " replied oonagh , " if you 're not able to eat the bread say so quietly , and do n't be awakening the child in the cradle there . there , now , he 's awake upon me ! " finn now gave a skirl that frightened the giant , as coming from such a youngster as he was represented to be . " mother , " said he , " i 'm hungry -- get me something to eat . " oonagh went over , and putting into his hand a cake that had no griddle in it -- finn , whose appetite in the meantime was sharpened by what he saw going forward , soon made it disappear . far rua was thunderstruck , and secretly thanked his stars that he had the good fortune to miss meeting finn , for , as he said to himself , i 'd have no chance with a man who could eat such bread as that , which even his son that 's in the cradle can munch before my eyes . " i 'd like to take a glimpse at the lad in the cradle , " said he to oonagh , " for i can tell you that the infant who can manage that nutriment is no joke to look at or to feed of a scarce summer .

" with all the veins of my heart , " replied oonagh . " get up , acushla , and show this decent little man something that wo n't be unworthy of your father , finn m'coul . " finn , who was dressed for the occasion as much like a boy as possible , got up , and bringing far rua out , " are you strong ? " said he . " thunder and ounze ! " exclaimed the other , " what a voice in so small a chap ! " " are you strong ? " said finn again . " are you able to squeeze water out of that white stone ? " he asked , putting one into far rua 's hand . the latter squeezed and squeezed the stone , but to no purpose ; he might pull the rocks of lumford 's glen asunder , and flatten a thunderbolt , but to squeeze water out of a white stone was beyond his strength . finn eyed him with great contempt as he kept straining and squeezing and squeezing and straining till he got black in the face with the efforts . " ah , you 're a poor creature , " said finn . " you a giant ! give me the stone here , and when i 'll show what finn 's little son can do you may then judge of what my daddy himself is . " finn then took the stone , and then , slyly exchanging it for the curds , he squeezed the latter until the whey , as clear as water , oozed out in a little shower from his hand . " i 'll now go in , " said he , " to my cradle ; for i scorn to lose my time with anyone that 's not able to eat my daddy 's bread , or squeeze water out of a stone . bedad , you had better be off out of this before he comes back , for if he catches you , it 's in flummery he 'd have you in two minutes .

far rua , seeing what he had seen , was of the same opinion himself ; his knees knocked together with the terror of finn 's return , and he accordingly hastened in to bid oonagh farewell , and to assure her that , from that day out , he never wished to hear of , much less to see , her husband . " i admit fairly that i 'm not a match for him , " said he , " strong as i am . tell him i will avoid him as i would the plague , and that i will make myself scarce in this part of the country while i live . " finn , in the meantime , had gone into the cradle , where he lay very quietly , his heart in his mouth with delight that far rua was about to take his departure without discovering the tricks that been played off on him . " it 's well for you , " said oonagh , " that he does n't happen to be here , for it 's nothing but hawk 's meat he 'd make of you . " " i know that , " said far rua , " divel a thing else he 'd make of me ; but , before i go , will you let me feel what kind of teeth they are that can eat griddle - cakes like that ? " and he pointed to it as he spoke . " with all the pleasure in life , " says she ; " only as they 're far back in his head you must put your finger a good way in . " far rua was surprised to find so powerful a set of grinders in one so young ; but he was still much more so on finding , when he took his hand from finn 's mouth , that he had left the very finger upon which his whole strength depended behind him . he gave one loud groan and fell down at once with terror and weakness . this was all finn wanted , who now knew that his most powerful and bitterest enemy was completely at his mercy . he instantly started out of the cradle , and in a few minutes the great far rua , that was for such a length of time the terror of him and all his followers , was no more .

it so happened that finn and his gigantic relatives were all working at the giant 's causeway in order to make a bridge , or , what was still better , a good stout pad - road across to scotland . finn , who was very fond of his wife , oonagh , took it into his head that he would go home and see how the poor woman got on in his absence . so accordingly he pulled up a fir - tree , and after lopping off the roots and branches , made a walking - stick of it and set out on his way to oonagh . finn lived at this time on knockmany hill , which faces cullamore , that rises up , half hill , half mountain , on the opposite side . the truth is that honest finn 's affection for his wife was by no manner of means the whole cause of his journey home . there was at that time another giant , named far rua -- some say he was irish and some say he was scotch -- but whether scotch or irish , sorrow doubt of it but he was a targer . no other giant of the day could stand before him . such was his strength that , when well vexed , he could give a stamp that shook the country about him . the fame and name of him went far and near , and nothing in the shape of a man , it was said , had any chance with him in a fight . whether the story is true or not i can not say , but the report went that by one blow of his fist he flattened a thunderbolt , and kept it in his pocket in the shape of a pancake to show to all his enemies when they were about to fight him . undoubtedly he had given every giant in ireland a considerable beating , barring finn m'coul himself . he swore that he would never rest night or day , winter or summer , till he could serve finn with the same sauce , if he could catch him . finn , however , had a strong disinclination to meet a giant who could make a young earthquake or flatten a thunderbolt when he was angry . accordingly he kept dodging about from place to place -- not much to his credit as a trojan , to be sure -- whenever he happened to get the hard word that far rua was on the scent of him . and the long and the short of it was that he heard far rua was coming to the causeway to have a trial of strength with him . he was , naturally enough , seized in consequence with a very warm and sudden fit of affection for his wife , who was delicate in her health , poor woman . she was leading , besides , a very lonely , uncomfortable life of it in his absence . " god save all here , " said finn good - humouredly , putting his honest face into his own door . " musha , finn , avick , an ' you 're welcome to your own oonagh , you darlin ' bully . " here followed a smack that it is said to have made the waters of the lake curl , as it were , with kindness and sympathy .
|
he wanted to give finn a considerable beating .

" faith , " said finn , " beautiful ; and how are you , oonagh -- and how did you sport your figure during my absence , my bilberry ? " " never a merrier -- as bouncing a grass widow as ever there was in sweet ' tyrone among the bushes . ' " finn gave a short , good - humoured cough . he laughed most heartily to show her how much he was delighted that she made herself happy in his absence . " an ' what brought you home so soon , finn ? " said she . " why , avourneen , " said finn , putting in his answer in the proper way , " never the thing but the purest of love and affection for yourself . sure , you know that 's truth , anyhow , oonagh . " finn spent two or three happy days with oonagh , and felt himself very comfortable considering the dread he had of far rua . this , however , grew upon him so much that his wife could not but perceive something lay on his mind which he kept altogether to himself . let a woman alone in the meantime for ferreting or wheedling a secret out of her good man when she wishes . finn was a proof of this . " it 's this far rua , " said he , " that 's troublin ' me . when the fellow gets angry and begins to stamp he 'll shake you a whole townland . it 's well known that he can stop a thunderbolt , for he always carries one about with him in the shape of a pancake to show to anyone that might misdoubt it . " as he spoke he clapped his thumb in his mouth , as he always did when he wanted to prophesy or to know anything . " he 's coming , " said finn . " i see him below at dungannon . " " an ' who is it , avick ? " " far rua , " replied finn , " and how to manage i do n't know . if i run away i am disgraced , and i know that sooner or later i must meet him , for my thumb tells me so . "

" when will he be here ? " says she . " to - morrow , about two o'clock , " replied finn with a groan . " do n't be cast down , " said oonagh . " depend on me , and , maybe , i 'll bring you out of this scrape better than ever you could bring yourself . " this quieted finn 's heart very much , for he knew that oonagh was hand - and - glove with the fairies . indeed , to tell the truth , she was supposed to be a fairy herself . if she was , however , she must have been a kind - hearted one , for by all accounts she never did anything but good in the neighbourhood . now , it so happened that oonagh had a sister named granua living opposite to them , on the very top of cullamore , which i have mentioned already . this granua was quite as powerful as herself . the beautiful valley that lies between the granlisses is not more than three or four miles broad , so that of a summer evening granua and oonagh were able to hold many an agreeable conversation across it , from one hill - top to the other . upon this occasion oonagh resolved to consult her sister as to what was best to be done in the difficulty that surrounded them . " granua , " said she , " are you at home ? " " no , " said the other , " i 'm picking bilberries at althadhawan " ( the devil 's glen ) .

" " what do you see ? " asked the other . " goodness be about us ! " exclaimed granua , " i see the biggest giant that ever was known coming up from dungannon .

" i 'll call to him , " she replied , " to come up to cullamore and refresh himself , and maybe that will give you and finn time to think of some plan to get yourselves out of the scrape . but , " she proceeded , " i 'm short of butter , having in the house only half a dozen firkins , and as i 'm to have a few giants and giantesses to spend the evenin ' with me i 'd feel thankful , oonagh , if you 'd throw me up fifteen or sixteen tubs , or the largest miscaun you 've got , and you 'll oblige me very much . " " i 'll do that with a heart and a half , " replied oonagh ; " and , indeed , granua , i feel myself under great obligations to you for your kindness in keeping him off us till we see what can be done ; for what would become of us all if anything happened to finn , poor man ! " she accordingly got the largest miscaun of butter she had -- which might be about the weight of a couple of dozen millstones , so that you can easily judge of its size -- and calling up her sister , " granua , " says she , " are you ready ? i 'm going to throw you up a miscaun , so be prepared to catch it . " " i will , " said the other . " a good throw , now , and take care it does not fall short . " oonagh threw it , but in consequence of her anxiety about finn and far rua she forgot to say the charm that was to send it up , so that instead of reaching cullamore , as she expected , it fell about half - way between the two hills at the edge of the broad bog , near augher . " my curse upon you ! " she exclaimed , " you 've disgraced me . i now change you into a grey stone . lie there as a testimony of what has happened , and may evil betide the first living man that will ever attempt to move or injure you ! " and , sure enough , there it lies to this day , with the mark of the four fingers and thumb imprinted on it , exactly as it came out of her hand . " never mind , " said granua , " i must only do the best i can with far rua . if all fail , i 'll give him a cast of heather broth , or a panada of oak bark . but , above all things , think of some plan to get finn out of the scrape he 's in , or he 's a lost man . you know you used to be sharp and ready - witted ; and my own opinion is , oonagh , that it will go hard with you , or you 'll outdo far rua yet . " she then made a high smoke on the top of the hill , after which she put her finger in her mouth and gave three whistles , and by that far rua knew that he was invited to the top of cullamore -- for this was the way that the irish long ago gave a sign to all strangers and travellers to let them know they are welcome to come and take share of whatever was going .

in the meantime finn was very melancholy , and did not know what to do , or how to act at all . far rua was an ugly customer , no doubt , to meet with ; and , moreover , the idea of the confounded " cake " aforesaid flattened the very heart within him . what chance could he have , strong and brave as he was , with a man who could , when put in a passion , walk the country into earthquakes and knock thunderbolts into pancakes ? the thing was impossible , and finn knew not on what hand to turn him . right or left , backward or forward , where to go he could form no guess whatever . " oonagh , " said he , " can you do anything for me ? where 's all your invention ? am i to be skivered like a rabbit before your eyes and to have my name disgraced for ever in the sight of all my tribe , and me the best man among them ? how am i to fight this man - mountain -- this huge cross between an earthquake and a thunderbolt -- with a pancake in his pocket that was once---- ? " " be aisy , finn , " replied oonagh . " troth , i 'm ashamed of you . keep your toe in your pump , will you ? talking of pancakes , maybe we 'll give him as good as any he brings with him -- thunderbolts or otherwise . if i do n't treat him to as smart feeding as he 's got this many a day , do n't trust oonagh again . leave him to me , and do just as i bid you .

" " ay , " said oonagh , " there 's our difficulty . that 's far rua , and he 's comin ' up now to leather finn . what 's to be done ? " this relieved finn very much , for , after all , he had great confidence in his wife , knowing , as he did , that she had got him out of many a quandary before . the present , however , was the greatest of all ; but , still , he began to get courage and to eat his victuals as usual . oonagh then drew the nine woollen threads of different colours , which she always did to find out the best way of succeeding in anything of importance she went about . she then plaited them into three plaits , with three colours in each , putting one on her right arm , one round her heart , and the third round her right ankle , for then she knew that nothing could fail her that she undertook . having everything now prepared , she sent round to the neighbours and borrowed one - and - twenty iron griddles , which she took and kneaded into the hearts of one - and - twenty cakes of bread , and these she baked on the fire in the usual way , setting them aside in the cupboard according as they were done . she then put down a large pot of new milk , which she made into curds and whey , and gave finn due instructions how to use the curds when far rua should come . having done all this , she sat down quite contented waiting for his arrival on the next day about two o'clock , that being the hour at which he was expected -- for finn knew as much by the sucking of his thumb . now , this was a curious property that finn 's thumb had ; but notwithstanding all the wisdom and logic he used to suck out of it , it could never have stood to him here were it not for the wit of his wife . in this very thing , moreover , he was very much resembled by his great foe , far rua ; for it was well known that the huge strength that he possessed all lay in the middle finger of his right hand , and that if he happened by any chance to lose it , he was no more , notwithstanding his bulk , than a common man .

she then brought far rua down to see the place , which was then all one solid rock ; and after looking at it for some time , he cracked his right middle finger nine times , and , stooping down , tore a cleft about four hundred feet deep and a quarter of a mile in length , which has since been christened by the name of lumford 's glen . this feat nearly threw oonagh herself off her guard ; but what wo n't a woman 's sagacity and presence of mind accomplish ? " you 'll now come in , " said she , " and eat a bit of such humble fare as we can give . finn , even though you and he were enemies , would scorn not to treat you kindly in his own house ; and , indeed , if i did n't do it even in his absence , he would not be pleased with me . " she accordingly brought him in , and placing half a dozen of the cakes we spoke of before him , together with a can or two of butter , a side of boiled bacon , and a stack of cabbage , she desired him to help himself -- for this , be it known , was long before the invention of potatoes . far rua , who , by the way , was a glutton as well as a hero , put one of the cakes in his mouth to take a huge whack out of it , when both finn and oonagh were stunned with a noise that resembled something between a growl and a yell . " blood and fury ! " he shouted out . " how is this ? here are two of my teeth out ! what kind of bread is this you gave me ? " " what 's the matter ? " said oonagh coolly . " matter ! " shouted the other . " why , here are two of the best teeth in my head gone . " " why , " said she , " that 's finn 's bread -- the only bread he ever eats when at home ; but , indeed , i forgot to tell you that nobody can eat it but himself and that child in the cradle there . i thought , however , that as you were reported to be rather a stout little fellow of your size you might be able to manage it , and i did not wish to affront a man that thinks himself able to fight finn . here 's another cake -- maybe it 's not so hard as that . " far rua , at the moment , was not only hungry , but ravenous , so he accordingly made a fresh set at the second cake , and immediately another yell was heard twice as loud as the first . " thunder and giblets ! " he roared , " take your bread out of this , or i will not have a tooth in my head ; there 's another pair of them gone . " " well , honest man , " replied oonagh , " if you 're not able to eat the bread say so quietly , and do n't be awakening the child in the cradle there . there , now , he 's awake upon me ! " finn now gave a skirl that frightened the giant , as coming from such a youngster as he was represented to be . " mother , " said he , " i 'm hungry -- get me something to eat . " oonagh went over , and putting into his hand a cake that had no griddle in it -- finn , whose appetite in the meantime was sharpened by what he saw going forward , soon made it disappear . far rua was thunderstruck , and secretly thanked his stars that he had the good fortune to miss meeting finn , for , as he said to himself , i 'd have no chance with a man who could eat such bread as that , which even his son that 's in the cradle can munch before my eyes . " i 'd like to take a glimpse at the lad in the cradle , " said he to oonagh , " for i can tell you that the infant who can manage that nutriment is no joke to look at or to feed of a scarce summer .

" with all the veins of my heart , " replied oonagh . " get up , acushla , and show this decent little man something that wo n't be unworthy of your father , finn m'coul . " finn , who was dressed for the occasion as much like a boy as possible , got up , and bringing far rua out , " are you strong ? " said he . " thunder and ounze ! " exclaimed the other , " what a voice in so small a chap ! " " are you strong ? " said finn again . " are you able to squeeze water out of that white stone ? " he asked , putting one into far rua 's hand . the latter squeezed and squeezed the stone , but to no purpose ; he might pull the rocks of lumford 's glen asunder , and flatten a thunderbolt , but to squeeze water out of a white stone was beyond his strength . finn eyed him with great contempt as he kept straining and squeezing and squeezing and straining till he got black in the face with the efforts . " ah , you 're a poor creature , " said finn . " you a giant ! give me the stone here , and when i 'll show what finn 's little son can do you may then judge of what my daddy himself is . " finn then took the stone , and then , slyly exchanging it for the curds , he squeezed the latter until the whey , as clear as water , oozed out in a little shower from his hand . " i 'll now go in , " said he , " to my cradle ; for i scorn to lose my time with anyone that 's not able to eat my daddy 's bread , or squeeze water out of a stone . bedad , you had better be off out of this before he comes back , for if he catches you , it 's in flummery he 'd have you in two minutes .

she then brought far rua down to see the place , which was then all one solid rock ; and after looking at it for some time , he cracked his right middle finger nine times , and , stooping down , tore a cleft about four hundred feet deep and a quarter of a mile in length , which has since been christened by the name of lumford 's glen . this feat nearly threw oonagh herself off her guard ; but what wo n't a woman 's sagacity and presence of mind accomplish ? " you 'll now come in , " said she , " and eat a bit of such humble fare as we can give . finn , even though you and he were enemies , would scorn not to treat you kindly in his own house ; and , indeed , if i did n't do it even in his absence , he would not be pleased with me . " she accordingly brought him in , and placing half a dozen of the cakes we spoke of before him , together with a can or two of butter , a side of boiled bacon , and a stack of cabbage , she desired him to help himself -- for this , be it known , was long before the invention of potatoes . far rua , who , by the way , was a glutton as well as a hero , put one of the cakes in his mouth to take a huge whack out of it , when both finn and oonagh were stunned with a noise that resembled something between a growl and a yell . " blood and fury ! " he shouted out . " how is this ? here are two of my teeth out ! what kind of bread is this you gave me ? " " what 's the matter ? " said oonagh coolly . " matter ! " shouted the other . " why , here are two of the best teeth in my head gone . " " why , " said she , " that 's finn 's bread -- the only bread he ever eats when at home ; but , indeed , i forgot to tell you that nobody can eat it but himself and that child in the cradle there . i thought , however , that as you were reported to be rather a stout little fellow of your size you might be able to manage it , and i did not wish to affront a man that thinks himself able to fight finn . here 's another cake -- maybe it 's not so hard as that . " far rua , at the moment , was not only hungry , but ravenous , so he accordingly made a fresh set at the second cake , and immediately another yell was heard twice as loud as the first . " thunder and giblets ! " he roared , " take your bread out of this , or i will not have a tooth in my head ; there 's another pair of them gone . " " well , honest man , " replied oonagh , " if you 're not able to eat the bread say so quietly , and do n't be awakening the child in the cradle there . there , now , he 's awake upon me ! " finn now gave a skirl that frightened the giant , as coming from such a youngster as he was represented to be . " mother , " said he , " i 'm hungry -- get me something to eat . " oonagh went over , and putting into his hand a cake that had no griddle in it -- finn , whose appetite in the meantime was sharpened by what he saw going forward , soon made it disappear . far rua was thunderstruck , and secretly thanked his stars that he had the good fortune to miss meeting finn , for , as he said to himself , i 'd have no chance with a man who could eat such bread as that , which even his son that 's in the cradle can munch before my eyes . " i 'd like to take a glimpse at the lad in the cradle , " said he to oonagh , " for i can tell you that the infant who can manage that nutriment is no joke to look at or to feed of a scarce summer . " " with all the veins of my heart , " replied oonagh . " get up , acushla , and show this decent little man something that wo n't be unworthy of your father , finn m'coul . " finn , who was dressed for the occasion as much like a boy as possible , got up , and bringing far rua out , " are you strong ? " said he . " thunder and ounze ! " exclaimed the other , " what a voice in so small a chap ! " " are you strong ? " said finn again . " are you able to squeeze water out of that white stone ? " he asked , putting one into far rua 's hand . the latter squeezed and squeezed the stone , but to no purpose ; he might pull the rocks of lumford 's glen asunder , and flatten a thunderbolt , but to squeeze water out of a white stone was beyond his strength . finn eyed him with great contempt as he kept straining and squeezing and squeezing and straining till he got black in the face with the efforts .

" far rua , seeing what he had seen , was of the same opinion himself ; his knees knocked together with the terror of finn 's return , and he accordingly hastened in to bid oonagh farewell , and to assure her that , from that day out , he never wished to hear of , much less to see , her husband . " i admit fairly that i 'm not a match for him , " said he , " strong as i am . tell him i will avoid him as i would the plague , and that i will make myself scarce in this part of the country while i live . " finn , in the meantime , had gone into the cradle , where he lay very quietly , his heart in his mouth with delight that far rua was about to take his departure without discovering the tricks that been played off on him . " it 's well for you , " said oonagh , " that he does n't happen to be here , for it 's nothing but hawk 's meat he 'd make of you . " " i know that , " said far rua , " divel a thing else he 'd make of me ; but , before i go , will you let me feel what kind of teeth they are that can eat griddle - cakes like that ? " and he pointed to it as he spoke . " with all the pleasure in life , " says she ; " only as they 're far back in his head you must put your finger a good way in . " far rua was surprised to find so powerful a set of grinders in one so young ; but he was still much more so on finding , when he took his hand from finn 's mouth , that he had left the very finger upon which his whole strength depended behind him . he gave one loud groan and fell down at once with terror and weakness . this was all finn wanted , who now knew that his most powerful and bitterest enemy was completely at his mercy . he instantly started out of the cradle , and in a few minutes the great far rua , that was for such a length of time the terror of him and all his followers , was no more .

well , it was all mighty good as long as the king had his health . but , you see , in coorse o ' time , the king grew old , by reason he was stiff in his limbs , and when he got stricken in years , his heart failed him . he was lost entirely for want o ' diversions , because he could n't go a huntin ' no longer . by dad , the poor king was obliged at last for to get a goose to distract him . you see , the goose used for to swim across the lake , and go down divin ' for trout ( and not finer trout in all ireland than the same trout ) and catch fish on a friday for the king . if flew every other day round about the lake disctracting the poor king that you 'd think he 'd break his sides laughin ' at the frolicksome tricks of his goose . so , in course o ' time , the goose was the greatest pet in the country , and the biggest rogue , and distracted the king to no end . the poor king was as happy as the day was long . so that 's the way it was . all went on mighty well until , by dad , the goose got stricken in years , as well as the king , and grew stiff in the limbs , like her master , and could n't distract him no longer . then it was that the poor king was lost completely , and did n't know what in the wide world to do . he was gone out of all distractions because the goose was no more in the flower of her blume . well , the king was nigh broken - hearted and melancholy entirely , and was walkin ' one mornin ' by the edge of the lake , lamentin ' his cruel fate , an ' thinkin ' o ' drownin ' himself , that could get no diversion in life , when all of a sudden , turnin ' round the corner beyond , who should he meet but a mighty decent young man comin ' up to him .

once upon a time when wishes came true there was a king 's son who was enchanted by an old witch , so that he was obliged to sit in a large iron stove in a wood . there he lived for many years , and no one could free him . at last a king 's daughter came into the wood ; she had lost her way , and could not find her father 's kingdom again . she had been wandering round and round for nine days , and she came at last to the iron case . a voice came from within and asked her , ' where do you come from , and where do you want to go ? ' she answered , ' i have lost my way to my father 's kingdom , and i shall never get home again . ' then the voice from the iron stove said , ' i will help you to find your home again , and that in a very short time , if you will promise to do what i ask you . i am a greater prince than you are a princess , and i will marry you . ' then she grew frightened , and thought , ' what can a young lassie do with an iron stove ?

cinderella went immediately to gather the finest she could get , and brought it to her godmother , not being able to imagine how this pumpkin could make her go to the ball . her godmother scooped out all the inside of it , having left nothing but the rind ; which done , she struck it with her wand , and the pumpkin was instantly turned into a fine coach , gilded all over with gold .

she then went to look into her mouse - trap , where she found six mice , all alive , and ordered cinderella to lift up a little the trapdoor , when , giving each mouse , as it went out , a little tap with her wand , the mouse was that moment turned into a fine horse , which altogether made a very fine set of six horses of a beautiful mouse - colored dapple - gray . being at a loss for a coachman , " i will go and see , " says cinderella , " if there is never a rat in the rat - trap - we may make a coachman of him . " " you are in the right , " replied her godmother ; " go and look . "

cinderella brought the trap to her , and in it there were three huge rats . the fairy made choice of one of the three which had the largest beard , and , having touched him with her wand , he was turned into a fat , jolly coachman , who had the smartest whiskers eyes ever beheld . after that , she said to her : " go again into the garden , and you will find six lizards behind the watering - pot , bring them to me . " she had no sooner done so but her godmother turned them into six footmen , who skipped up immediately behind the coach , with their liveries all bedaubed with gold and silver , and clung as close behind each other as if they had done nothing else their whole lives . the fairy then said to cinderella : " well , you see here an equipage fit to go to the ball with ; are you not pleased with it ? " " oh ! yes , " cried she ; " but must i go there as i am , in these nasty rags ? " her godmother only just touched her with her wand , and , at the same instant , her clothes were turned into cloth of gold and silver , all beset with jewels . this done , she gave her a pair of glass slippers , the prettiest in the whole world . being thus decked out , she got up into her coach ; but her godmother , above all things , commanded her not to stay till after midnight , telling her , at the same time , that if she stayed one moment longer , the coach would be a pumpkin again , her horses mice , her coachman a rat , her footmen lizards , and her clothes become just as they were before .

it happened that the king 's son gave a ball , and invited all persons of fashion to it . our young misses were also invited , for they cut a very grand figure among the quality . they were mightily delighted at this invitation , and wonderfully busy in choosing out such gowns , petticoats , and head - clothes as might become them . this was a new trouble to cinderella ; for it was she who ironed her sisters ' linen , and plaited their ruffles ; they talked all day long of nothing but how they should be dressed .

as she was eagerly telling her godmother whatever had passed at the ball , her two sisters knocked at the door , which cinderella ran and opened . " how long you have stayed ! " cried she , gaping , rubbing her eyes and stretching herself as if she had been just waked out of her sleep ; she had not , however , any manner of inclination to sleep since they went from home . " if you had been at the ball , " said one of her sisters , " you would not have been tired with it . there came there the finest princess , the most beautiful ever was seen with mortal eyes ; she showed us a thousand civilities , and gave us oranges and citrons . " cinderella seemed very indifferent in the matter ; indeed , she asked them the name of that princess ; but they told her they did not know it , and that the king 's son was very uneasy on her account and would give all the world to know who she was . at this cinderella , smiling , replied : " she must , then , be very beautiful indeed ; how happy you have been ! could not i see her ? ah ! dear miss charlotte , do lend me your yellow suit of clothes which you wear every day . " " ay , to be sure ! " cried miss charlotte ; " lend my clothes to such a dirty cinderwench as you are ! i should be a fool . " cinderella , indeed , expected well such answer , and was very glad of the refusal ; for she would have been sadly put to it if her sister had lent her what she asked for jestingly .
