The girl went into the wood and walked straight up to the little house. The three little men peeped out again, but she gave them no greeting, and without looking round or taking any notice of them she came stumping into the room, sat herself down by the oven, and began to eat her bread and butter and cakes.

"Give us some of that," cried the little men, but she answered, "I've not enough for myself; how can I give away any?" Now when she had done with her eating, they said, "Here is a broom, go and sweep all clean by the back door."

"Oh, go and do it yourselves," answered she; "I am not your housemaid." But when she saw that they were not going to give her anything, she went out to the door. Then the three little men said among themselves, "What shall we do to her, because she is so unpleasant, and has such a wicked jealous heart, grudging everybody everything?" The first said, "She shall grow uglier every day." The second said, "Each time she speaks a toad shall jump out of her mouth at every word." The third said, "She shall die a miserable death."

这个姑娘进了森林之后，径直向小屋走去。 三个小矮人又在屋里向外张望，可是她根本不和他们打招呼，既不看他们，也不和他们说话，大摇大摆地走进屋，一屁股坐到炉子旁，吃起自己的面包和蛋糕来。"分一点给我们吧，"小矮人们说；可是她却回答："这都不够我自己吃的，怎么能分给别人呢？"等她吃完，他们又说："这里有把扫帚，把后门的雪扫干净。"她回答："我又不是你们的佣人。"看到他们不会给她任何礼物了，她便自己冲出了屋子。 三个小矮人商量道："像她这种坏心肠的小懒鬼，又不肯施舍给别人东西，我们该送她什么呢？"第一个矮人说："我让她长得一天比一天丑！"第二个矮人说："我让她一开口说话就从嘴里跳出一只癞蛤蟆！"第三个矮人说："我让她不得好死！"
