0:00 [Music] one eye two eyes and three eyes once upon a time in a far-off land there lived a woman with her three daughters two of the daughters one eye and three eyes were her favorites she loved them both dearly and gave them whatever they asked for the other daughter however had just two eyes and since she looked very much like the normal people her sisters and mother had a great disdain for her she was given their old and worn clothes to wear and was made to eat only their leftovers they did everything they could to make her very unhappy
0:48 but even through all the trouble they gave her she was still kind and generous to all she met and saw hello little birds are you hungry i am sorry this isn't much but you may eat it one day as her sisters and mother finished their lunch two eyes then took her place at the table to eat you know one eye since two wise is different from us must she sit at our table [Music] you are right two eyes you do not belong with us go away and do not come near poor two eyes was so hurt by their words that she ran out crying
1:35 while she cried suddenly with a flash of light an old fairy magically appeared and stood in front of her she wore a cloak that glistened in the sun and carried a staff made of sparkling precious gems two eyes was extremely amazed why are you weeping dear little two eyes oh good fairy my mother and sisters hate me for having two eyes they give me only leftovers to eat and treat me ever so badly wipe away your tears my dear and i will tell you something good do you see the stick that you carry every time you are hungry chant this
2:21 spell magic stick hop to my beat cover the table with something to eat the stick then started to glow brightly it flew out of two eyes hands and transformed itself into a lovely little table spread with the most delicious food two eyes had ever seen oh how wonderful it smells so amazing now you won't be hungry eat and drink as much as you wish and when you are done just say magic stick hear me pray and take the table quite away and then it will vanish again
3:07 saying this with a wave of her magic staff the old fairy disappeared two eyes was most amazed at all she saw but she had been starving for far too long and so ate up each and everything from the table the food was quite delicious i am so very happy but now i must hide this all away magic stick hear me pray and take the table quite away and amazingly the table and everything on it had changed itself back into the stick in the evening when she returned there lying on the table was a plate of leftovers kept for her
3:53 but she did not touch it and happily walked past it from then on two eyes would go out every day eat and drink to her heart's content and come home happily [Music] but one day one eye and three eyes noticed that their sister wasn't eating what they left her there is something wrong about two eyes she doesn't eat what we give her anymore she may have discovered other ways of getting food we must find out the truth [Music] so the next day as two eyes set out happily to the field her two sisters quietly followed behind her she looked to see that no one was
4:39 following her but her sisters made sure she never found out when two eyes reached there she chanted out loudly magic stick hop to my beat cover the table with something to eat and immediately the table magically appeared with all the delicious food the two sisters were secretly watching and their eyes widened at everything they saw this is how she eats every day no wonder she is never hungry anymore quick let us go home and tell everything to mother [Music] they ran home as fast as they could and
5:24 when their mother heard all that two eyes had done she was furious how dare she eat better food than us let her come home and then we will take her magic stick away [Music] so they waited for two eyes to return and when she did her mother grabbed the stick out of two eyes head and broke it into pieces no oh why would you do that this will teach you a lesson when you decide to cheat your sisters and me again now you will go hungry for good poor little two eyes was heartbroken she picked up the broken pieces of the stick and ran out
6:10 she went in the garden and wept bitterly just then the old fairy appeared before her again my sweet two eyes what is wrong why are you crying dear child oh kind fairy the magic stick which you gave me and would spread the table so beautifully my mother has broken into pieces now i must suffer from hunger again hmm two eyes i will give you a good piece of advice take the pieces of the stick and bury it in the garden where the moon shines the brightest that be sure of will bring you good luck
6:57 the old fairy once again waved her magic wand and in a flash disappeared from the night two eyes trusted the fairy's words and did as she was told the next morning there in the garden stood a most wondrous tree it's every leaf glistened of silver and it had fruits of gold that glowed in the sunlight the mother and her two daughters stared at it with amazement never in their lives had they seen such a lovely sight the tree is so beautiful but where does it come from mother i do not know it is indeed a very strange thing let us go out and pick the fruits
7:45 only two eyes knew that it had sprung from the broken magic stick one eye three eyes and their mother ran out and jumped high to pick the golden fruits but every time they reached out the tree would bend its branches away from them oh why can we not even get a single leaf of this tree i shall rest for i am very tired two eyes had been watching them and she now looked at the tree let me try too perhaps i'll be able to pick a fruit [Music] try all you want if we couldn't do it how will you succeed but as two eyes reached up to pick out the silver branches the tree did not
8:31 bend away from her if anything it glittered all the more and bent forward so the two eyes may pick as many fruits as she pleased she tried giving them to her mother hoping they would be happy but by seeing that only she was able to pluck the fruit from the tree they only turned jealous it happened one evening that when they were all standing together by the tree that a young knight came riding along the mother turned hardly towards two eyes quick two eyes go and hide in the bushes we do not want you to disgrace us poor two eyes hardly went and hid herself in the bushes the knight was a very handsome young man he rode up and saw the marvelous tree of
9:17 gold and silver he wondered who it belonged to and then saw the two sisters whom does this beautiful tree belong to whoever will give me a twig of it shall have whatever she asks for the tree belongs to us we would certainly break off a twig for you they jumped and tried very hard to break a branch but in vain the tree bent its twigs and fruit away from their hands and wouldn't let them touch it it is very strange that the tree should belong to you and yet you have not been able to break anything from it i had better leave instead of wasting my time and so he left the two sisters and their
10:05 mother were very annoyed do not worry my dear children perhaps he will come back tomorrow let us try harder then when they left two eyes came out from behind the bushes and sat by the tree she was thinking deeply about the night how handsome he is if only i could have picked a branch off the tree and given it to him i could have told him how much i love him no sooner did she say this then she heard the old fairy's voice coming from the tree little two eyes you have been so kind even in your sadness and a kind heart deserves to be rewarded
10:52 i have heard your wish and if that is really what you want i will grant it for you oh yes i would wish for nothing more than to be with my beloved knight i wish this with all my heart very well then do as i tell you pluck one leaf from the tree and put it on your dress and as she did this her torn dress turned into the most beautiful dress imaginable it had silver leaves and ruby roses all over it now sit in this silver leaf and it will fly you through the night sky to your beloved and as the voice stopped speaking one
11:37 silver leaf fluttered slowly down to two eyes it grew in size and sparkled magnificently in the moonlight two eyes sat in the leaf and it sailed her away through the night sky past the moon and stars and onto the night's balcony as she got off the leaf it now changed into a silver branch with a golden fruit hanging from it oh dear handsome knight please hear me call for you i have brought you the branch of the silver tree that you wished for who is it that calls me out so late but as he came out and saw two eyes standing there on the balcony he gasped
12:22 for her beauty was unlike any other and he couldn't take his eyes off her two eyes was most delighted to see him my lord you promised to give anything to the person who brought you this silver branch indeed and what is it that you desire two eyes tells him all about her mother and her two sisters and how they have ill treated her i have suffered from hunger and thirst and sadness and have come to ask if you would take me as your bride i would be happy to marry you my dear but before that i must punish your mother and your sisters for treating you
13:09 like that oh forgive them my knight and let's forget about them for they are my bitter past let us cherish today and build a beautiful tomorrow so the very next day the knight and two eyes were married to each other in a grand ceremony and there they lived happily ever after [Music]
