This is a tale with a moral: you cannot expect help from the others if you never help those in need. The magic figure is again three. There are three elements, representing the three realms, that interpellate both girls: an oven, a cow and a tree (a human invention, an animal and a plant), which are decisive in the plot development. The good, helpful and clever sister responds satisfactorily, the evil, idle, ill-tempered one will discover that she is not able to prevail alone, she needs help from other creatures to escape revenge from the wicked witch. This story was published in English Fairy Tales, retold by Flora Annie Steel (1922), illustrated by Arthur Rackham, but a version of it can be found in Grimm Brothers’ collection as well as a similar plot can be traced in Ion Creanga’s Fata mosneagului si fata babei that can be listened to in Romanian, Spanish and Catalan on CUENTACUARENTENAS.
