In a village, there lived a mother who lived with her daughter. The mother was annoyed with her daughter who was very lazy. She did not want to help his mother to weave cloth. One time, the mother's patience was gone. Her daughter always refuses to weave. The mother was angry to beat her daughter to scream in pain.
At the same time, the queen took a walk around the village and passed in front of the mother and her daughter's house.
"What happened? Why did your child cry?" asked the queen.
The mother was shocked and embarrassed to admit that her child was a lazy girl.
"Look, my queen, my child is very diligent in weaving. I can not stop the hobby of weaving. I am poor and cannot fulfill the need to buy materials for weaving, "said the mother.
Queen said "then, your child just come with me. I will take her to the palace. There are many great materials available for weaving, and weaving machines.She can weave to her heart's content in the palace ".
The queen finally brought the girl to the palace. In the palace attic, the queen shows three rooms filled with jute and good quality woven materials.
"You have to weave all these materials into very beautiful fabrics. If you succeed in doing everything, I will marry you with the crown prince, "answered the queen while leaving the room.
The girl was confused and scared. she could not weave at all and did not know what to do.
The next day, he had not succeeded in making a beautiful woven cloth. She was more agitated and frightened.
The girl went outside the palace to get some fresh air. But she remains concerned about her work. He sat pensively on a bench. Soon three women passed. The first woman has wide legs. The second woman has lips hanging from her chin. The third woman has wide thumbs. They asked the girl "what are you worried about, young girl?"
The girl told about the problems she was having. It turns out that the three women are weavers. They are willing to help the girl with several conditions.
‘Alright, we are willing to help you. But there is a condition, you have to invite us to your wedding and acknowledge us as your relatives, we sit at the table with you and the crown prince during a banquet, "said one of them.
"Alright, I agree," the girl said, relieved.
"Calm down, we will do it very quickly," said the three of them.
The three women then entered the palace. The girl told the palace guards that the three women were her brothers. When in the attic of the palace, the three women began to work enthusiastically and quickly. The first woman was in charge of pulling the yarn and moving the spinning levers with her legs. The second woman is tasked with wetting the thread to get into the needle. While the third woman, in charge of twisting and flattening the thread on the table with his thumb. They work very skillfully, skillfully and meticulously. In a short time, beautiful woven fabrics can be finished to fill the palace attic room.
Finally, at one time, the queen came to see the results of the cloth done by the girl. The girl hid the three weavers earlier. The queen was stunned to see beautiful woven fabrics.
"You are very good at weaving, this fabric is very beautiful, keep work," said the queen with a smile.
In a short time, the woven materials turn into very beautiful woven fabrics. The three women succeeded in making a very beautiful woven fabric.
The three women took their leave of the palace. "Don't forget your promise, believe everything will be good for you." Said one of them to the girl.
The queen kept her promise. The girl was married to the crown prince. When the dinner banquet will come. The girl asked her husband to invite her cousins. Finally the crown prince allowed his wife's request.
The three women finally came to meet the wedding invitation and sat at a table with the bride and groom.
Seeing the appearance of the three weavers, the prince asked his wife.
"Why is the woman's feet wide and flat?" asked the prince.
His wife answered "all three of them are weavers. A woman with wide legs because she has too often pressed the spinning levers.
"Then why do women have long lips?" asked the prince.
"Because he too often wet the thread with his tongue, so it is easy to get into the needle," answered his wife.
"Then the third woman?" asked the prince again.
"Because she twists the thread every time and spreads it with her thumb," said the bride.
The crown prince was surprised to hear his wife's story. Finally the crown prince forbade his wife to weave. He did not want his wife to change shape like his three cousins.
Message from the story: if we promise, we must fulfill it.
