One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes

A woman had three daughters. The eldest had one eye in the middle of her forehead, the second had two eyes like ordinary people, and the youngest had three eyes—two like everyone and a third in her forehead.

Two-Eyes was mocked because she looked like other people. Her sisters made her do all the work while they ate good food. One day, Two-Eyes sat in the field and wept. A wise woman appeared and gave her a magic command: whenever she was hungry, she should say to her goat, 'Little goat, bleat, little table, appear,' and a feast would spread before her.

The sisters noticed Two-Eyes was no longer hungry and discovered her secret. They killed the magic goat. Two-Eyes wept again, and the wise woman appeared once more, telling her to bury the goat's heart. The next day, a beautiful tree with silver leaves and golden apples grew.

A knight saw the tree and promised to grant whoever brought him a golden apple anything they desired. The sisters tried but could not reach the fruit. When Two-Eyes tried, the branch lowered, and she easily plucked an apple.

The knight took her to his castle and married her. The tree came with them, and Two-Eyes lived happily. Her sisters, reduced to begging, came to her door, and she forgave them, proving that true beauty lies not in appearances but in kindness.
