    looked up, and they saw the girl, and asked her what she wanted. She told them her trouble. They said if she invited them to the wedding and if she called them her aunts, and let them sit at her table, they would spin the flax in a very short time.
    The girl told them to come in, and begin at once. The girl hid the three women whenever the Queen came.At last they finished the three rooms, and then went away.
    When the girl showed the Queen the empty rooms, the wedding was arranged. The girl invited the women, and she called them her aunts, after that the girl lived very happy with her husband.
