00:00Once upon a time, a father and his two young daughters were living together in a land far, far away.

00:09One of the girls was very diligent, and the other was very lazy.

00:15You barely help at all, and I'm exhausted.

00:19Oh, no! I can't help it.

00:24You barely help at all, and I'm exhausted.

00:28Oh, no! You are already doing the cleaning. Why should I get my hands dirty now?

00:39Their old father was a hard worker, and he was always tired.

00:44The only meal they had was soup and some dry bread in the evenings.

00:50One day, the old father made a request of his daughters.

00:54My dear daughters, you know, I love you both so very much.

01:00I've been thinking. You are both adults now, and it is time for you to take more responsibility.

01:08I want both of you to find a job and work.

01:12You are right, Daddy. I will find myself a job.

01:17And what about you, my daughter?

01:20My sister should get a job, because, you know, that's so her thing.

01:25But I think I'd better do the housework, Daddy.

01:28The old man was happy to see his daughters so eager.

01:35The next day, while the diligent girl left home to find a job, her father came to her.

01:42My dear daughter, I have some advice for you.

01:45Never refuse someone who asks you for help.

01:49Always be diligent, love your job, do the job that was given to you to the best of your abilities.

01:57Thank you, Daddy. I will never forget your advice.

02:01That's my girl. Bye-bye.

02:04The diligent daughter set off to find her job,

02:07while the lazy daughter, who said that she would do the household chores, did nothing.

02:12The house was getting more and more messy, and getting dirty every day.

02:21The diligent girl walked for days, but had not found anyone to work for.

02:28After a while, the diligent girl saw a tree with dried branches and roots.

02:36Hello, young girl. Can you clean my dry branches and give me some water to my roots?

02:43The diligent girl then cleaned all the dry branches of the tree,

02:49until her palms were bruised,

02:52and watered the roots with her own drinking water.

02:57Ah, thank you, young girl. But now you have no water left.

03:02It's okay. You needed help, and I helped you.

03:06I can walk a little more and find water for myself.

03:09The diligent girl continued on her way.

03:13Farther on, she came across a hearth with broken and cracked parts.

03:19Hey, young girl. Can you repair me and make me look better?

03:23The diligent girl took a handful of mud near her,

03:27and patched all the cracks on the hearth.

03:30Thank you, young girl. But you got so dirty because of me.

03:36Oh, it's okay. Clothes don't matter. You needed help, and I helped.

03:43The diligent girl left the brand new hearth behind, and continued on her way.

03:51After a while, a lovely lamb appeared.

03:54A lovely lamb appeared.

03:56But the lamb was black, like coal, from head to toe.

04:03Hello, young girl. I accidentally got into the coals and got dirty.

04:08Would you bathe me in that lake over there?

04:12The diligent girl washed the lamb by the lake.

04:17The lamb was white and soft as before.

04:22Thank you, but you're drenched because of me.

04:26You needed help, and I helped.

04:29I was already very dirty. Now I'm cleaner.

04:35The diligent girl continued on her way.

04:40When it got dark, she came across a beautiful house,

04:45Oh!

04:47where seven fairies lived.

04:50The diligent girl entered.

04:55Hello. I apologize for coming to your home without permission.

04:59I am a young girl looking for a job to work.

05:03You can work here if you want, young girl. There are seven rooms in our house.

05:08You will only clean six rooms every day.

05:11But you must not go into the seventh room.

05:16The diligent girl accepted the job.

05:19She cleaned six rooms diligently every day.

05:23As fairies said, for a full year.

05:26She never entered the seventh room.

05:29And when she had enough money,

05:31she asked permission from the fairies to return home.

05:35Of course, young girl. You can go home.

05:39I'm wondering why you never entered the seventh room.

05:43My father used to say to do the job right, no matter what.

05:48During my time here, my job was to clean only six rooms.

05:52And that's what I did. That's what you told me to do.

05:55We would like to reward you for your honesty and diligence.

06:01Come on. Come with us.

06:03The fairies asked the young girl to enter the seventh room.

06:08When the girl entered, she saw a lot of silver and gold coins.

06:15Now, you roll around in these coins,

06:18and any that stick to you will be yours.

06:23Diligent girl tumbled left and right in coins.

06:32She looked almost like a star with the money sticking on her.

06:38Then, the diligent girl left the fairies to return home.

06:44On the way, she came across the lamb she had washed before.

06:48The lamb was covered with pearls.

06:52I did not forget your help, young girl.

06:55Take and get as many pearls as you want.

06:58The diligent girl thanked the lamb,

07:01and covered her arms and neck with pearls,

07:05and continued on her way.

07:08This time, she came across the hearth she had previously repaired.

07:13I did not forget the help you gave me, young girl.

07:17Take it. My warm breads, my lovely cakes are yours.

07:21The diligent girl ate some of the bread given by the hearth,

07:25and took some of it to take home,

07:28and continued on her way.

07:32A little further ahead, she saw the tree.

07:35Its branches were covered with fruit.

07:40Come, young girl. I did not forget the help you gave me.

07:44Take it. All my grape juice is yours.

07:48The diligent girl thanked the tree,

07:51and finally returned home.

07:54Thank you very much. What a fruitful experience!

08:02Her father and lazy sister greeted her at the door.

08:06The girl's bundle was full of gold and pearls.

08:10The lazy sister was very jealous

08:13when she saw that her sister was so rich.

08:17Look at all those coins.

08:20I must go find a wealthy family to get a job from.

08:24If my sister has pearls, I will get emeralds.

08:30The lazy girl told her father that she is leaving home

08:34to look for a job.

08:36Oh, okay, my daughter.

08:38But you couldn't even work at home.

08:41How will you find a job out there?

08:45The lazy girl left before her dad could even finish talking.

08:50She walked day and night.

08:53A little further down the road,

08:55she came across a tree with dry branches.

08:58The tree asked the girl for help.

09:02Hello, young girl. Would you clean my...

09:05I can't deal with you under the sun.

09:08My hair will get messy. Bye!

09:13The lazy girl moved on.

09:16She saw a cracked and broken hearth a little further.

09:20Hearth asked her for help.

09:23I can't get my thin and delicate hands dirty for you.

09:27My nail polish goes bad. Bye!

09:32The lazy girl did not help the hearth either.

09:36Then she came across a lamb that was dirty like black coal.

09:41And the lamb asked her to give her a bath.

09:45Eww, disgusting!

09:48Get out of my way, you dirty thing.

09:51Get out of my way, you dirty thing.

09:53The lazy girl ran away.

09:56What a lazy little lamb. Can't even wash itself.

10:01And came upon a huge house.

10:05The lazy girl took advantage of this

10:08and asked for work from the seven fairies

10:11who were the owners of the house.

10:13The head fairy asked her to stay for a year

10:16and clean only six rooms.

10:20Don't forget, young girl.

10:22You will never ever be able to enter the seventh room.

10:28The lazy girl reluctantly cleaned all six rooms for months.

10:35However, one day she gave in to her curiosity

10:39and entered the seventh room.

10:43Instead of gold and silver coins,

10:46there were bees and bats inside.

10:50The bees stung the lazy girl in such a way

10:55that she was scarred all over.

10:58She was very hurt.

11:01The girl immediately left there

11:03and started running towards the house.

11:07As she ran, she saw the lamb

11:10which she turned down her request for help.

11:13The lamb was covered with pearls.

11:17The girl wanted to catch the lamb to get some pearls,

11:21but the lamb ran away from her.

11:26The girl continued walking and was very tired.

11:31At that moment, she came across the hearth

11:34that she turned down that requested her help.

11:38There were loaves of fresh warm bread on the hearth.

11:43When the girl wanted to buy a slice of bread,

11:46the hearth got hot and lazy girl's hands got burned.

11:52When the lazy girl ran away from there,

11:55she came across the tree which she had refused to help.

12:00There were bunches of fruit on the branches of the tree.

12:07When the lazy girl tried to pick some fruit,

12:10the tree leaned to the right.

12:13The girl ran to the right,

12:15but the tree leaned to the left this time.

12:23Tired of running around,

12:25the lazy girl finally gave up on getting the fruit.

12:31She walked non-stop for two full days

12:37and finally got home.

12:39Her father and sister saw her returning home

12:42in dirty clothes and injured,

12:44and they were very surprised.

12:46The lazy girl told what happened to her with great regret.

12:51Oh, and I can't believe it. I hurt so much.

12:58My dear sister, now you understand

13:01how important it is to be hardworking.

13:04Remember girl,

13:06when you are honest and hardworking in this life,

13:09you will be rewarded for sure.

13:12After that day,

13:14the lazy girl has not been idle and lazy since.

13:21The two sisters both worked hard and were rewarded well.

13:29And this small family had happy,

13:32productive and peaceful days throughout their lives.

13:39The End
