    There was a woman once and she had three daughters. One evening the oldest one said that she was going next day to earn her fortune. The mother made a big cake and a small one.
    So neat day she got up and the mother asked her which of the cakes would she have.
    The big cake was for her curse and the small one for her blessing. The girl was foolish and she said she would have the big cake because she wouldn't be hungry for a long time
