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
