Zumrad and Qimmat

Once upon a time there was a girl named Zumrad. She was hardworking and clever. She had a father, a step-mother and a step-sister. They all lived together. Zumrad’s stepmother and sister did not like Zumrad. Zumrad’s stepsister’s name was Qimmat. Qimmat was very lazy and indolent. Qimmat and her mother were very hostile to Zumrad. Waking up in the morning Zumrad would sweep the yard, cook, do the laundry arrange the house. One day Qimmat told her mother: “I do not like Zumrad, she is very hardworking. Everybody praises her”.

Then stepmother told Zumrad’s father:

“Take your daughter to the forest and leave her there”.

The father was scared and said: “Yes”.

So then they started and were walking and walking. Then Zumrad father told her : “Wait for me here, I will be back soon”. Then Zumrad waited. It got late, but her father did not come back. Zumrad was afraid and started looking for her dad. After walking for a while she came across a small house. She knocked on the door. An old woman came out. The old woman said:

“My daughter! come in”. She said she would make some tea.

“No, I will do it”, said Zumrad.

Then Zumrad made tea and cooked a meal. After that she started living in the old woman’s house. Every morning she would wake up, sweep the yard, arrange the house, cook and do the laundry.

One day the old woman said: “My daughter, go to the roof and bring some wood”. Then Zumrad got up to the roof and saw her father’s house and started crying. The old woman asked her what

happened. “I miss my father”, said Zumrad. Then she said: “Well, come down. You will go home”.

Then Zumrad came down and the woman told her: “Go to the cellar and open the red door and bring the trunk, the red trunk from there”. Zumrad brought the red trunk up and the woman told her: “Here is the key and it is my gift for you”.

Then woman told: “You should open it when you go home. Do not open it on your way”.

“All right”, said Zumrad. After that Zumrad went home. They opened the trunk and they saw that it had gold and diamonds, silver. Seeing this Qimmat got very jealous and said: “I want this kind of trunk too”.

Then Qimmat’s mother told the father: “Take my daughter to the same place where you took Zumrad”.

Then the old man and Qimmat started their way. The old man and Qimmat went to the forest. The old man left Qimmat where he had left Zumrad before and said: “My daughter, wait for me here. I will be back soon.” and left. Qimmat was getting scared and sitting. At this moment the old woman came and said: “What are you doing here, my daughter?”

“It is not your business”, said Qimmat.

Then the woman told Qimmat: “I wanted to invite you to my house”.

“ With pleasure”,she said and they went to the old woman’s house.

Then Qimmat told the woman: “Make tea. I am hungry. Cook something”.

Then she drank tea and ate and she said “Now I am tired and I will sleep”.

Then she went to sleep. From then and on she started living the woman. She would never do anything, did not do the housework, she would only eat and sleep.

One day she said: “I am bored and I will go home”. The woman said: “If you want to go, you can go, my child”.

Qimmat told: “Where is the gift? When guests leave, you are supposed to give them gifts”.

The woman said: “Go to the cellar, open the white door and bring the white trunk up.”

Qimmat went into the cellar, opened the white door and brought the white trunk up. “Here is the key and open it only when you get home”, she said, “Do not open it on the way”.

“I know myself”, said Qimmat.

Then Qimmat went home. Qimmat and her mother closed all the doors and windows, “Nobody should see our wealth” and opened the trunk. When they opened the trunk, there was a big dragon inside; the dragon ate Qimmat and her mother. The moral is that the evil is always punished.
