English Fairy Tales
"Wash me and comb me,
And lay me down softly.
And lay me on a bank to dry,
That I may look pretty,
When somebody passes by."
"Yes," said she, and taking it in her lap combed it with a silver comb, and then placed it upon a primrose bank. Then up came a second and a third head,
saying the same as the former. So she did the same for them, and then, pulling out her provisions, sat down to eat her dinner.
Then said the heads one to another: "What shall we weird for this damsel who has used us so kindly?"
The first said: "I weird her to be so beautiful that she shall charm the most powerful prince in the world"
