It-Tliet Xebbiet

Mela darba, bidwi xi miet u alla l-galqa tiegu bsira tat-tin lil uliedu. Meta t-tin sar, il-kbira mliet qoffa u meta kienet fi triqtha lejn il-belt biex tbiegha, iltaqget ma tliet uvintur li staqsewha xkellha fil-qoffa. Hi webithom bl

herra li kellha qoffa qrun. U bgaeb tagha, it-tin inbidel fi qrun. Ta warajha ralha l-istess u t-tin inbidel fibel bal ma kienet qalet li kellha. I-gira ida, webithom li kellha t-tin u offritilhom. Bringrazzjament, il-uvintur tawha sarvetta, bastun u vjolin imsarin. Meta waslet id-dar, is sarvetta firxet il-mejda bl-ikel u l-vjolin qajjem lil kuladd jifen. Saansitra lill-kelb u lill-qattus. utha l-kbar, ida geru u malajr sabu jif jabulha s-sarvetta u l-vjolin. Galxejn talbithom biex irodduhom lura. Gajruha minuna u traskurata u li kienet poiethom ximkien u nsiet. Meta rat hekk, it-tifla aret il-bastun li minnufih infexx isawwat lil utha. Kollox sew! Kollox sew! bdew iwerqu. U gira ordnat lill-bastun biex jieqaf. Minn dakinhar, iddeidew li jsiru aktar entili u bhekk setgu jgixu t-tlieta flimkien bal awa u ma kien jonqoshom xejn.

The Three Sisters

Once upon a time, three girls inherited their fathers field, together with its fig tree. When the figs were ripe, the oldest picked some and was on her way to sell them, when she met three young men who asked her what she was carrying. When she replied that she had a basket full of horns, the figs magically turned into horns. The same thing happened to her sister, who when replied that she was carrying a basket of garbage, her figs changed into garbage indeed! The youngest sister told the young men the truth, and even offered them some of the figs. In compensation, they gave her a napkin, a cane and a violin. They were all enchanted. When she returned home, the napkin magically filled their table with food and the violin made everyone dance to its tune. Even the dog and the cat danced. The sisters were jealous. They hid their sisters gifts and wouldnt give them back even when she pleaded. To this, the young girl ordered the cane to do its job and it started beating the girls until they confessed and retuned the stolen gifts to their sister. From that day onwards, the older sisters changed their evil ways and they lived happily together as a family.
