The way you give..... part 2

"Little girl, little girl, I AM JACK FROST, the Ruby-Nosed," he said. "I BRING the WINTER WHEREVER I GO."
"Oh," she said sadly. "WELCOME, Jack Frost! GOD must have SENT YOU TO TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THIS WORLD. It will be HARD TO LEAVE, for IT ALL LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL today:
the SNOW IS so WHITE and the AIR IS so CLEAN and the ICE SPARKLES LIKE DIAMONDS."

Now HE WAS ABOUT TO TOUCH HER BODY and FREEZE HER to DEATH, but HE WAS MOVED BY HER WISE WORDS and SAD EYES.
Instead he reached into one of the immense pockets of his grey coat, pulled out a fur coat, and tossed it
to the girl. She quickly put it on, sitting on the snow. Jack Frost went leaping and jumping back to the
EDGE of the FOREST. In a twinkling, HE WAS BACK, carrying something in his arms.
"Little girl, little girl, I am Jack Frost, the Ruby-Nosed," he cried. "I have brought something for you."
"IS IT MY DEATH?" the girl asked fearfully.
Jack Frost had NOT returned TO TAKE HER LIFE AWAY. He brought her a CHEST, HEAVY and
DEEP, and FILLED with BEDDING and PETTICOATS and all sort of warm clothes.
Then the girl sat on the chest in her fur coat, laughing and clapping while Jack Frost danced for her.
A THIRD time HE bounded away TO the FOREST' s EDGE; this time. when he came back, he gave
her a CLOAK embroidered with SILVER THREADS and studded with PEARLS and DIAMONDS.
The girl drew this cloak over her fur coat. She looked as beautiful and elegant as a grand duchess.

Meanwhile, her STEP MOTHER said to her servant, "Go, old man, and bring home my stepdaughter so that WE MAY BURY HER." Then she set about FIXING the EVENING MEAL for herself and her own daughter.
A short time later, THE GATE CREAKED, the doors flew open, and OLD SERVANT dragged IN a
CHEST, HEAVY and DEEP.  Her STEPDAUGHTER followed, RADIANT and REGAL as a princess. When the STEPMOTHER SAW all the RICHES the girl had RETURNED WITH, she immediately SET an EXTRA PLACE at the TABLE for the girl, PRETENDING to ask her FORGIVENESS. Even her own daughter complained about it, but the MOTHER' s INTEREST was to get the whole story about the RICHES, out of the girl's mouth.

As soon as the girl was asleep, the WIDOW CALLED her SERVANT. "Old man," she ORDERED,
"harness the HORSES and have them READY to go AT the FIRST LIGHT of DAWN. Take MY
OWN DAUGHTER TO the SAME FIELD, in the VERY SAME PLACE, and LEAVE HER there.
Then RETURN FOR HER in the EVENING, TO GATHER UP the TREASURES she will receive."
In the MORNING, the widow STRUGGLED to AWAKEN her own daughter. "LET ME SLEEP,"
complained her own girl. "IT IS TOO COLD to do anything else."
"YOU MUST GO and GET the TREASURES from JACK FROST, you LAZY creature," her mother scolded.
"CAN'T WE just TAKE YOUR STEPDAUGHTER'S GIFT FOR OURSELVES" asked her daughter crossly.
"WE WILL, we will," said her mother impatiently, "but WHY SETTLE for ONE TREASURE when
WE COULD HAVE TWO? Now, GET UP!"
