It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. "Quick, Two-eyes," cried the two sisters, "creep under this, and don't disgrace us!" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-eyes, and they pushed the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, "To whom does this fine tree belong? Any one who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired." Then One-eye and Three-eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch. They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, "It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should still not be able to break a piece off." They again asserted that the tree was their property. Whilst they were saying so, Two-eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-eye and Three-eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-eye and Three-eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, "Two-eyes, come forth." Then Two-eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, "Thou, Two-eyes, canst certainly break off a branch from the tree for me." - "Yes," replied Two-eyes, "that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me." And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, "Two-eyes, what shall I give thee for it?" - "Alas!" answered Two-eyes, "I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night; if you would take me with you, and deliver me from these things, I should be happy." So the knight lifted Two-eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing. When Two-eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us," thought they, "and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us?" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-eyes looked out of the window of her own little room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.
Two-eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-eye, and Three-eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth.
从前有一个妇人，她有三个女儿。大女儿叫一只眼，因为她只有一只独眼，长在额头中央;二女儿叫两只眼，因为她和普通人一样只有两只眼睛;最小的女儿叫三只眼，因为她有三只眼睛，除了和普通人一样的两只眼睛外，那第三只眼睛也同样长在额头中央。可是，正因为两只眼和普通人长得没什么两样，她的母亲和姐妹们都很讨厌她。她们对她说："你长着两只眼睛，比那些普通人好不到哪儿去，你不是我们家的!"就这样，她们把她呼来唤去，只扔些破旧的衣服给她穿，让她吃她们剩下的残羹剩菜，并想方设法地折磨她。
一天，姐妹们只让两只眼吃了很少的一点东西，就叫她饿着肚子去户外放羊。于是，她坐在田埂上伤心地哭了起来，直哭得眼泪像两条小溪似的不断地从眼睛里往下流。当她悲伤地抬起头来的时候，发现身旁站着一个妇人，她其实是一个女巫。只听那妇人对她说："两只眼，你为什么要哭呢?"
两只眼回答说："叫我怎能不哭呢?就因为我和普通人一样有两只眼睛，我的母亲和姐妹们都不喜欢我。她们把我从一个角落推到另一个角落，只扔些破旧的衣服给我穿，只让我吃她们剩下的残羹剩菜。今天她们又只给我吃了一点点东西，我现在真是饿极了。"
这时，那个女巫说道："可爱的两只眼，擦干你的眼泪，让我来教你一个办法，你以后就不会再挨饿了。你只要对你的羊儿说：
"小羊儿，咩咩叫，咩咩叫，
小桌子，我想吃饭了。"
这样你的面前就会出现一张铺着干净台布的桌子，上面摆满美味佳肴，你可以尽情地吃个饱。吃完之后，你不再需要桌子了，只须说：
'亲爱的小羊儿，咩咩叫，
小桌子，请你消失掉。'
这样，它就会在你眼前消失。"说完，女巫就走了。
两只眼心想："我一定要立刻试一试，看她说的是不是真的，更何况我实在是太饿了。"于是，她便说：
'小羊儿，咩咩叫，咩咩叫，
小桌子，我想吃饭了。'
话刚一出口，一张铺着白色台布的小桌子便出现在她眼前了。桌子上摆着一套盘子、刀叉和银汤匙，满桌的可口美味正热腾腾地冒着热气，就好像是刚从厨房里端出来的一样。
