Ned: Brothers of Grim

Re reading some of the brothers of grim fairy tales. Found this one, isn't it lovely?

There was once a poor woman who had two children. The youngest had to go everyday into the forrest to fetch wood. Once when she had gone a long way to seek it, a little child, who was quite strong, came and helped her industriously to pick up the wood and carry it home, and then before a moment had passed, the child disappeared. The child told her mother this, but at first she would not believe it. At length she brought a rose home, and told her mother the beautiful child had given her this rose, and had told her that when it was in full bloom, he would return. The mother put the rose in water. One morning the child could not get out of bed. The mother went to the bed and found her dead, but looking very happy. One same morning, the rose was in full bloom.

lol. You thought I actually meant lovely.
