The poor little girl was tired and hungry in the forest (森林). She walked through the forest, hoping to find something to eat because she didn’t want to die. Then she found a little house and thought it must be a woodman’s (伐木人的) house and she might be able to stay there. So she knocked at the door. As there was no answer, she opened it and went inside.
There she saw a room with a long table. On it there were seven knives and forks, seven plates and drinking cups, and on the plates and in the cups were food and drink. The little girl was too hungry to turn away from the food, so she took a little from each plate and each cup.
At the other end of the room, there were seven little beds. She tried to lie on some of them, and when she found a very nice one, she fell into a deep sleep, for she was very tired after a long walk through the forest.
When she got to the little house, someone opened the door to let her in.
