    The stepmother sends the hard-working girl to serve somebody. After a year she returns home with gold, silver and other treasures. As the bad-hearted woman sees this she sends also her own daughter to serve somebody, but she is lazy therefore she returns home in thorn and bloodstained clothes.

    Directed by: Marcell Jankovics, László Lőrincz
    Storyteller: Gyula Szabó
    Music: Kaláka band

    Dog-pearl meaning: in the old times people wear pearls as protective jewelry against harmful spells and to eliminate poison. Dogs brings protection too by checking the house, the sheep herd and predicts danger. Both symbolize protection. In this tale the magical dog give protective pearls to the diligent girl as a reward.

      Books have been published on the subject, and numerous presentations on the UA-cam channel deal with them. Gábor Pap and Lajos Szántai are the most important speakers. Hungarian ethnography is the richest in the world! Folk music, folk art, folk dance, folk tale...
      The zodiac theme is not unknown in Hungarian painting and literature either. Many poems and dramatic works were edited with this system.

It is interesting that this tale is actually a Hungarian origin. I wonder how my grandma told a very similar one. In her story, there is again a step mother and two girls, one is diligent and other one is lazy. Diligent girl was sent to do work outside and she was very diligent and returned to home with gold etc.

Frau Holle gave her the spool back and sent her home. and then there was the thing with the rooster, and then the girl told her story and the lazy girl was sent to do the same. but the lazy girl didn't help anyone, and didn't shake the pillows right, and when she headed home, not gold but "Pech" (couldn't find the word in english but it's some black goo) and no matter how hard the lazy girl tried, she couldn't get rid of it.

If a parent is vile, self centered, and vain, so too will be the child. Male/ Female doesn't matter in this regard, either toward parent or child. If the tree is rotten, so too will be the fruit.

There's also ones with multiple siblings where only one out of the three is good yet they've all been taught the same. It doesn't matter how your taught if you don't take those lessons to heart; be them good or bad lessons.

    • @saroltaeleonoramolnar399
      @saroltaeleonoramolnar399 5 років тому +69

      @mary sunshine It is hard to understand the motivations of those people because our lives are completely different. But first of all : women had limited opportunities. Being a widow and raising children was almost an impossible task to do. If they were peasants then the land and everything was owned by the landlord. If she couldn't pay the taxes they could easily get into trouble. So the easiest way was to remarry and to rely on the new husband.
      If they owned their own land, the law is way complicated. There was a time when women could not own any land so after the husband 's death everything went to the closest male heir. I don't know for a sure that is was the same in every country but in Hungary, if there was no male heir, the king got the land. So the widow was again, alone. Without anything. There was also a little chance for her to keep the land: if she was (this is strange) according to the law, a boy. There was a procedure for it, to consider a female as a male, and give her male rights. After that, she could inherit the land. And again, I only know about the Hungarian system.
      For a widowed husband, the causes of remarriage can be that someone had to look after the children, or he wanted to be sure that he has more children. Death was an everyday thing, no one was sure about how long they will live, especially when they were young.
      So people stayed together, just because the way of the law made them. They had no other choice. The main reason is: they wanted to be sure that someone will follow them, and their children will inherit the family properties.

I remember loving this story so much since i only heard it from hear and she was telling this story so beautifully and with such expressions. The story had different details but its close enough ( I'm from Poland maybe there was a bit different version bc of that). This story will always remind me of my great grandmother, even tho im happy i found this story randomly now I'm also crying because I loved her so very much and she died this year. I will never forget her and all the amazing things she said to me. Babciu, wiem że mam 21 lat ale bardzo bym chciala uslyszec te bajke od ciebie jeszcze jeden raz...

      To be quite fair there are some really great morals in stories such in kid animated shows they take on mature topics not inappropriately, they have many morals that give balance to character. There are real gems of shows and to be in this current time where many stories and art are constantly experimenting and adding changing show many sides to a story. Now considering I am watching many of these these have great morals...well mainly this one. But I can see where you are coming from with what is on TV.

Free experience can easily get hard work accomplished.

    The diligent girl was allowed to go home after being covered head to toe in gold dust, and the lazy girl only slept around the house for a year, so she was covered in oil and feathers.

    Stories like these from my childhood has made me the hardworking, independent and diligent woman I am today. I live alone, I’ve got no partner, I do everything on my own to sustain myself. I don’t got anything perfect in me due to that but I can’t seem to care too much about it right now. People I meet, surprisingly all of them, use me for my kindness and my acts of service and hospitality. I keep giving and giving and working and working day in and day out and every couple of weeks for a day or two I just give up and do nothing and take rest and eventually go on to repeat the same for idk how long in my life. I don’t make a lot of money and life isn’t comfortable. I barely make it every month. I’m not sad or depressed. I’m not emotionally empty. I’m hopeful for something more. Hopeful that someday I won’t have to work so hard and only care about my pretty nails and back pain and my beauty. But I’m fine this way too for the rest of my life . Just wanted to put this out there. Hope no one notices this comment

    My karelian grandmother told me a similar story as well. The diligant girl is told to go fetch water from a frozen lake, but she falls into the hole in the ice. In the bottom of the lake there is another world, and she gets to an old house. There lives an old woman who is looking for a maid. The girl needs to warm up the sauna, bathe lizards, and milk and brush the old woman's cows. The lizards and cows tell the woman that the maid was very good and gentle indeed, and so the woman gives her a chest full of gold. She tells her to go home but not to show her lazy sister whats in the chest. The lazy sister becomes too curious and demands to know whats in the chest, and the diligant sister tells her experience. The lazy sister goes out to seek the old woman, and is told to do the same tasks as previously. However she is frightened of the lizards and doesnt bathe them properly, and she doesnt do a good job with the cows either. The animals tell the old woman how horrible the lazy sister was, so old woman gives her a chest full of tar and fire.
