Date:
The mother, remembering her own passing vanity over her beauty, kept the mirror hidden, to protect her daughter from any chance of vanity. As for the father, no one had spoken of the glass, and he had forgotten all about it. This is why the child grew up simple and honest as her mother wished, knowing nothing of her own beauty or what the mirror might reflect.
But there came a day of terrible
misfortune to this family who were
so happy. The devoted and loving
mother fell sick, and although her
daughter watched her with affectionate and tender devotion, the dear woman grew worse and worse each day.
