Prinzesschen Eva
Excerpt from Princess Eve
Where has my gay bird been so long, to day? He said, smilingly, threatening with his finger. Are you not at all hungry?
Oh, papa, just see how I look! Cried the little girl, laughing and swinging her torn skirt. Just like a poor little beggar girl.
But, child, how could you tear your pretty dress in that way? Said the father, looking reproachfully at his frivolous child.
Oh, papa, it was not I, that apple tree there did it, it has such sharp limbs l cried the child, eagerly. But now I can give the dress to poor Pauline, she needs one badly; can't I, papa?
You need it yourself, my dear Eve, we cannot yet give it away; you must have it mended, replied the pale man, gently.
