The stepmother and daughter are very jealous of the poor girl because she is beautiful and the daughter is ugly so the stepmother feeds her nothing, gives her chores to do and abuses her as much as possible. The chores are hard but she doesnt complain about them. Helen, the step sister told the poor girl, Marouckla === ===that she has to find violets in the middle of the winter or else she will kill Marouckla. Then Marouckla went to find the violets and she saw twelve people, twelve stones and a fire. Next she asked them if they knew where violets are. The month of === ===March raised fire to the sky to melt the snow and bring out the violets. Marouckla ran home to give the violets and then Helen told her to go out and get stawberries or else she will kill her. She then goes back to the twelve months and asks where === ===to find strawberries. Then the month of June raised fire to the sky and melted the snow off the bushes so she can get strawberries. Marouckla grabbed the berries and went back to give them to the stepsister. The stepsister was impressed but then Marouckla had to go find apples. Marouckla ran to the Twelve Months and said I need apples. The month of January asked you need apples in the middle of winter? Marouckla said yes or else my stepsister will kill me. Next the month of January made the month of November raise fire to the sky to melt the snow of the trees. She shook the tree and only one apple came down. Marouckla ran to the step sister and said I only have one apple. The step sister was angry so she went in the woods to find them herself. Hours had passed, so the step mother went to look for her and never returned. The step mother and step sister froze to death and Marouckla lived happily ever after. ===
