Hello! Thank you for the compliments! So, I actually just found out that the story is called "The Fairies" or "Diamonds and Toads" instead of "The Fairy". (My bad, I'll fix that on the page) The story is by Charles Perrault. Here's a summary: A widow had two daughters, one kind and fair, the other selfish and rude. The widow and the selfish daughter hated the kind daughter, and made her do menial chores like drawing water from the well. One day, a fairy disguised as an old lady asks the kind daughter if she could have a drink of water. The kind daughter gives her water, and the fairy grants her the power to spill diamonds from her mouth whenever she talked. The widow and selfish daughter find out about this, and want the jewels themselves. The selfish daughter decides to go to the well and meet the fairy. When the fairy/old lady arrives and asks for water, the daughter declines rudely. Because of this, the fairy curses the selfish daughter to have the power to spill vipers and toads from her mouth whenever she talked. The widow furiously kicks the kind daughter out, and the daughter later meets and marries a prince. (Sorry for it being so long!)
