In Habentrot and Scantlie Mab the story goes about the woman who had a daughter. The girl loved play more than work, walks in grasslands and lanes more than the spinning-wheel and distaff. The mother was strongly angry at this behavior, for in those days no girl had any chance of a good husband unless she was a skillful spinster. So one day the mother gave her seven heads of lint, saying she would take no excuse - they must be returned in three days spun into yarn. Try this exciting fairy tale and learn how the girl could cope with the task!
