The girl politely consents and after giving it, she finds that the woman is a fairy, who had disguised as a crone to test the character of mortals.

As the girl is so kind and compassionate toward her, the fairy blesses her with a jewel or flower falling from her mouth whenever she speaks.

Upon arriving home and explaining why she had taken so long to her mother, the widow is delighted at the sight of gems and flowers falling out the girl's mouth, and desires that her favored eldest daughter must have the same gift as well.

The fairy decrees that, as punishment for her despicable attitude, either a toad or a snake would fall from the rude girl's mouth whenever she speaks.

The idea of having jewels fall from a virtuous person is a motif found in various other tales, as in the Italian Biancabella and the Snake.
