I just came across this post and I'm actually so impressed with your translation of French folktales for the reading pleasure of English speakers.
I can see that the pretty girl has a very wicked stepmother who wants her out of the way by all means and wanted to use her father to perpetrate such evil. I'm glad that the pretty girl was sensible but ran out of luck when the magpies ate the millets. But luck still shone on her when she was taken in by the wealthy woman. I believe that so many goodies will come her way through the same source.
It's a good thing the children had lots of fun, they can never tire of it.
You heading back to Vancouver after a six month absence? May your journey be safe.
