I was just going to buy some clothes.

Here, take them, little Snail, and give them to my good Fairy." "What about the new clothes ?" "What does that matter?
I should like to sell these rags I have on to help her more.

Go, and hurry.

Come back here within a couple of days and I hope to have more money for you! Until today I have worked for my father.

Now I shall have to work for my mother also.
