The juniper-tree

 Long,long ago, there lived a rich man and his beautiful wife. They desire to have children, but sorrowed much that they have no one. In front of the house there was a juniper-tree. When the tree's berries were fully ripe, she picked them and ate, and she grew sad and ill. She called her husband and asked him to bury her under the juniper-tree when she died. She had a little boy at last, but she died. Her husband buried her under the juniper-tree. By degrees his sorrow grew less, he married again and they have a daughter. The mother loved her daughter but she behaved unkindly to boy. At last, she had killed him, and she told her husband a lie. The little daughter sweep and she laid brother's bones in the green grass under the juniper-tree. After a while, beautiful bird which sang magnificently appeared. The lyrics were surprising. How do you think what happen to the mother lastly?
