The Wilful Child | 任性的孩子

Once upon a time, there was a child who was willful and would not do as her mother wished. For this reason, God was displeased with her and let her become ill. No doctor could help, and soon she lay on her deathbed.

After she was lowered into her grave and the earth was spread over her, her arm suddenly came out again, stretching upwards. They put it back and spread fresh earth, but it was all to no purpose, for the arm always came out again.

Finally, the mother herself was obliged to go to the grave and strike the arm with a rod. Only after she did that was the arm drawn in, and at last, the child found rest beneath the ground.
