Charlotte, a young woman who is overwhelmed by all her tasks, summons the fairy Water Green who then appears before her. Mother Water Green is described as “ugly, old, and wrinkled” and “clad entirely in a frog skin, the head of which served as a hood” and she was “supporting herself on her staff of holly.” Ten dwarfs emerge from her cloak and diligently finish all of Charlotte’s chores. Water Green then decides to give the ten dwarfs to Charlotte as a gift: “[A]s you cannot carry them about with you without being accused of witchcraft, I will order each of them to make himself very little and to hide in your ten fingers ….” With the ten dwarfs hidden in her fingers, Charlotte was thereafter able to complete her chores and attain goals in life.
