“Little goat, when you’re able,
  Remove my nice table.”

In a moment, the table and everything upon it had disappeared.  “That is a pleasant way to keep house,” said little Two Eyes, and felt quite contented and happy.  In the evening, when she went home with the goat, she found an earthenware dish with some scraps which her sisters had left for her, but she did not touch them.  The next morning she went away with the goat, leaving them behind where they had been placed for her.  The first and second times that she did so, the sisters did not notice it; but when they found it happened every day, they said one to the other, “There is something strange about little Two Eyes, she leaves her supper every day, and all that has been put for her has been wasted; she must get food somewhere else.”

So they determined to find out the truth, and they arranged that when Two Eyes took her goat to the field, One Eye should go with her to take particular notice of what she did, and discover if anything was brought for her to eat and drink.

So when Two Eyes started with her goat, One Eye said to her, “I am going with you to-day to see if the goat gets her food properly while you are watching the rest.”

But Two Eyes knew what she had in her mind.  So she drove the goat into the long grass, and said, “Come, One Eye, let us sit down here and rest, and I will sing to you.”

One Eye seated herself, and, not being accustomed to walk so far, or to be out in the heat of the sun, she began to feel tired, and as little Two Eyes kept on singing, she closed her one eye and fell fast asleep.

When Two Eyes saw this, she knew that One Eye could not betray her, so she said: 

  “Little goat, if you are able,
  Come and deck my pretty table.”

She seated herself when it appeared, and ate and drank very quickly, and when she had finished she said: 

  “Little goat, when you are able,
  Come and clear away my table.”

It vanished in the twinkling of an eye; and then Two Eyes woke up One Eye, and said, “Little One Eye, you are a clever one to watch goats; for, while you are asleep, they might be running all over the world.  Come, let us go home!”

So they went to the house, and little Two Eyes again left the scraps on the dish untouched, and One Eye could not tell her mother whether little Two Eyes had eaten anything in the field; for she said to excuse herself, “I was asleep.”

The next day the mother said to Three Eyes, “You must go to the field this time, and find out whether there is anyone who brings food to little Two Eyes; for she must eat and drink secretly.”

So when little Two Eyes started with her goat, Three Eyes followed, and said, “I am going with you to-day, to see if the goats are properly fed and watched.”

But Two Eyes knew her thoughts; so she led the goat through the long grass to tire Three Eyes, and at last she said, “Let us sit down here and rest, and I will sing to you, Three Eyes.”
