“ As no one was now at home, Cinderella went to her mother's grave beneath the hazel-tree, and cried,
     "Shiver and quiver, little tree,
     Silver and gold throw down over me."
Then the bird threw a gold and silver dress down to her, and slippers embroidered with silk and silver. ” — Brothers Grimm, "Cinderella" in Grimm's Household Tales
