Sampul The Star Money

There was once on a time a little girl whose father and mother were dead, and she was so poor that she no longer had any little room to live in, or bed to sleep in, and at last she had nothing else but the clothes she was wearing and a little bit of bread in her hand which some charitable soul had given her. She was, however, good and pious. And as she was thus forsaken by all the world, she went forth into the open country, trusting in the good God.

Pada suatu waktu ada seorang gadis kecil yang ayah dan ibunya telah meninggal, dan ia begitu miskin sehingga ia tidak lagi memiliki kamar kecil untuk tinggal, atau ranjang untuk tidur, dan akhirnya ia tidak memiliki apa pun selain pakaian yang ia kenakan dan sepotong kecil roti di tangannya yang diberikan oleh seorang jiwa yang berbelas kasih. Namun, ia adalah anak yang baik dan saleh. Dan karena ia begitu ditinggalkan oleh seluruh dunia, ia pun pergi ke padang terbuka, memercayakan dirinya kepada Tuhan yang baik.

Then a poor man met her, who said, “Ah, give me something to eat, I am so hungry!” She reached him the whole of her piece of bread, and said, “May God bless it to thy use,” and went onwards. Then came a child who moaned and said, “My head is so cold, give me something to cover it with.” So she took off her hood and gave it to him; and when she had walked a little farther, she met another child who had no jacket and was frozen with cold.

Kemudian seorang pria miskin menemuinya, yang berkata, "Ah, berilah aku sesuatu untuk dimakan, aku begitu lapar!" Ia pun menyerahkan seluruh potongan rotinya, dan berkata, "Semoga Tuhan memberkatinya untukmu," lalu melanjutkan perjalanannya. Kemudian datang seorang anak yang merintih dan berkata, "Kepalaku begitu dingin, berilah aku sesuatu untuk menutupinya." Maka ia pun melepas tudung kepalanya dan memberikannya kepada anak itu; dan ketika ia telah berjalan sedikit lebih jauh, ia bertemu dengan anak lain yang tidak memiliki jaket dan kedinginan.

Then she gave it her own; and a little farther on one begged for a frock, and she gave away that also. At length she got into a forest and it had already become dark, and there came yet another child, and asked for a little shirt, and the good little girl thought to herself, “It is a dark night and no one sees thee, thou canst very well give thy little shirt away,” and took it off, and gave away that also.

Maka ia pun memberikan jaketnya sendiri; dan sedikit lebih jauh lagi, seseorang meminta gaun, dan ia pun memberikannya juga. Akhirnya ia sampai di sebuah hutan dan hari sudah gelap, dan datanglah anak lain lagi, meminta sehelai kemeja kecil, dan gadis kecil yang baik itu berpikir dalam hatinya, "Malam ini gelap dan tak ada yang melihatmu, kau bisa saja memberikan kemeja kecilmu," dan ia pun melepasnya, dan memberikannya juga.

And as she so stood, and had not one single thing left, suddenly some stars from heaven fell down, and they were nothing else but hard smooth pieces of money, and although she had just given her little shirt away, she had a new one which was of the very finest linen. Then she gathered together the money into this, and was rich all the days of her life.

Dan saat ia berdiri di sana, tanpa satu pun barang yang tersisa, tiba-tiba beberapa bintang dari langit berjatuhan, dan ternyata itu tak lain adalah kepingan-kepingan uang yang keras dan halus, dan meskipun ia baru saja memberikan kemeja kecilnya, ia mendapati dirinya mengenakan kemeja baru yang terbuat dari linen paling halus. Lalu ia mengumpulkan uang-uang itu ke dalamnya, dan menjadi kaya sepanjang hidupnya.
