The summary of Peri kizi in English

A rich handsome boy meets an old woman who spills some milk outside. Upon being asked, the woman answers that it is the dirt of her daughter. The boy thinks she must be very beautiful since even her dirt is milk. Thus, he wants to marry her. The old woman does not know what to do as she has lied to the boy. In reality, she has no daughter. Therefore, the woman makes a girl out of dough, and dresses her like a bride. She covers the face and head of the dough girl. While the boy is taking the girl to his palace in his carriage, the old woman pushes the dough girl into a river. There happen to be three fairies deep inside the river. One of them sees the people searching for the girl and comes to the surface, since she is curious about the human world. The old woman tells the boy that this fairy is her daughter. The boy and the fairy get married, but the fairy girl does not talk to anyone. The boy locks the girl into a room. When he is away from home, his eldest sister peeps into the room and she sees the girl practising magic to have food and to warm herself. The sister gets incredibly jealous: she tries to do the same magic but she burns herself. The same thing happens to the second sister-in-law. Both sisters die because of their envy. The boy, one day, watches the fairy girl and learns a way to make her speak. When she speaks she tells him everything about herself- that she is a fairy- and they are united, becoming happy forever. Thus, the sisters‘ jealousy cost their lives.
