Does anyone know of any modern adaptations of Diamonds and Toads? (It is also called The Fairy in some versions of the original tale.) It's the one with the sisters who are sent to the well, and the first one helps the fairy and is blessed to have jewels and flowers fall from her lips as she speaks, and the second sister is sent to the well in hopes that the same thing will happen, but she disrespects the fairy and is cursed to have toads and adders fall from her lips when she speaks.
I know Gail Carson Levine's The Fairy's Mistake, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any others.
