| Music played by The Company of Storytellers, followed by story told by Sally Pomme Clayton. Mother's daughter hates Father's daughter. Mother tells Father to take his daughter into the woods and abandon her. This he does. On their journey, the girl clears a stream, cuts back a tree and nurses a dog. She then meets with the devil and tricks him into showering her with gifts. She is then able to escape with the help of the stream, the tree and the dog she had helped. Father's daughter returns home. Mother's daughter is jealous, so she in turn goes out to the devil's house, but her selfishness and greed results in her death as she dances with the devil. | |

| The Company of Storytellers (C.O.S.T) was formed in March/April 1985 with the expressed aim of performing storytelling for adult audiences. C.O.S.T was actually formed during a tour in East Anglia by Sally Pomme Clayton, Hugh Lupton and Ben Haggarty. The official launch of COST was in 1986 at Common Stock Theatre, London. At this point the members of C.O.S.T were Sally Pomme Clayton, TUUP, Ben Haggarty, Daisy Keable, Hugh Lupton. However TUUP and Daisy Keable did not remain in the group and it is as a trio of storytellers, Ben Haggarty, Hugh Lupton and Sally Pomme Clayton, that C.O.S.T is publicly known. C.O.S.T was disbanded in 1999, but periodically reforms to perform the Three Snake Leaves. The two seminal pieces developed and performed by C.O.S.T were The Three Snake Leaves and I Become Part of It. | |
