次日，银鼻子照旧穿得像大人物一样，又来到寡妇家。“我家的活太多，两个姑娘还干不完，您把三女儿也让我带去，好吗？”就这样，他又把三女儿带了回来。三女儿名叫露琪亚，在三姐妹中，她最有头脑。银鼻子也带她看了每个房间，然后照旧叮嘱了她，而且当她睡了之后，也在她的头发上插了一朵花，是一朵茉莉花。早上，露琪亚起床后，就去梳头，照着镜子，她发现了头上的茉莉花。她自语道：“看哪，银鼻子给我插了一朵茉莉花。多优雅的想法！可是，我要让它保持新鲜。”她把花插在一个水杯里。梳完头，看看家里只剩她一个人，她就想：我现在去看看那扇神秘的门里有什么。
刚把门打开，烈火扑面而来，只见里边炼着很多人，而且人群中，她发现了她的大姐，然后又看见了二姐。她们大声叫着：“露琪亚！露琪亚！快拉我们出去！救救我们！”
露琪亚先是关好了门，然后思考如何才能救出两位姐姐。
魔鬼回来的时候，露琪亚早已把那朵茉莉花又插到了头上，装作没事的样子。银鼻子看了一眼茉莉花，说：“噢，还鲜着呢。”
“当然，它怎么会不新鲜呢？谁会把枯败的花戴在头上？”
“不是，我只是这么说说罢了，”银鼻子说，“我觉得你是个不错的姑娘，你要是一直这样，我们就能一直相处得很愉快。你在这里还满意吗？”
“满意，我在这里住得很好，但要不是有放心不下的事，就更好了。”
“放心不下什么？”
“我离家来这里的时候，我妈妈身体不舒服。现在我一点她的消息也没有。”
“要是就这点事，”魔鬼说，“我到你家去一趟，这样可以给你带回点那边的消息。”
“谢谢，您真是个大好人。要是您明天能去，我现在就把这里的脏东西准备成一个袋子，带给妈妈，等妈妈身体好的时候好让她帮忙洗洗。你不会觉得太重吧？”
“哪里的话，”魔鬼说，“再重的东西我也拿得动。”
等魔鬼一出去，露琪亚马上去打开了地狱之门，把大姐拉了出来，然后把她装进一只口袋。“待在里边，别说话，卡尔洛塔。等一会，魔鬼要亲自带你回家。不过，路上你要是觉得他把口袋放在地上，你就要喊：我看见你了！我看见你了！”
银鼻子来了，露琪亚对他说：“这是一袋要洗的东西。但你真的能一气不停地把它带到我妈妈家吗？”
“你不信任我吗？”魔鬼问。
“我当然相信你，因为我有这本领：我能看得很远，反正你把口袋搁在随便什么地方停下，我都看得见。”
魔鬼说：“是吗，等着看吧！”但他对姑娘具有千里眼的法力不以为然。他背起口袋，说：“这包脏东西怎么这么重啊！”
姑娘说：“那当然，你有多少年没洗过一样东西了？”
银鼻子上路了。但走到半路，他想：姑娘的话没错！不过我还是得看一下，也许她是以送该洗的脏东西为借口，想偷我的东西。于是，他把口袋放在地上，要打开看看。
“我看见你了！我看见你了！”姐姐从口袋里立即喊起来。
“啊，是真的！她真是千里眼！”银鼻子说着又背起口袋，一直走到露琪亚妈妈的家。“您的女儿让我把这袋东西带回来洗，她还想问问您身体怎么样……”
银鼻子一走，洗衣妇就打开了口袋，当她看到自己的大女儿时，高兴的样子就可想而知了。
一个星期后，露琪亚又假装忧心忡忡，她对银鼻子说还想知道妈妈的消息。
她又让他带上另一袋的脏东西去她家。于是，银鼻子又背起她二姐上路了，这一次他又没看成袋子里的东西，因为他听到有人叫着：“我看见你了！我看见你了！”
此时，洗衣妇已知道这个银鼻子就是魔鬼了，看到他又背着一袋东西来了，紧张得不得了，生怕银鼻子向她要上次洗好的东西，但银鼻子把肩上的口袋往地上一放，说：“洗好的东西，我下一次再来取，这包东西太重，压得我骨头都快断了，我要空手回去。”
等银鼻子一走远，洗衣妇万分焦急地打开了口袋，紧紧抱住了自己的二女儿。但随后就开始替露琪亚担心，她现在一个人只身留在魔鬼的手里。
露琪亚怎么办呢？过了不久，她又假装想了解母亲的情况。魔鬼此时已经厌倦了替她带脏衣服回家，不过想到她这么听话，也就不忍拒绝。临行前的晚上，露琪亚说她头疼得厉害，要先去睡了。“我把准备好的口袋给你留下，这样，明天即使我不舒服，起不了床，你也可以自己把口袋带去。”
现在，要知道露琪亚早就缝制了一个玩具布娃娃，跟她自己一样大。她把布娃娃放在床上，盖上被子，然后剪掉自己的辫子安在布娃娃的头上，看上去就像她自己睡在床上一样。随后，她又把自己藏在了口袋里。
早上，魔鬼看到姑娘躺在被窝里，就背起口袋上路了，边走边想：今天她病了，不可能再注意我。这是偷看口袋里边到底是不是脏东西的好机会。他放下口袋，刚想打开来看。“我看见你了！我看见你了！”露琪亚喊道。
“啊！她的声音真真切切的，好像就在耳旁！最好别再跟这姑娘开这种玩笑了。”他背起口袋，一直把它送给了洗衣妇。“我以后来把洗好的东西取走，”他急急忙忙地说，“现在我得赶快回去，因为露琪亚病了。”
就这样，一家人又团聚了，而且因为露琪亚还从魔鬼那里带回很多金币，足够全家人幸福、满足地生活着。她们在家门口立起了一个十字架，魔鬼再也不敢靠近了。
silver nose
there was once a widowed washerwoman with three daughters。 all four of them worked their fingers to the bone washing； but they still went hungry。 one day the oldest daughter said to her mother； 〃i intend to leave home； even if i have to go and work for the devil。〃
〃dont talk like that； daughter；〃 replied the mother。 〃goodness knows what might happen to you。〃
not many days afterward； they received a visit from a gentleman attired in black。 he was the height of courtesy and had a silver nose。
〃i am aware of the fact that you have three daughters；〃 he said to the mother。 〃would you let one e and work for me？〃
the mother would have consented at once； had it not been for that silver nose which she didnt like the looks of。 she called her oldest girl aside and said； 〃no man on earth has a silver nose。 if you go off with him you might well live to regret it； so watch out。〃
the daughter； who was dying to leave home； paid no attention to her mother and left with the man。 they walked for miles and miles； crossing woods and mountains； and finally came in sight of an intense glow in the distance like that of a fire。 〃what is that i see way down there in the valley？〃 asked the girl； growing uneasy。
〃my house。 thats just where we are going；〃 replied silver nose。
the girl followed along； but couldnt keep from trembling。 they came to a large palace； and silver nose took her through it and showed her every room； each one more beautiful than the other； and he gave her the key to each one。 when they reached the door of the last room； silver nose gave her the key and said； 〃you must never open this door for any reason whatever； or youll wish you hadnt！ youre in charge of all the rooms but this one。〃
hes hiding something from me； thought the girl； and resolved to open that door the minute silver nose left the house。 that night； while she was sleeping in her little room； in tiptoed silver nose and placed a rose in her hair。 then he left just as quietly as he had entered。
the next morning silver nose went out on business。 finding herself alone with all her keys； the girl ran and unlocked the forbidden door。 no sooner had she cracked it than smoke and flames shot out； while she caught sight of a crowd of damned souls in agony inside the fiery room。 she then realized that silver nose was the devil and that the room was hell。 she screamed； slammed the door； and took to her heels。 but a tongue of fire had scorched the rose she wore in her hair。
silver nose came home and saw the singed rose。 〃so thats how you obey me！〃 he said。 he snatched her up； opened the door to hell； and flung her into the flames。
the next day he went back to the widow。 〃your daughter is getting along very well at my house； but the work is so heavy she needs help。 could you send us your second daughter too？〃 so silver nose returned home with one of the girls sisters。 he showed her around the house； gave her all the keys； and told her she could open all the rooms except the last。 〃do you think；〃 said the girl； 〃i would have an
