description: Perrine, a young girl, is orphaned at the age of 12, and her mother's last words are for her to find members of her father's family and make them love her for herself before revealing her identity. She experiences hunger, poverty, and manages to take care of herself through determination and creativity. Finding work in her grandfather's factory without revealing her identity, she curbs impulsiveness and virtuously works hard while gratefully receiving only enough to live on, not expecting riches.
