DS was doing some homework about the seasons and it reminded me about it. I can't remember if I read it or if I was told it when I was young but googling either offers me aprons to buy or the frog Prince fairy story. There was a vaguely similar ones about gold or toads falling from lips but it didn't have the four seasons in it.
It's a bit more flowery than this but this is the summary...
A young woman is out collecting berries and stumbles upon 4 sisters in a cave on a mountain. They ask her for a drink of water and she gives it to them. They talk about the seasons and ask her which one she likes best. She says she loves spring and describes why and (this is the only bit I can definitely remember word for word) one sister sat back satisfied. Then she goes though the other seasons and each sister sits back satisfied. Then they ask her to hold up her apron and fill it with coals and wish her luck. She thanks them, goes home and empties her apron only to have gold coins fall out instead of coals.
^Another woman hears of this and is jealous so asks the first woman how she got them and goes up to the mountain cave to get coins herself. However, when she finds the sisters and they discuss the seasons, she can only come up with reasons why she dislikes each. Like the first woman, she gets an apron filled with coals but when she empties it, it's filled with toads because she was unpleasant about the four seasons.
DS loved it and has been asking me to retell it so I'd like to see if it actually exists somewhere in print so if I can if I've remembered it right!
