"Don't spit the pits into the hearth." The old story from Takayama Part-2
One day, her parents went down the mountain to town on urgent business. Snow was falling, mingled with rain. The night fell as she waited her parents to come back putting a pot over the open hearth. “I hope they will come back soon.” The girl gave a small yawn and brought the pot full of fruits and began to eat them by the side of the fire. She ate fruits this and that, one after another, and spat out the pits into the hearth, so they became a pile at the end. “I ate a lot. I’m sleepy.”

"Don't spit the pits into the hearth." The old story from Takayama Part-2
One day, her parents went down the mountain to town on urgent business. Snow was falling, mingled [or: mixed] with rain. The night fell as she waited for her parents to come back, putting a pot over the open hearth. “I hope they will come back soon,” she said / she thought to herself. The girl gave a small yawn and brought* the pot full of fruits and began to eat them by the side of the fire [or: by the fireside]. She ate this fruit and that one, one after another, and spat out the pits into the hearth, so they became a pile at the end. “I ate a lot. I’m sleepy,” she said/thought.*It would be better to say where she brought them, or say, "she brought them over."'
