Context examples:
She wanted to save her brothers, and had no key of the castle of the glass-mountain; so this faithful little sister took a knife out of her pocket and cut off her little finger, that was just the size of the piece of wood she had lost, and put it in the door and opened it.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
They did not awake until it was dark night, and Hansel comforted his little sister and said: Just wait, Gretel, until the moon rises, and then we shall see the crumbs of bread which I have strewn about, they will show us our way home again.
(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
