Once during a hunt, they wandered with a friend into a dense forest and fell into the hands of an evil witch. The prince sent his friend back. He was saved, but the prince did not have time to hide. And the evil sorceress turned him into a terrible monster, of which only one sight was terrifying for everyone he had to face. And therefore, the monster itself, sparing the feelings of people, shied away from them. And if the witch didnt instruct at specific hours to collect everything necessary for the potion in certain places in the forest, it would sit all year in a hut. Hunger made the monster hunt at night.
But why I am thinking only about bad things. Apparently, its time to get up, the monster did not have time to think, as the witchs shrill voice came:
Its time to serve. You seem to become lazy. You dont want to work or speak. Should I see your relatives, in order for you to amuse me and to enquire? the witch began to tease it.
I wish you hadnt seen them, the monster replied. But, having decided that it was not worth annoying her again, the monster became more pleasant:
Youre right, Im sorry. Now I will feed you, and you, please, tell me about my parents.
Thats better. Sit next to me. Otherwise Im bored.
The witch started a meal and began to tell the monster about her adventures, about the places where she had visited, about the parents of the prince. When she stopped, the monster, fearing that the witch would not finish the meal, began to talk about what it saw in the forest, what trials fell on his lot during the hunt, what happened new during their separation. And the witch, listening to him, sank deeper and deeper into slumber, not realizing what was happening to her. And finally, it happened! The witch finally fell asleep, her spells slept And a handsome young man in the clothes of a hunter appeared before the boy who came out of his shelter. Both watched in fear the witch, who had fallen asleep forever.
