Once upon a time, a
hawk fell in love with hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and asked hen,
“Won’t you marry me?”
The hen loved the
brave, strong hawk and wished to marry him. But she said, “I cannot fly as high
as you can. If you give me a time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then we
can fly together.”
The hawk agreed.
Before he went away, he gave hen a ring. “This is to show that you have
promised to marry me,” said the hawk.
So it happened that
the hen had already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster saw the
ring, he became very angry. “Throw that ring away at once! Didn’t you tell me
the hawk that you’d already promised to marry me?” shouted the rooster. The hen
was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring
immediately.
When the hawk came
the next day, the hen told him the truth. The hawk was so furious that he
cursed the hen. “Why didn’t you tell me the earlier? Now, you’ll always be scratching
the earth, and I’ll always be flying above you to catch your children,” said
the hawk.
The curse seems to
have come true.

One morning, one of
the Witch’s friends came over to visit. When she looked around the room, she
said, “Your house is ugly. My house is more beautiful than yours, and the walls
are brighter.” The Witch was very angry when she heard this and she shouted,
Get out of my house! And don’t ever come back here.”
After her friend
left, the Witch looked around her house and she said to herself, “My friend was
right. My house looks ugly and the paint is faded. I have to repaint it.” Then
she went to the shop and bought a can of paint.
After lunch, she
started to paint, and she worked very carefully. In the afternoon she finished
the lower part of the house. When she wanted to start painting the upper part,
she found out that she couldn’t reach it. Then she got an idea. “I will use my
magic broom!” she shouted, “Broom, oh my broom, turn into a paint brush and
paint my walls!”
Suddenly the broom
turned into a paint brush and it started to paint the upper walls. It worked
very fast, and in ten minutes the job was done.
The Witch was very
happy.
