"The Old Witch"

So the girl promised to do as she was told, but one morning as she was cleaning, and the witch was out, she forgot what the witch said, and looked up the chimney. When she did this a great bag of money fell down in her lap. This happened again and again. So the girl started to go off home.
When she had gone some way she heard the witch coming after her. So she ran and cried: WITCH STOP, leave me alone! I do not need anything from you and no longer fear you. I'm a big girl!
The girl then went off again, and reached her home with her money bags, married a rich man, and lived happy ever afterwards.
Much later, she suffered flooding and the consequences of not obeying orders. 
So the old witch went after her and caught her; she took all the money away from her, beat her, and So saying the witch changed the little girl into a block of wood, and then threw it on the fire. When it was fully alight, she sat down on the hearth and warmed herself, saying:


"How good I feel! The fire has not burned like this for a long time!"
So it was that she never learned to disobey the orders of our parents, and understand that they are only to protect us.
