    me and this time there were no hairs to choke them. The hound pulled off the witches arm and the horse gave her a kick. When the witch was half dead she said I will get your brothers if you let me alone. The witch went out and hit two stones and in came his two brothers. The witch went away glad to escape with her life. The three brothers went back to the King's palace and lived happily ever afterwards.
