- (continued from previous page)to the house of an old witch. He knocked at the door and she opened it. She told him to come in. The boy went in. When she got him within she took a wand and put him under a spell and he turned into a stone. The minute the boy was turned into the stone one of the trees withered and the other brother set out to see what had happened to his brother. He went a long way until he got to the house of the witch. She came out and told him to go in but he said he would not. The old witch turned to go in and the boy said give me up my brother or I will shoot you. She took her wand and touched the stone. The boy got up and saw his brother standing beside him. He was very happy and he went home satisfied and happy.
