Long ago a man was hunting with five of his sons, and they got very thirsty. The father went home, and the five sons went to a well. When the first son went in, and he met a witch who said "I will not leave you get any drink except you kiss me". No said the boy, and the next three said the same. The last brother went in and the witch said kiss me and you can drink all you want. So the boy said alright, and he took the (lady) witch in his arms and kissed her.
