    Have you enough says the witch and the solider said he had.
    Have you the tender box,' I have says the soldier. Well that is all I want says the witch.
    What do you want with it says the soldier. That is nothing to you give me the tender box. What do you want with the tender box taking his sword and cutting the head of her.
