Sections (Navigate sections)
James, Timilehin, and Fatima had been walking for what felt like hours, but they had yet to find the witch's hut. They were beginning to lose hope when they finally saw a small hut in the distance.
The hut was made of sticks and mud, and it was surrounded by a thicket of thorns. As the three of them approached, they noticed a strange smell coming from the hut. It smelled like burning herbs and something else, something sinister.
When they reached the hut, they saw an old woman sitting in a rocking chair. She had long gray hair and a wrinkled face. She was wearing a tattered dress and a pointed hat.
The old woman looked up at them and said, "Welcome, children. I am the witch of this forest. I am the one who cursed you."
The three of them were terrified, but they knew they had to listen to her.
The witch explained that she had cursed them because they had trespassed in her forest. She said that the curse would last until they could find the three magical items that would break the curse.
The witch told them that the first item was a golden feather, the second was a silver bell, and the third was a diamond ring. She said that the items were hidden in the forest and that they would have to search for them.
The witch warned them that if they failed to find the items, the curse would remain in place and they would be doomed to wander the forest forever.
The three of them were scared, but they knew they had to try. So, they set off into the forest to search for the magical items.
They searched for days, but they could not find the items. Finally, they decided to give up and return to the witch's hut.
When they arrived, the witch was waiting for them. She said that they had failed to find the items and that the curse was still in place.
The witch said that she was willing to give them one more chance. She said that if they could find the items within three days, the curse would be broken.
The three of them agreed and set off into the forest once more. This time, they searched even harder and eventually, they found all three items.
When they returned to the witch's hut, she was pleased. She said that the curse was now broken and that they were free to go.
The three of them thanked the witch and ran out of the forest as fast as they could. They never looked back and never returned to the forest again.
The curse of James, Timilehin, and Fatima was finally broken.
