Do not come close to me you filthy little man as you can see I am better than you ,I am beautiful with clothing made of satin and lace..I have no need for you .Be gone you silly little man. The little man was lying on his back in the mud looking up towards the maiden.He began to chant "may your beauty be no more and dwell in the forest for evermore, till years go by ugliness will prevail all you will have is despair. Once you find your peaceful soul in the reflection of the mirror you will then know your heart is pure then there will only be the cure. Your evilness will be no more. The maiden laughed, you silly little man, begone from my sight you anger me. As she swung her cape over her shoulder and started to walk away .The maiden felt a hot rush throghout her body.

She was shunned out of the village and forced to live deep in the forest. Wandering aimlessly through the forest she stumbled upon a gloomy old run down stone cottage. She pushed open the door to find only and old table with a wooden bucket sitting besides the table,a cauldron in the stone firepit and a mirror on the wall with a Raven perched upon the mirror. Old hag you will live here till your curse is no more. Come closer said the Raven and see your reflection in the mirror. A hideous old hag of a witch was looking back at the once beautiful maiden. NO ,she screamed this cannot be for I am beautiful, I am not this ugly creature who reflects in the mirror. The mirror does not lie said the Raven. You must go on to change your ways for if you do not you will be forever changed. You need to prove you have a kind soul and a pure heart. That made the witch more angrier and meaner knowing she is no longer the beautiful maiden. She would curse anything and anyone that was beautiful who crossed her path. During her time in the forest she would wonder looking for herbs ,lizards toads and newts to fill her cauldron for incantations. Singing Boil, boil cauldron, rumble fire, boil cauldron. bubble. Chanting till dawn. The next day she wandered the forest for mushrooms. She came upon very beautiful and colorful tulips.. I will cast a spell on these tulips the witch screeched out loud.

What is this? she screamed. The tulips started to dance merrily up the hill singing tulips ,tulips dancing in the breeze cheerful tulips for all to see. The hag could not believe her eyes What has happened to my powers? Tulips sing no more yelled the witch. To no avail the happy tulips sang and sang all through the night. Sulking not knowing what to do the witch thought as she grew fragile and old her spells didn't have the energy and she could not focus as she used too..The old hag walked slowly back to the cottage and laid down for the night, being awoken by scratching on the door.
