A long time ago in a state called Kentucky, there were two sisters. One day one of them wandered off into the woods and stumbled upon a witch’s house. “Come in little girl” said the witch “You can stay here, while I’m gone. But do not come close to the chimney. It’s still hot from the fire.” The witch was off doing whatever the witches are doing. The girl as any other curious kid came close to the chimney. Since the fire was gone and the chimney cooled off, she looked up inside it. “Ah ha, this is why she didn’t want me to come close to the chimney” said the girl to herself “there is a sack of gold right there.” The girl didn’t waste any time. She grabbed the bag and ran off to her sister.
On her way home, she came across a cow, which hasn’t been milked for a few days. “Little girl” said the cow “Would you find some time to milk me?” “No way” yelled the girl.
Shortly after that she came across a sheep, which hasn’t been sheared for a few months. “Little girl” said the sheep “Would you find some time to shear me?” “No way” yelled the girl.
She went on and came across a horse, which hasn’t been ridden for a few years. “Little girl” said the horse “Would you find some time to ride me?” “No way” yelled the girl.
When she saw a mill, she decided to take a rest. But suddenly she heard “Little girl” said the mill “Would you find some time to turn me? Nobody has done it for a long time.” “I am too tired” yelled the girl and she took a nap in a shade.
While the girl was napping, the witch got home and found no gold in the chimney. She rushed down the road.
Upon seeing the cow, the witch asked her “Have you seen a little girl with a sack in her hand?” “Oh yeah, if you hurry, you will catch her” answered the cow.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the sheep. “Have you seen a little girl with a sack in her hand?” asked the witch. “Oh yeah, if you hurry, you will catch her” answered the sheep.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the horse. “Have you seen a little girl with a sack in her hand?” asked the witch. “Oh yeah, if you hurry, you will catch her” answered the horse.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the mill. “Have you seen a little girl with a sack in her hand?” asked the witch. “Oh yeah, she is napping right there in the shade” answered the mill.
The witch rushed to the girl and turned her into a stone. She took what was hers and went back home.
The other sister warring about her sibling being gone for so long, wandered into the woods herself. She also stumbled across the same witch’s house. She was also welcomed and warned as her sister. And as her sister she couldn’t resist the curiosity and looked inside the chimney. And there it was, the sack full of gold. And here we go again, the other sister grabbed the bag and ran off, too.
She came across the same cow, which hasn’t been milked for a few days. “Little girl” said the cow “Would you find some time to milk me?” “Of course” answered the girl and milked the cow.
Shortly after that she came across the same sheep, which hasn’t been sheared for a few months. “Little girl” said the sheep “Would you find some time to shear me?” “Of course” answered the girl and sheared the sheep.
She went on and came across the same horse, which hasn’t been ridden for a few years. “Little girl” said the horse “Would you find some time to ride me?” “Of course” answered the girl and rode the horse.
When she saw the same mill, she was asked “Little girl would you find some time to turn me? Nobody has done it for a long time.” “Of course” answered the girl and turned the mill.
She got tired after performing all those tasks and took a nap in the shade.
The witch got home and her gold was gone again. “I should have known better” she screamed and rushed down the road.
Upon seeing the cow, the witch asked her “Have you seen a little girl with a bag in her hand?” “Not this time, my dear” answered the cow.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the sheep. “Have you seen a little girl with a bag in her hand?” asked the witch. “Not this time, my dear” answered the sheep.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the horse. “Have you seen a little girl with a bag in her hand?” asked the witch. “Not this time, my dear” answered the horse.
The witch rushed down the road and saw the mill. “Have you seen a little girl with a bag in her hand?” asked the witch. “I can’t hear you, my dear” said the mill “Why don’t you get in my hopper, so I can hear you better.” And that’s what the witch did eagerly. In no time, the mill ground the witch up and that was the end of her. As soon as the witch was gone her spell was gone as well. The stone turned back into the little girl. And rest assured she learned her lesson to help the others when in need.
