Beautiful Vassilissa (7)
" Good, " said the witch, " I know them and I will give you the light. First, however, you must work for me for a while.
Then she turned to the door and cried, " My solid bolts, lift yourself; my door, open yourself ! "
The door opened and the witch went in side, while the wind whistled through the house.
When she reached her room, the witch sat down at the table and said to Vassilissa, " Serve me everything that is in the oven, I wantto have my dinner here ! "
Vassilissa lit a candle by holding it against one of the shining skulls on the fence.
Then she took the food from the oven and served it to the witch.
She also went to the cellar to get some ale, beer and water.
It was enough for ten men.
The witch ate and drank everything.
All she left was a drop of cabbage soup and a small piece of bread.
Then the witch went to bed, saying,
" While I am out tomorrow,you will clean the courtyard, sweep the room, make lunch and do the washing.
Then you must go to the shed, where you will find a pile of wheat, and get rid of the beetles.
Make sure that everything is done before I come home or I will eat you ! "
When she had finished speaking, the witch fell asleep and began to snore.
