Bautiful Vassilissa (10)

Bautiful Vassilissa (10)

As she had done the night before, Vassilissa asked her doll for advice.

The doll answered, " Don't worry, go to sleep. The night will bring an answer. Tomorrow you will see that everything has been done. "

The next day, when the witch had left, Vassilissa and her doll once more shared the tasks.

When the witch came back that night, she was again annoyed to find no faults when she examined everything.

Then she cried, " My faithful servants,devoted friends, press the oil out of the poppies. "

Out of the air, three pairs of hands arrived at her command, gathered the poppies and took them away.

Then the witch ate har dinner, while Vassilissa stood infront of her in silence.

" Why don't you say anything ?  "  asked the witch.

" Hove you lost your tongue ? "

" If you allow me, I would like to ask you something. "

" Ah ! Ask if you like, but you should know that not every qjuestion leads to something good ! carkled the witch.
" Remember, if you know a lot, you soon became old. "

" I would like to ask you three questions, " said Vassilissa.
