The son of Antonida drowned in the village pond. My daughter had been coughing since spring and was melting before our eyes. And Antonida went to grandma Ole, about whom there were terrible rumors: she helped, but she charged an exorbitant price. - They cursed you, girl. You lost your son, and you will soon lose your daughter. – I agree to everything! Just tell me what to do? - You need to give birth to a child, it will pay for you, and the spell will go away from you. Just know: this child will have to pay for you all his life. The factual material is real. Evil eyes, a hooked nose, a hunched back and other witch paraphernalia are absent from the story. There will be no flying on a broom, there will be just life.
