"Secret!" The old woman smiled wickedly. "And tell me your decision now! Do you want me to turn you into a frog or lizard?" she asked wickedly.
"I prefer to be turn into an old woman!" Mende answered immediately. She feared that the evil witch will turn her into a frog or lizard if it takes her a long time to decide. She won't be able to live a normal life if the witch will turn her into an animal. She was sure she will never survive in the wild if she will become a small animal.
The old woman smiled broadly. She envied the youth and beauty of the stupid girl. It would be nice to turn her into an old woman just like her. "Wise decision, little girl!" she smiled in amusement.
