Against the Dark Magic

2

Emma had come to the middle of the forest and she couldn't find the way back home. She looked for somebody to ask the path to go out from the forest. But there wasn't anybody to ask. Poor little girl, she was alone and couldn't find the path to her house. She went here and there in the forest.

Finally, she saw an old small house beneath a giant tree. She went towards the house and knocked at the door. The door was opened by a woman with a wicked appearance.

Emma was afraid. "Could you please tell me how to get out of the forest?" Emma begged.

"Come in," said the woman in a cruel voice. "I can help you."

Emma went inside. That house was in darkness and there was only one candle that lighted the whole house. From that weak light, Emma saw a rack full of jars.

They were filled with terrible things like big living spiders, snakes and lizards.

There was an innocent parrot in a cage too.
