The Green Bird<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, there was a happy family. A man, his wife and their son and daughter. They also had a little yellow cow which they loved very much and were attached to.<\/p>\n

One day, the man\u2019s wife died and so he married another woman who turned out to be evil and did not like children. She especially hated the boy and the yellow cow. She began thinking of a way to get rid of them.<\/p>\n

The stepmother pretended to be ill and sent for one of the doctors she knew to make her better. She secretly asked the doctor to prescribe her the cow\u2019s meat and to rub her body with its blood as the only remedy that would cure her. The doctor then prescribed this in front of everyone. The children opposed this decision but were forced to agree to heal their stepmother. In a few days, the stepmother pretended to be all better and she rose like a deer. The father was happy she had recovered.<\/p>\n

After she was rid of the cow, she turned her attention to the boy, but the father refused and held on to his only son. Therefore, the woman went to an evil witch who made her black magic through which she could control the man. The father began to hate his son.<\/p>\n

The stepmother pretended to be ill once more and asked her husband to kill his son and feed her his flesh. The father than killed his son and she cooked and ate him and pretended to be healed then threw his bones in the garden.<\/p>\n
