The Donkey Lettuces IX
Meanwhile the huntsman came nearer and when he saw the maiden in the window, he said to himself, "I have travelled so far now that I will rest, and turn into this beautiful castle; money I have in plenty." But the real reason was that he had caught sight of the lovely face of the young girl and he wanted to see more of her.
As he approached the front door of the castle, it was opened by a maidservant who welcomed him into the house. When he stepped inside he stood in awe of the polished black and white marble floors, the fine furnishings and the rich tapestries about him, yet it all paled into insignificance when he gazed upon the face of the beautiful witch-maiden as she greeted him at the top of the stairs.
