Answer 1

YOU WISH TO HAVE THE CURSE REVERSED?
I’LL NEED A CERTAIN POTION FIRST.
GO TO THE WOOD AND BRING ME BACK:
ONE: THE COW AS WHITE AS MILK,
TWO: THE CAPE AS RED AS BLOOD,
THREE: THE HAIR AS YELLOW AS CORN,
FOUR: THE SLIPPER AS PURE AS GOLD.

BRING ME THESE
BEFORE THE CHIME OF MIDNIGHT
IN THREE DAYS’ TIME,
AND YOU SHALL HAVE, I GUARANTEE,
A CHILD AS PERFECT AS CHILD CAN BE.
GO TO THE WOOD!
