A long time ago, there was a homeless boy who
did not have a name. He had no relative except
for a poor uncle. It was winter and he did not
have warm clothes to wear.
One day, he went into the forest. After walking
through the forest, he found that he was lost.
In no time, the boy saw a path leading to a
castle. He walked towards it and went into the
castle.
He saw a witch inside. She told the boy to help
her send a stone to her husband at the other
end of the mountain. The witch promised to
give him a large sum of money as a reward for
helping her.
The boy agreed. When he picked up the stone,
he became a crow! He realised that he could fly
and was very surprised and happy.
Halfway, the boy felt very tired and sat on a tree
branch to rest. A hunter saw him and shot him,
and he was badly injured. The little boy fainted
and fell down from the tree.
When the boy woke up, he realised that he was
a boy once more. He was lying on a bed and a
beautiful princess was sitting beside him.
The princess asked the boy if he was fine, and
gave him the best clothes and food.
One day when he was playing in the garden, he
heard the servants saying that the princess had a
strange disease which could only be cured by a
special stone. The boy thought for a short while
and decided to give the witch’s stone to the
princess as she had been very good to him.
He went back to the castle and the witch asked
him if he had handed the stone to her husband.
The boy lied and told her that he did hand the
stone to her husband.
After a few days, the witch found out that the
stone was with the princess and was very angry.
The witch scolded the boy and told him that the
princess was actually a bad witch and everything
he saw was not true. The bad witch wanted the
stone because it can control the whole world!
The witch turned the boy into a mountain to
punish him. The mountain now looks like a
crow with two drops of tears.
