A hunter chased after a deer and went deeply in forest. He arrived to a place which seemed not to have visited by human before. He found the way to turn back but the more he went the more he disorientated. Long time later, he made his way pass bushes to a stream and drank, he saw a small house standing by the stream. He happily walked toward the house, knocked on the door. A young girl appeared after the door, invited him to go in and prepared for him a meal. Though the hunter felt doubting, he ate things on the table because he was so hungry. She also didn’t intend to hide him that she was going to find a husband she looked happy as she met a man. After the meal, she turned to the hunter and said:
“Now, you have to hide yourself if you don’t want to lose your life”.
“Why?” said the hunter in surprise.
“You don’t know my mother is a witch, do you? She was a dark witch who will kill you if she sees you. Now, she is absent but she will early come back. But, don’t worry, if you and me marry, you will be safe. Therefore, you have to hide yourself before I tell her about the thing”, said the girl.
The girl grabbed his hand, led to a basement then filled the exit by a large rock. The witch came back at night, she hissed.
“Human is here. Where?” she said.
Though the girl had hid the hunter carefully, she could find him after a short time. She pulled him out and planned to kill him but the girl sprinted to and screamed:
“Don’t kill him mom, pleaseee. I need a husband”.
The witch turned to the hunter, gazed at him by her evil eyes and said:
“Do you want to marry with her”.
The hunter had no choice but to agree. He said:
“Yes, I want her”.
Therefore, the hunter stayed in there and pretended as the husband of her daughter. Time passed, the hunter felt missing home. He intended to escape but still didn’t do because his wife said the witch had many powerful magics so escaping from her was very difficult. One day, the witch was absent, his wife led him to a secret room and showed him something. She pointed to a rod and said:
“This is magical stick. If you poke it on one’s head, he or she will dies but if you poke on his or her head one more time, he or she will revive”.
She pointed to two pockets and continued saying.
“There pockets are very marvelous. One can change sea to forest and one changes forest to sea”.
The hunter pretended as if he didn’t believe what she had said. He said:
“That is nonsense”.
“If you don’t believe, I will ask my mother show you after she come home”, said his wife.
“Why we don’t verify ourselves. I will poke on your head by this stick and help you revive after that”, said the hunter.
His wife agreed and let him try. The hunter poked on her head, she fell down ground at one. She died but the hunter didn’t plan to help her revive. He grabbed remaining things, two pockets and escaped.
He ran out the house as fast as he could, without resting. He kept running till nightfall when he heard roar after his back. Realized that the witch was making ground collapse after him, he immediately threw a pocket backward. High mountains appeared after him at one.
“She will never get pass the mountains”, he thought and still kept running but later, he heard her voice after him.
“Stop if you want to keep your life”, roared the witch.
The hunter turned confused but he got his calm again at one. He threw the second pocket backward and immediately, ground was changed into sea after him.
“If you want to chase after me, you have to fly”, muttered the hunter.
Though he tried to run fastly and used two pockets, he couldn’t find out how the witch could be after him only short time later. At last, he hid himself after an ancient tree and waited for the witch. When the witch ran cross the ancient tree, he used the stick and poked on her head. The witch fell down she died. At that time, he slumped against ground he felt very tired but also very happy because the witch had died. Later, he made his way to his home and used the magical to help others.
That year, mother of the recent king had dead disease. The recent king was filial he notified that anyone who could cure his mother would had award. The hunter brought his stick to castle at one as he heard the notification but when he arrived to castle, mother of the king had died and was nearly buried. He went to the gate of castle and asked guards to go in but the prevented him.
“I hear the king need a doctor to cure his mother, doesn’t him. So, why you prevent me, guys?” said the hunter.
“Mother of the king had died for five days. You don’t need to come in”, they said.
“Died! Course, I can cure a dead”, said the hunter.
Guards led him to castle. The king opened the coffin and let him cure his mother. He poked on her head one time and few seconds later, the mother of the king sat up. She revived front surprised eyes of others. The king was very happy and gave the hunter many treasures which help him can live in wealth till he died.
