Queen Cat

Once upon a time there was a woman who wanted a tiny, tiny child. She had no idea how to get one, so she went to see a witch. “Witch,“ she asked, “how can I find a tiny, tiny child?“ “Easy.“ said the witch. “Here's rye seed. It's not ordinary farmer's rye. It's very special. Plant it in a pot, and you'll see.“ “Thank you,“ said the woman. She gave the witch a gold coin, went home, and planted the rye seed. A bud on a long stem sprang up, tall as a tulip. (Kitabin Içinden)
