exhausted ad started talking to himself. “oh, god!” I am in a big trouble. This
chest is very heavy but I should bear it in order not to lose muy wife.” After
the poor man came, the evil sorcerer took the chest on his back and started
walking. He murmured “What a heavy chest! No problem. I would do anythig to
take his wife. I would even do the most evil magic.” When the sorcerer came
back, the man in the chest told everthing to the wise man.
The wise man understood that
the man was the evil sorcerer. He said “You both took the chest to the mountain
and brought it back. We have a final test. Whoever can get into this Little
Green bottle is the real husband. “The poor man was really desperate and very
