Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep in the woods, there lived an old witch. She was feared and shunned by the villagers, who believed she possessed dark and sinister powers. With her tattered black cloak, crooked nose, and piercing eyes, she looked every bit the part of a witch straight out of a fairy tale. Despite her unpleasant appearance and ominous reputation, the old witch had a secret desire for something simple and beautiful - a polka dot ribbon. She had seen the vibrant colored ribbons adorning the hair of young girls in the village and found them enchanting. The polka dots reminded her of a time when she was not feared and her heart was filled with joy.
