A young shoemaker left his village. Along the way, he found some ants, who were very sad because a bear had destroyed theiranthill（蟻冢,人群密集的地方）. The shoemaker helped them rebuild it, and the ants offered to return the favor.

But the witch locked him up in astinking（發惡臭的,非常討厭的）dunge on with a sack of sand mixed withpoppy（罌粟）seeds and told him that if he wasn’t able to separate the two, she would cut off his head at dawn.

　　The young man thought about his death. But his friends the ants came and helped him pass the test. The witch was astounded. Then she took him to a room where there were thirteen maidens with their faces covered: the shoemaker had to discover which one was the princess.

　　The young man became discouraged but he saw a bee that landed on... the sweetest one, the true princess. When the shoemaker uncovered her face, the witch was changd into acrow（烏鴉）. The young people fell in love and lived surrounded by animals and poppies.
