She leaped onto c073ea4566 the shoulders of 73a2f3ebff a passing boy 827f798a34 and devoured half dc3c8bd501 his brain. The boy, now without 54d1ed64b4 his memories, asked:‘Who are you?’The witch replied:‘I’m your mother.’The witch 0537b88986 then proceeded 294aed1884 to eat 8a9f5a5820 the boy’s 0c06795a09 mother and af53bd1aa3 father one 8c2c0f992a by one, 56530e2413 and lived 373214e721 with the a993ec9d89 boy afterward. Though the house was 7ecb04f118 shabby, the witch was 677dcf522a satisfied.
