"Bow-wow, Maryushka, have no fear, darling, it will be still worse, but you go on and never look back."
So it spoke15 and was gone. Maryushka went on and on, and the woods got darker, scratching her knees and catching16 at her sleeves. But Maryushka walked and walked and never looked back.
How long she walked is hard to say, but the third pair of iron shoes wore out, the third iron staff broke and the third iron cap was torn. And she came to a glade in the forest and saw a little hut on hen's feet with a tall paling all round and glowing horse skulls on the pales.
Then said Maryushka: "Little hut, little hut, turn your back to the trees and your face to me, please."
The hut turned its back to the trees and its face to Maryushka, and in she stepped. And there she saw Baba-Yaga, the witch with a broom and a switch, a bony hag with a nose like a snag.
Baba-Yaga saw Maryushka and she growled: "Ugh, ugh, Russian blood, never met by me before, now I smell it at my door. Who comes here? Where from? Where to?"
"I'm looking for Fenist the Bright Falcon, Granny!"
"It is no easy task to find him, my beauty, but I shall help you. Here, take this silver distaff and this gold spindle. Hold the spindle in your hands and it will spin all by itself and the thread will come out all gold."
"Thank you, Granny."
