One day a young hunter saw a magnificent deer and chased it through the woods. After a long pursuit, he arrived at a little house hidden in the middle of the forest, and there the deer was transformed into an old witch.
'You've fallen into my trap now,' cackled the witch, pointing a gnarled finger at him. 'Now I am going to change you into an animal as well.'
Terrified, the young hunter turned to escape, only to discover that the way was blocked by a toad, which suddenly changed into a bear. Then the witch changed again, this time into a black raven, which flew at the hunter to touch him and complete the evil spell.
But before the raven could reach him, a butterfly landed on the young man's shoulder and that was enough to break the witch's spell. The butterfly changed herself into a beautiful huntress with drawn bow and arrow pointing at the raven.
'Let us go, old witch, or else.....' she cried.
And then, even the beer, who was actually the brother of the huntress, returned to normal,. All three jumped onto the horse and escaped, followed by the uselessly croaking raven.
