Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a girl named Namasvi. Her hair shone like a river of golden sunshine and her eyes gleamed bright green. But not far from her happy home, in the shadowy forest, lived a wicked witch. Her tangled hair hung like withered vines, her nails were sharp as claws, and her heart was filled with envy. One morning, while Namasvi wandered through the fields, the witch crept up behind her. With a hissed spell, she cast Namasvi into a deep sleep. Under the cloak of night, she carried the girl away to a secret cave deep in the woods. There, with a wave of her twisted hands, she conjured a shimmering cage of magic to trap Namasvi forever.
When Namasvi awoke, she found herself imprisoned. Though fear stirred in her heart, she did not cry. Instead, she began to think of ways to escape. That night, while the witch snored on a pile of rags, Namasvi tried to reach for the key dangling from the witch’s pocket but it lay just beyond her grasp. And then, she noticed something strange. Each time the witch exhaled, tiny sparks of magic floated from her lips like glowing fireflies. The sparks always drifted toward the pocket where the key rested. Namasvi’s mind raced. The key must be bound to her breath, it follows the magic of her slumber. Quickly, she pulled a single golden strand from her own hair and tied it into a delicate loop. As the witch breathed again, Namasvi held the strand steady, letting the sparks guide it like a thread of light. Slowly, carefully, the glowing strand floated toward the pocket. With trembling hands, she tugged at the loop until, cling, the hair snared the ring of the key. Ever so gently, Namasvi drew it out.
Just as the key slipped free, the witch stirred. Heart pounding, she pressed it to the cage lock and the bars dissolved into golden dust that swirled around her like stars before fading away. She ran through the dark forest until at last she saw the lights of her home. Breathless, she rushed into her parents’ arms and told them everything. Word of the witch’s wickedness spread through the village, and the people’s anger forced the jealous witch to retreat into the deepest shadows of the woods.
