When Masha and Petya were walking at night near the old castle they saw candlelight in its windows. They decided to come closer to the castle and went in. When they came into the hall they took the candle. Then friends saw a lady upstairs. She had an angry face with big eyes. She was wearing green, long dress and a crown on her head. She was standing in front of the mirror. Suddenly Masha and Petya saw a witch in it. They screamed “Aaaargh!” and ran away. Finally they decided to keep away from this place.
