Into the Woods

A Baker and his wife wish for a child but suffer under a curse laid upon the Baker's family by a Witch. The Witch had previously found the baker's father robbing her garden when the baker's mother was pregnant, demanding their baby in return. Because the Baker's father also stole some magic beans, the Witch's own mother punished her with the curse of ugliness. The Witch is able to lift the curse and allow the Baker and his wife to have a child, but only if they obtain four critical items for a potion to break her curse first: a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold, none of which she is allowed to touch.
