Max, 11

Responds to the Russian folk tale Baba Yaga:

Why did the gates, the servant girl, the big dog, and the thin black cat help Natasha escape?
Max: She gave them food, water, meat, cheese, a handkerchief and a few drops of oil.

Why did Natasha's small gifts mean so much?
Max: The witch never gave them good, hearty things like the girl did.

Comments?
Max: I think it was a real good story.
