What do you want, my dear?
There was once a Queen who was married to a King, and when they could not have a child he sent her to see a Witch.
If you please, I want a baby. A very nice one. We don't want any expense spared. My husband said--
Men say many things about making children. Do you know children will bring you great sorrow?
Yes, but they bring great joy as well.
Very well. What will you give me for the child?
Then give me your gold crown.
And your necklace of blue sapphires.
Anything you ask for, and all I have!
And the diamonds of your little bright shoe buckles. And your ruby clasps.
And your pearl bracelets.
