Ведьма пришла к костру охотника и предложила то, от чего нельзя отказаться

Nowadays, everyone would call her a witch. It's more convenient. Say "witch" and it's immediately clear how to treat her: fear her, cross yourself, chase her away, laugh at her, or make a movie. But back then, when I saw her for the first time, I wasn't sure she was a witch. I thought more simply: a woman in the taiga, alone, old, dressed inappropriately for the weather, which meant either trouble, madness, or someone had left the village and didn't want to be found.
