Household Tales by Brothers Grimm SECOND STORY / FIRST STORY / SECOND STORY / THIRD STORY; lines 9690-9781 confidence: high
The witch touches the stones with a wand; the brother, animals, and many other people live again; the brothers burn the witch, and the forest becomes open, light, and clear.
After the witch is burned, the forest opens by itself, becomes light and clear, and the palace can be seen.
