Once, a boy, taking his little sister by the hand, said to her:
- Since Mom died, our life has been very sad. Our stepmother mistreats us too much and keeps beating us up. To eat, she only gives us hard bread, and when we get close to her, she chases us away like we were animals. It treats the dog much better than we do. Let's get out of here, my little sister! Anywhere in the world, even alone, we will be happier than in this house!
The boy then took his sister by the hand, and the two left for this world.
