This was a pretty girl, not a witch. Then he looked at her again. He stared into her eyes. He saw that they were old and hard, cold and cruel. "You are a witch!" he cried, and started to run away-but it was too late. Ucay was under her spell. Ming was angry. "Go with your animals!" she shouted. "You like monkeys better than me."
