and she had one of her servants pick it up and throw it away. The Snail was actually an old witch who

had disguised herself as a snail. The witch was very angry, so she cursed Dewi Limaran and changed her

into a golden snail and threw it into the river. The stream carried it far away from the palace.

On the side of a big forest, there lived a poor widow. Her living was only fishing. One day it was a

particularly bad day as she didn’t catch any fish. At last she pulled up the net to go home. Suddenly she

saw something shining at the bottom of it. It was only a snail. Its shell shone like gold. Nevertheless she

picked it up and took it home.

At home she put it in an earthen pot. She then went to bed and soon was fast asleep as she was very

tired. The next morning when she woke up, she found to her amazement that the floor had been swept

clean and there was some food on the table. She wondered who had done all this.

returned to her hut and hid herself. Suddenly she heard a soft movement inside the earthen pot and

saw the snail creeping out of it. It grew bigger and bigger and in a moment a lovely young girl stood

where the snail had been. The empty shell fell to the ground behind her.

When the old woman saw all this, she noticed that it was not an ordinary snail she had caught, but a

person who lived under a spell, and she knew what she had to do to break it.

She crept stealthily to the empty shell, took it, and then rushed out of the hut to throw it into the river.

Now she had broken only a part of the spell, and the rest of it must still be broken before she could

return to her husband.
