The Secret Of The Cloak

There lived a hardworking and courteous woodcutter. He was very poor and sick of his circumstances. One day, he was going outside his house. He met an old woman who asked him for help by giving her some food. He gave all the fruits he had to the old woman. The old woman loved his kindness too much.

Old woman: You are so courteous. I tell you the secret. To the right of this way, there is a tree. There is also a small granting cloak stuck between its stems. Pick that carefully keeping in mind that it will no tear. Put that below your pillow, the next day you will get one coin.

Woodcutter: Thanks, old lady. May my fortune will glow now.

The Woodcutter did the same and took the cloak with his home and placed that below his pillow. The next day, he saw a coin below his pillow.

He put the cloak daily below his pillow and got the coin. He collected many coins within some days. He became rich within days. One day he saw a dream in which one Witch appeared.

Witch: Don’t collect those coins. Also, return the cloak. That tree was mine. If you will not do this then I will eat you. Hahahaha!

The Woodcutter awoke suddenly and to satisfy him consider that the dream was not real.

Woodcutter: Oh! What kind of horrible dream I saw! I should ignore it.

The next day, the same Witch appeared in his dream. After seeing that dream for three days, he became conscious. The next day, in his way he saw that old woman who had given him the way of the tree.

Woodcutter: Dear old woman! I am too much tensed. He told the whole story that how Witch scares him.

Old lady: Oh my dear friend! Please forgive me. I didn’t tell you the whole story. Woodcutter: What do you mean by this? (he asked in a lot of disappointment)

Old lady: I feel regret to tell you that the Witch which appears in your dream is saying the truth but the one thing she didn’t tell you that is that she will not leave you even now if you return all her coins, and cloak

Woodcutter: Why you didn’t tell me all this before?

Old lady: Actually, that the tree is magical and the owners are fairies. That Witch wanted to get that tree by force. The tree was very old. In 1921,100 years before, in a fairyland, there was also a war between fairies and Witches due to this cloak. That was moon witch. She lives on the moon with her kingdom.

Woodcutter astonished too much.

Woodcutter: So, what happened in the war, and what was the result? Old lady: “The Truth always prevails”. We won.

Woodcutter: What we? Did you there?

The old lady magically turned into a beautiful fairy. Woodcutter lost his consciousness.

Old lady: I am a fairy. You seemed so courteous that’s why I granted you to get some benefit from our tree. I hadn’t the idea that the Witch will appear again to get this tree.

Woodcutter: So, what can I do now to be safe?

Old lady: Can you help us to save our tree from that Witch? Woodcutter: How can I help! You are even more powerful than me.

Old woman: But the humans have some power that we don’t have. Even we are dependent on our magical stick for everything. Personally, we are weak. Also, our IQ is less than humans.

Woodcutter: So, what should I do?

Old woman: Tomorrow, there will be the lunar eclipse. The Witch will come to the Earth.

You have to burn her. Because we left her alive in the war due to sympathy but at this time if you don’t kill her, she will bring big destruction to the world due to the power of the cloak. Will you help us?

Woodcutter: Ok, I will do it. You did kindness with me when I needed it. Today, I have to do it for you when you are needy. But how I will kill her?

Old woman: As the Earth people cannot exist on the moon for a long time. Similarly, the moon people cannot exist on the Earth for a long time without proper methods. The witch could not stay for more than 24 hours. At the time of every lunar eclipse, she arrives on the Earth with her spaceship and leaves before 24 hours at every extent. You have to damage her spaceship.

Woodcutter: Oh! Just to damage a spaceship that’s too much easy.

Old woman: No dear, it’s not like that. That spaceship is magical. You cannot damage that with any hammer or rock.

Woodcutter: So, how will I do this? Old woman: Powerful punch

Woodcutter: Hahahaha! My punch will destroy her spaceship.

Old woman: Uf! I am not joking. Your punch will destroy her spaceship. You have to develop spiritual power in you.

Woodcutter: What? I don’t want to become an abnormal person.

Old woman: No, you will not become abnormal for a lifetime. You have to grab the spiritual powers of the Witch. After the Witch will die, powers will be eliminated from your body automatically. Grab her spiritual power. You have to kill her with her own powers.

Woodcutter: How I will grab her powers?

Old woman: Her spiritual powers are enclosed in a glass bottle present in the locked cabin of her spaceship. You have to throw the whole fluid in the bottle upon you to get powers.

Woodcutter: Ok, I will do it.

The next day, at 3: am the Witch reached the Earth. The Woodcutter was fully prepared for her task. When the Witch moved out of her spaceship, the Woodcutter came close to the ship to get the bottle. But he could not get the bottle from the locked cabin. He was unable to open it. Now, he had to get keys to that locker. He remembered that when the witch came, there was something in her front pocket that appeared like keys.

Woodcutter: Oh! I remember my parrot can do this.

The Woodcutter readily ran towards his house and asked his talking parrot to get the keys from the Witch pocket. The parrot flew towards the Witch and try to get her attention by singing a beautiful song. The Witch closed her eyes in the imagination. The parrot got the keys and moved towards the Woodcutter.

The Woodcutter got the keys and unlocked the cabin. Picked the fluid and throw that on him. He felt really energetic after being wet. With a strong hand, he punched the spaceship. The spaceship broke.

When the Witch came there to go back, she was shocked to see the destructive space ship. She died after one hour due to the completion of 24 hours time. All the fairies appreciated the Woodcutter and gifted him a lot of gold and diamonds. That was the day when he finally got the reward for his kindness.
