Old and worn by the time that has passed and the environment where it was built, the wood rotted and worn by the swamp. It should have sunk years ago into the swamp but somehow it remains standing despite the ever sinking earth around it.

milk maid
I am a milk maid, and i milk cows.  I make sure I have a clean surrounding.  I love what I do.
I don't remember what happened. I was just milking the cows and suddenly I fell asleep and ended up here! I was walking the path to the market and ended up here.   Well, that is most odd. Can you stand on this bucket and reach for the top of the window?  I will try but I'm a bit short.  We should be able to move some of these wood slats that have rotted but for some reason they won't budge. Sounds like an idea. There, I think I got one. I must get back to my cows!  Look there. There are other people heading this way.  Do you think the witch is back and wants to talk with all of us? Perhaps so, I wonder what news she brings. I have my doubts but I think she wants to perform witchcraft on us!  Oh please don't be afraid. I heard before she went away that she promised to return to help our village prosper.  I think this will be good news. We should never have went in the house. It has a spell on it and somehow we ended up inside. I hope you are right. If I were to disappear, my cows would starve to death! Oh I can't bare to think of it.  Please don't be so upset. You will be back to your cows shortly I'm sure.  I feel the ground holding us here so we have to wait a while.  Oh look I see a glow in the sky.  The witch is here and so is most of the village! Could it be? Are we going to be spared our lives? I was so worried there momentarily.  Oh look milkmaid. She is there. She is so beautiful.  Our village will be blessed and your cows will give you more milk than your buckets can hold.  Have faith.
