The bright path is lined with roses, lavender, daisies, and lilies. Apple trees sit on a pristinely-manicured lawn. Hedges in geometric shapes sit just beyond the path. The path leads away from the castle and down to a pond full of fish and swans.

I need a new cushion for this throne! All this chatter in court is giving me a headache!  That Lord that just walked past offended my nose with his odor.  I need to find my chambermaid.
Ah, all the chatter in the court is making my head hurt. I needed to get some fresh air, and what a better place than this path! Good idea. It is always peaceful here. But hope all is well in the palace? All is well, dear. See this book? The Vizier is reading it aloud. VERY loud. And it's a desperately long, very boring book. I hate books. It is better to swim and enjoy the sun rays Yes, indeed. I'm going to eat an apple from this tree and try and relax a bit. Very well then. I see a witch behind you. Are you aware of her presence? Good heavens! A witch? Has she been lurking here long? She got here not too long ago. I think she want to cast some spell on you Give me my book back. I must leave here this instant. But where can I go to escape? Dont be scared. Attack the ugly thing Leave, you vile witch! This is MY kingdom! Nice...pluck a leaf and squeeze the juice into her mouth
