Once upon a time, a little girl, whose name was Alice, had been playing near to her house river, like many times before, when an ugly and terrorific old lady came out of the water and told her:

“Hi Alice, how are you doing?”- Alice, speechless, she just nodded approval to the lady and this horrible woman talked again: “Alice, don’t be afraid, I had been thinking how beautiful you are, just my old daughter.” Alice, that had been looking the deepest dark eyes of the lady asked: “Is your old daughter as beautiful as me? – The woman answer: “you know what? You are even more beautiful that her and that’s why I am taking you with me”. The woman took Alice into the deepest part of the river and never went out for three days, when Alice’s parents found her, she looked different, she became an old woman the recognized her for the clothes she had worn that day. Alice just lived three more years, and people started to say that the woman Alice saw, took away her youth so, she can live more years and be beautiful forever.
