Mutual assistance
According to popular belief, witches use the strength, youth and beauty of people in order to remain forever young themselves. But witches can use the energy of other people not only for themselves, but also for their loved ones, if they need help.
Everyone respected the "technical" Tatiana Alekseevna at school. When she appeared, the children stopped bullying at recess. And the teachers greeted respectfully. On her shift, the hall and stairs of the school were cleaned to a shine. And the flowers, which she carefully looked after, were the pride of the school.
Marina, a young mathematics teacher, has just graduated from the teacher's college.
When she came to the office with documents for employment, an elderly woman came across her at the entrance to the building. But she was not an old woman. Straight back, light gait, neat bun of blond hair. If not for the cleaning lady's blue robe, she could easily have been mistaken for a teacher. Marina was amazed that the cleaning lady had chic gold earrings with sapphires in her ears, which did not fit her clothes at all. The woman gazed at the huge stones, was embarrassed and hastily apologized to the technician for her interest. She did not express any displeasure and only gazed into Marina's eyes. The young woman was speechless: her interlocutor's eyes were the same piercing color as the stones. They were two stinging pieces of ice: bright blue, bottomless and absolutely cold.
The teacher was quickly hired. The girl could not resist and asked the secretary about the amazing old woman she met at the entrance to the school. Marina was most interested in the question of why an elderly lady wears such an expensive piece of jewelry to work. The secretary was very surprised: she said that Tatyana Alekseevna always dresses very modestly, she lives poorly, and she has no expensive jewelry. And where do they come from? She spends her entire modest salary and pension on her young granddaughter and crippled daughter. Tatiana's daughter suffered in a car accident a few years ago and is now bedridden forever.
The school year began, and Marina was not up to thinking about the strange-looking cleaner. She completely immersed herself in work. But sometimes the image of expensive stones that Marina could only dream of arose before her inner gaze. One day, she came to school long before the first bell. The girl wanted to freshen up the summary of the lesson once again, sit in silence and concentrate. The door to the staff room opened. On the threshold Marina saw Tatyana Alekseevna, in her invariable blue dressing gown, with a bucket and a mop. Sapphires gleamed coldly in the woman's ears. The tech apologized for the intrusion and said she would come back later. Marina assured the woman that she did not bother her in the least, and the cleaner went about her business.
Luxurious earrings did not give rest to the young teacher. Finally, she made up her mind and asked the technician why she wears such an expensive thing to work. Tatyana Alekseevna was not offended. She explained to the girl that these earrings are the only valuable thing that she and her daughter have. But, apparently, she will have to part with her earrings soon. The granddaughter will go to first grade next year. There is so much to buy, but there is no money at all. She will have to give the thing to a pawnshop, and it is unlikely that she will be able to buy them back later. She asks for very little money for earrings. Exactly as much as you need to buy the things necessary for a first-grader. Marina got excited about buying jewelry. She said that in the near future she would collect the required amount and buy earrings. The technician looked at her with her piercing eyes: "I will be very grateful to you if you help me out."

On the same evening, Marina collected the required amount from friends and met with Tatiana. The elderly woman counted the money and took the heavy sapphires from her ears.
The next day, after the successful acquisition, Marina and her friends went out of town. The girl bragged about the purchase and aroused the admiration and envy of her friends. The way to the dacha ran through an unregulated railway crossing. Marina saw that the semaphore flashing red warning light, but the train was not visible in the visible space. The girl pressed the gas pedal, deciding that they would have time to slip through.
The young teacher and her friends were buried in a closed coffin. No one survived the terrible accident. The technician soon quit school. She explained her departure by the fact that a certain charitable organization allocated money for the treatment of her daughter, and they go abroad. And a month later, Tatyana Alekseevna, her daughter and granddaughter were seen leisurely strolling through the square. The technician's daughter looked completely healthy, as if there hadn't been a terrible accident.
The older witch found a way to get health for her daughter. She took advantage of the young woman's naivete and greed, and traded jewelry for her life.
Conspired
It is believed that in big cities the easiest way is to find a life partner or get a good job. But it is not so. The larger the city, the more lonely a person feels. The more difficult it is for him to find his happiness and get settled in life.
It seemed that Svetlana had everything: a separate apartment, a decent car, a money job in a bank. There was only one thing: personal happiness. Svetlana's age was approaching 30, most of her friends had already been married, had children and got divorced. They had a simple and unpretentious life, which Svetlana lacked so much. She would gladly change her successful career for their unsuccessful family life. A friend advised the young woman to go to a small village near Moscow. There, according to rumors, lives a witch who helps people find their happiness. Without hesitation, Svetlana took a day off at work, and went a hundred kilometers from Moscow in search of a healer. She had only approximate coordinates - the name of the village, the house number and the name of the healer.
Svetlana parked in a small yard, deserted during the daytime. A few minutes later, a car stopped nearby. A young woman emerged from her. Svetlana asked her if she knew where Valentina Ivanovna lived. The young woman quietly looked at Svetlana and asked what this Valentina Ivanovna was remarkable for. Svetlana was embarrassed and muttered: "I was told that she helps people." The girl nodded in understanding and pointed to the desired house.
Svetlana resolutely went to the entrance, but then they called her.
The girl, whom she asked for directions, said that she would not do it in her place. Svetlana was angry: this is her life, and she has the right to receive her share of happiness. The young witch warned: “Don't change your life with anyone. Each has its own destiny and purpose. No witch will help you, but only make it worse. My job is to warn. Do as you know."
The words of the young woman sunk into Svetlana's soul, but she still went to the healer. She performed incomprehensible rituals over her, poured water, demanded to kiss the icons and drink strange-tasting decoctions.
Svetlana returned home late. She was pleased with the trip, now everything will change in her life. The changes were not long in coming. A month later, the young woman met a pleasant man, and after another two, they got married. But a year later, the husband began to drink and raise his hand to his wife. She came to work frantic, with thoroughly powdered bruises. In the end, she made a serious mistake on important financial documents, and her boss threatened to fire her.
Exhausted by the "happiness" that had fallen on her, Svetlana rushed to the healer. But the witch just threw up her hands, everything is fair! The woman wanted to get family happiness, so that everything was like that of her friends. And she got it. Nothing can be returned back. Heartbroken Svetlana left the witch. She sat down on a bench in the yard and sobbed bitterly. A hand fell on her shoulder. The unhappy woman raised her head and saw the very woman she had spoken to a year ago. She shook her head sympathetically. "I warned you." Svetlana rushed to the woman asking what she should do now. The young witch just shook her head: “Do not wish someone else's fate. Live yours."
Svetlana took these words as a guide to action. She filed for divorce from her tyrant husband, and tried to forget her family life as a bad dream. Her unfortunate mistake at work was gradually forgotten, and Svetlana was offered the position of head of the credit department in one of the bank's branches.
She realized that you cannot copy someone else's life. For the first time, she brushed aside the young witch's words. But fate gave her the opportunity to clearly make sure that she was right.
