Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab had been walking for hours, and the sun was beginning to set. They had been searching for the witch's hut for what seemed like forever.
Suddenly, they heard a loud cackle coming from the nearby woods. Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab looked at each other in fear. They knew that the witch was near.
The three of them cautiously approached the woods. As they got closer, they could see a small hut in the middle of the trees. Smoke was billowing out of the chimney, and the cackling was growing louder.
Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab slowly made their way to the hut. When they reached the door, they heard a voice from inside.
"Who dares to disturb me?" the witch said.
Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab were too scared to speak. They just stood there, frozen in fear.
The witch opened the door and stepped out. She was an old woman with a long, crooked nose and a pointy hat. She looked at the three of them with a menacing glare.
"What do you want?" she asked.
Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab were still too scared to speak. Finally, Ibrahim mustered up the courage to speak.
"We are looking for the magical stone," he said.
The witch laughed. "You must be brave to come here looking for the stone," she said. "But if you want it, you must prove yourselves worthy. I will give you three tasks. If you can complete them, then you may have the stone."
Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab looked at each other. They knew that this would be a difficult task, but they were determined to succeed.
"We accept your challenge," Ibrahim said.
The witch smiled. "Very well," she said. "Your first task is to find the magical flower that grows in the forest. Bring it to me, and I will give you your next task."
Ibrahim, Olayinka, and Zainab nodded and set off into the forest. They had no idea what they were looking for, but they were determined to find the magical flower.
