How can you dare, said she with an angry look, descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief? You shall suffer for it. Ah, answered he, let mercy take the place of justice, I only made up my mind to do because of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got something to eat. Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, if the case be as you say, I will allow you to take as much rampion as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world.

ENCHANTRESS: HAD to steal? Ridiculous!
MAN: But I did have to! My wife needed the plant so badly that she was dying! I couldn't just let her die!
