A man had a wife who ate everything, leaving him penniless and starving. To discourage her, he gave her a plate of cotton, but she ate it anyway. He tried a plate of rocks, but she ate those too. He fetched a doctor to cure her, but she ate the doctor.
Desperate, he consulted the village witch, who said, “Feed your wife this potion, and she’ll be cured.”
So he did, and his wife turned into an enormous dragon and ate him. Then the dragon left to thank the witch, sorry she had ever wished to be human at all.

Loved that. It reads like an old fashioned nursery rhyme/story.... brilliant.

Lol! I knew something was amiss. Just never thought it was what it was.
