The Fox Sister

A farmer had a son but no daughter. He prayed for a daughter, even if she was a fox. His wife gave birth to a daughter, but when the girl was six, one of their cows would die every night. One night, he sent his son to watch. The boy told him that his sister did it, pulling the liver out of the cow and eating it. The father threw the son out of the house.

The brother wandered until he met a wandering monk, who sent him back to the farm with magic bottles: a white one, a blue one, and a red one. The sister told him their parents had died and implored him to stay. She made a rich meal. In the night, the brother was woken by chewing. He rolled over and realized they'd eaten corpses. His sister stood over his dead parents, eating their livers. She told him she only needed one more to become a human.

He fled, throwing the white bottle behind him; it became a thicket of thorns. As a fox, she made her way through it. He threw the blue bottle behind him and trapped her in a river, but as a fox, she swam ashore. He threw the red bottle behind, and she was trapped in a fire. It burned her until she was no more than a mosquito.
