Synopsis
On a rural farm, a boy and a girl live together. The boy often interrupts his work to play the violin, producing a melody that lifts the spirits of the girl and the farm animals. Their happiness comes to an end when the farm owner, enraged, destroys the boy's beloved violin. The boy, feeling sorrowful, meets a witch in the guise of a donkey. Though he only has dry bread to offer, he gives it as payment. The witch, moved by his generosity, chooses to reward him with a single wish.
