Black cat in a stew

You trot across to your mistress, and look up into her face and realise that she would be very pretty apart from the wart on the side of her nose.

"Go get me a mouse" she instructs you.

You head out of the door, and into the overgrown garden of the cottage.

Just then you hear a small voice squeak to you, "Can I be of assistance?"

Feet from you is a small white mouse. On instinct you pounce on it, and it is trapped beneath your front paws. As you are about to kill it it squeaks again.

"Don't do it, I may be able to help you get back your old form!"

You stare at him and ask him what he means.

"You were human once weren't you?" he says. "And now you're trapped as a cat".

He can see that you're clearly surprised that he knew this, and continues.

"I have seen this before, and know that it you stay as a black cat for more than a day, the witch's power will make you forget who you were before."

Slowly you release your grip on the mouse.
