As they continue their journey together, they encounter bonkberries, a treacherous ravine, and come face to face with a tritch-a tricky witch. A growing fondness develops between the two, but will it be enough for them to survive the ordeal and collect the reward?This delightful full-cast dramatization by award-winning radio dramatist George Zarr features original music and songs with captivating sound effects.
