[2] In fact, King Hildebrand had been married for a long time, and his wife gave him seven children (six princes and a 12-year-old princess named Eliza).
When King Hildebrand's wife dies, she leaves behind many magical balls of yarn, one of which is the only thing that knows the way to the castle in the forest.
When Greta arrived at the castle in the forest, she waited until King Hildebrand's children came out and took out six pieces of enchanted white cloth on the spot to turn the six princes into swans.
It was already winter when Eliza walked to the cave far away from her country, but when she found that her six brothers had flown back to resume their human form, she ran up to reunite with them.
Six years later, just as Eliza was about to start knitting her last shirt, she was discovered by two hunters and a pack of hounds from a neighboring country and was taken out.
The old witch tells Greta not to worry, because there is only one week left for Eliza to lift the spell from her six elder brothers.
The princes successfully put on Eliza's shirt and transformed back into humans, and the swan feathers they dropped extinguished the fire at the stake.
When she tried to convince a executioner to set fire to Eliza and the six princes, he pushed her down and broke her magic wand.
Shortly after the princes rescued their younger sister, they told King Friedrich the truth, so the old witch and her daughter Greta were taken to the stake.
King Friedrich agreed to Eliza's request and expelled the old witch and her daughter Greta, preventing them from coming back here again.
