The story

First we see a camp of witches, each with a white ribbon tied to her back, and tourists from a coach are looking at them through a fence. Then a serious little girl shows up in a village, and the villagers tell her to choose whether she is a witch, or else she will become a goat; and it is quickly decided she is a witch. When she refuses to answer questions confirming or denying she is a witch, she is taken to a witch doctor who sacrifices a chicken to determine whether she is a witch or not.
