Once upon a time there was a lady whose name was Patience who was married to a kind man called Jontil and they lived in a lovely cottage on the edge of the woods. Patience had wished for a baby for a long time and was very sad that they didnt have any children. Their cottage seemed very empty and they would often hear children playing in the other gardens nearby which made them feel sad. When they moved into their cottage, the lady next door whose name was Colere had just had a lovely little baby boy. Patience had been to see lots of witches and wizards but no one had been able to help them. One day she was coming out of the wizards cave when she saw her other neighbour Suffi talking to a kind witch about the baby she was expecting which made Patience cry and cry.
One day Patience visited a different Wizard on the other side of the woods; he was a clever little man with a brown face and said he could help them. He gave Patience a magic potion and told her to wait 2 weeks to see if it had granted their wish. He said it might make her feel a bit dizzy and unwell but she didnt care. She took the magic potion but she still didnt have a baby. She went back to the wizard and he told her to try again. She tried 2 more times but nothing happened and she was very sad.
During that time the Princess of the land had a lovely baby boy; Patience was very happy for her but wished she could have her own baby too. She went back to the wizard who said he would do a special spell for her; the magic had worked on other ladies before so Patience felt very hopeful and excited. They did the spell twice but still there were no babies for Patience & Jontil. Soon Suffis baby boy was born, he was beautiful and Suffi & her husband were very happy.
Months passed and Patience tried not to cry every day. One day she and Jontil got together all the money they had, gave it to the little brown wizard & asked him to do a special magic spell for them. Patience had to take lots of different potions which made her feel ill and then they both had to visit the wizard in his cave for the magic spell. Patience worked with some fairies in the town every day and the Head Fairy was very kind and let patience have time off to see the wizard. The wizard gave them an envelope with a piece of paper in it. He told them not to open the envelope for 14 days otherwise the spell wouldnt work. If it had worked the piece of paper would have 2 lines on it, if it hadnt it would have just one line.
Patience and Jontil wished and wished and soon it was the day to open the envelope. The piece of paper had just one line on. Patience cried and cried. Jontil eventually had to go to work so Patience got up, and as she looked out of the window she saw that Colere was expecting another baby. By now Patience and Jontil were the only couple in the village without any children and they felt very lonely. But they loved each other very much and tried hard to cheer themselves up.
Patience & Jontil went away to a far away land where it was warm and sunny and when they came back they felt a bit happier. The next evening Patience went to visit her sister who told her that she was expecting another baby. The same evening Jontils sister phoned and told him that she was expecting another baby too. They were both happy but had to try not to cry as well in case their sisters thought they were jealous.
Just before Christmas they tried the magic spell again, but again the piece of paper showed only 1 line. They also found out that the Princess of the land was expecting a 2nd baby! In the Spring they had another go of the spell with even more yucky potions but the magic still didnt work. One day when Patience was in the house next door she saw a picture of another baby in Suffis tummy. She was so sad but didnt say anything to Jontil because she was now so used to everyone having one or two babies except for them. They went back to see the wizard but this time the wizard told them that they had been wishing for a baby for so long that they might have run out of time. He told them to go and see a different wizard in a far away land.
The new wizard was tall and handsome with a nice smile and said he could help them. He sent Patience & Jontil to a young witch for some more spells and soon it would be time for them to come back for their final magic spell ..
