Soon the old witch liberates herself and heaping curses upon her assailants, she finds her way to her lonely hut. The robbers tie the donkey in the stable and as one of the band is removing the blanket from the animal he discovers a note in the folds, and upon investigating reads that in one of the donkey's hind hoofs there is a key to a box containing a large fortune. The fellows try to secure the key, but the donkey, who is under the spell of the witch, kicks and squirms in such a manner that they finally give up the task and liberate the animal. The intelligent old donkey makes a bolt for liberty and finds his way back to the home of the old witch, who gives him a hearty welcome. Written by
