The Three Angels Versus the Five Witches

Once upon a time in a far away village, a mean ugly witch named Tet lived alone. One day she decided to go to town to seek a man to marry and have children with. She disguised herself as a pretty woman. She casted a spell on the first man who approached her and they lived together as husband and wife. After a few months, she bore a son whom she adored so much. Unfortunately, the man found out that she was a real witch and asked her to go back to the mountain. Up in the mountain, the mean witch discovered that she was heavy with a child. She went back to town and threatened to kill the man. The man agreed to live with the witch again with a condition that she should always disguise as a pretty woman and forget her being a witch. She then gave birth to a second son whom she hated so much. True to her wishes, she gave birth to more children, all five girls named Deb, Loi, Tigress and Iya.

Years passed by and the second son named Noel grew up to be an obedient, kind and helpful boy. He was asked to do household chores, obey his older brother and serve his five younger sisters. His younger sisters asked him to do girly jobs like washing the dishes, cleaning the house and even throwing the girls’ urinal. He thought all along that being a servant was just the right thing to do.

Noel attended school in the nearby public school. As his family responsibilities were becoming bigger as he was growing up, he unconsciously seek for attention. That was why when a classmate in high school flirted on him; he did not stop her even though he did not like her. For him being adored was a nice feeling. But the girl whose name was Fanny became daring in announcing to one and all that they were sweethearts. Almost every night she would station herself on the road crossing waiting for the boy.

The mean witch did not like the idea that her second son would soon take a bride. She talked to her daughters about her fear. The daughters decided to study witch tricks from their own mother. So whenever possible they threw tricks on their brother’s girl friend. At the same time, they showed faces of approval on Fanny but behind her back, they ridiculed her. They called her “Kanto girl”, which means a cheap girl on the road crossing.

One day the boy met Xia, the girl of his dreams. They became lovers and got married even though both their families objected to the union. The mean witch and her daughters who became witches also decided to cast a spell on Noel. They declared: “Noel must be a son and a brother and never can be a husband and a father.”

Dark clouds invaded the sky but life went on and on…………


In Heaven, three angels named Kylenne, Darrielle and Karlisse were in their kindergarten classroom. Their teacher Martha was teaching them the rhyme “Monkeys on the Bed.” As they were singing the rhyme, they bowed their heads. They saw the Earth below. They saw the five witches. So, the three angels sang loudly:


One greedy mean witch kicking the son’s wife,
The wife softly cried and almost lost her life,
Father called the Council and the Council said,
Call more witches to kick your son’s wife.

Two greedy witches kicking the son’s wife,
The wife softly cried and almost lost her life,
Father called the Council and the Council said,
Call more witches to kick your son’s wife.

Three greedy witches kicking the son’s wife,
The wife softly cried and almost lost her life,
Father called the Council and the Council said,
Call more witches to kick your son’s wife.

Four greedy witches kicking the son’s wife,
The wife softly cried and almost lost her life,
Father called the Council and the Council said,
Call more witches to kick your son’s wife.

Five greedy witches kicking the son’s wife,
The wife softly cried and almost lost her life,
Father called the Council and the Council said,
Call more witches to kick your son’s wife.

After singing, the three angels went down to Earth. They could not let this thing happen on Earth.

Once the three angels stepped on Earth, heavy rains fell down followed by a loud thunder. The five witches got scared upon seeing the three angels. So they run to the mountain to seek refuge. The angels followed them and sang:

You five greedy witches kicking the son’s wife,
You cannot hurt her; we’ll care for her all her life.
Noel called in Heaven and Heaven said
No more greedy witches like you living a life.


White clouds invaded the sky. Noel and Xia lived together forever with their three pretty daughters and three angels.
