Description
Inspired on the Chinese folktale Mrs Number Three (Banqiao Sanniangzi), about an innkeeper who's actually a witch, that uses her magic to turn travelers into donkeys. I discovered this story thanks to Angela Carter's Old Wives' Fairy Tale Book, a book that I recomend everyone to check out, specially if they're into folktales.The story kinda reminded me of Circe in the Odyssey, only she prefered to turn them into pigs.
