Those Green Candies

Mikola searched diligently through his Halloween stash for the yellow packages of M&Ms. He ate the candies one by one, taking special delight in each of the green ones. He'd hold one between his fingers, stoop over and walk like an old woman, then pop it into his mouth with abandon.

"Ja Babi Yaha!" (I am Babi Jaga!)

Poor Rachel! Devoured by Babi Yaha, who kidnaps and eats small children. And lest you think that Ukrainian fairy tales are especially violent, remember that Hansel and Gretel were almost eaten by a wicked witch!
