The little girl tried to talk to her mother just she was hushed.

"Do not speak!" The mother admonished. "I have told you to away from that witch! But you would do what you want to do now look at that wound on your head."

The little girl tried to speak up and tell her mother that she had been saved by Jasmine when she had fallen in the ditch.

But her mother hushed her immediately.
