Description
The weakling spoiled son of a wealthy man wants to impress the local girls but is unwilling to make the sacrifice of steady exercise, so he demands a witch brew him a potion to give him 'muscles of iron'. At first she refuses, as it would be too dangerous, but he doesn't care about any danger she may face. She says "You misunderstand. It would not be dangerous for me, but for you." He threatens to have his father throw her in jail and she relents. The potion gives him 'muscles of iron' but he is so heavy he sinks through the floor of the witch's wagon. He can barely pull his feet out of the ground as he makes his way toward a solid rock. As he stands upon the rock, the witch is the only witness to his fate, as his weight forces the rock deeper down towards the center of the Earth.
