In a small village in the middle of nowhere, a woman was in trouble. Her husband's birthday was the next day, and she had no gift!
In this village, there also lived a witch who had a prized rosegarden. She was very protective of this garden and wouldn't let anyone have her roses.
Can you guess what happens next?
The woman foolishly snuck into the witch's garden and plucked a rose. On her way out, the witch confronted her.
"For making one of my rosebushes imperfect, YOU shall become one yourself!"
POOF! She was a rosebush.
A couple days later, the woman's husband become worried. He knew the woman was taking a walk down the witch's street the last he had heard from her, and he asked the witch if she knew where his wife was.
"She stole a rose so I turned her into a rosebush. However, I see you love her, so I will give you a chance to get her back. There are three brand new rosebushes here. One of them is your wife.
I do have to warn you - every night the rosebushes change positions. Also, from sunset to sunrise, since I sleep, your wife's rosebush vanishes. This is so you can't try every rosebush without my knowledge.
To get your wife back, you must pick a rose from the rosebush she has become. If you choose the wrong bush, you and your entire family will become my rosebushes!"
The man came back the next morning 10 minutes after sunrise and picked a rose almost instantly. His wife returned.
How did he know which rosebush to pick from?
