== Biography ==
Baratuja is a witch who lives in a cave in the middle of the forest and has an ogre son. She is known for roaming around the forest, with her approach always being heralded by the howl of wolves. One day her son tells her that he wants to marry the Noble hearted peasant lady who every day goes to the forest to collect firewood, so Baratuja leaves on her flying broom to find the girl.
On the forest, Baratuja asks the peasant lady to marry her son, but she obviously refuses, so the witch threatens to turn her into something disgusting (a football referee) before leaving. The peasant lady calls for Chapulín's help, but Baratuja returns with her son,  and she uses her magical wand to transform the peasant lady into a tree.
A woodcutter attempts to chop her down but Chapulín fights him to save her, after which Baratuja returns. Chapulín tricks the witch and takes her wand, but since he needed the arcane words for the wand to work the woodcutter threatens the witch. Chapulín, however, defends her, so she gives him the arcane words, allowing him to return the peasant lady to her normal self. Surpringly, the peasant lady accepts to marry Baratuja's son, but not before using the magic wand to transform him into a prince.
