Wiki Assignment ("The Runaways")

When the grandmother got to the river, she promised the cranes that she would use her magic to transform them into any creature they wished to be. After all "It must be so dull to live in the water!" The cranes replied that they both wished to be great lions. The old woman agreed and she began to cross the river. After she got to the other side she started to walk away from the water. "HEY!" said the cranes "We want to be great lions, when will you transform us?"
"Never!" said the old woman, she stood next to the river taunting and making fun of the "ugly" cranes and told them that they would never be anything more than dumb birds.
Hiding in a bush nearby was the couple, they combined their magic and turned the cranes into lions, who then ate the old woman. Never before could their magic have been so powerful, but it was their love that made it that much stronger.
