Иван-Царевич really, really disturbed me. This is a children's story? Weird... Anywho...

I don't understand the usage of the case for witch in this fragment: ...отрубил ведьме голову.

And does this phrase "И никто не заподозрил бы её в обмане" mean "And noone seemed to notice her in the illusion?" It's where they're walking to weigh them and she's wearing a heavy-looking (apparently) dress.

And this word, past tense verb female: упала
As well as: широченное

And I didn't know, is this appropriate, that verbs in past tense may not end in -л. Such as ...забыв обо всём на свете... не выдержав её веса. And I don't understand this phrase at all "Но внезапно из леса навстречу ему вышла сестра." Is it "but all of a sudden, from the forest, meeting him, came out his sister?" Sounds weird...

Many folk tales are actually myths with underlying layer of deeper meaning (think Propp).
