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...

People would never look strange at you if you would speak correctly :) It's rather funny when a person with an obvious foreign accent tries to imitate fast colloquial Russian speech, while when a foreigner speaks correct Russian, it sounds really nice even with a heavy accent. Most of the people whose native language is English would never get rid of a heavy accent in Russian (since the two phonetic systems are TOO different: the opposite is also true,) but they still can speak correct, literate Russian.
