The next day the kingfishers warned her to be cautious of strangers.
They all called goodbye as they left and Bright Shimmer started to do the housework firmly thinking that she would not open the door of the burrow to anyone.
Around the middle of the day, there was a knock on the door. Bright Shimmer stalked quietly to the door and looked through the peephole. She saw a young raven looking back at her.
"Hello," said the raven "I was wondering if anyone here would like a lovely feather brush?" she held up a basket, which Bright Shimmer could see was filled with something shiny and sparkly.
Like all crested birds, Bright Shimmer couldn't resist shiny things, so she opened the door to the raven.
The raven took something out of the basket and held it up, "Maybe a beautiful beakbrush?" she grabbed another thing and held it up, "or possibly this bejeweled feather comb?"
Bright Shimmer saw the comb and immediately the spell that made it irresistible came into effect and she had to have it, so she bought the comb and bid the raven farewell. As soon as the raven left, Bright Shimmer immediately started arranging her feathers with her new brush, but as soon as she put it in her feathers the poison on it took effect and she fainted.
The raven who, as you have probably guessed, was the evil queen, was waiting outside the door to find out whether her poison would work, but when she heard the thump of Bright Shimmer falling she knew it had worked. She quietly stepped away from the burrow and took off to celebrate at her own castle.
