The Kingdom of Bastinda

Ellie, Strashila, Zheleznyy Drovosek, the Lion and Totoshka set off again and come to the Purple Country, where for some reason the wells are covered with sand. The stupid Wolf, Bastinda's servant, says that the mistress does not like water: if you splash it on her, she will melt. Strashila offers to go to Bastinda's castle, taking water.
