They are able to bewitch anyone if the imps run in them, the stars sparkle and the blue sky is seen. But women have always valued natural gifts not very highly, so they resorted to tricks of various kinds.

And the men did not even suspect such nightmares and were touched by an uncertain walk and the feet of a puppet size.

Women around the world bought miracle jars and went crazy with delight. This lasted until scientists proved the presence of a small side effect, as a result of which the pretty ladies literally fell off their jaws.
