In the 17th century there lived an old alchemist. He wanted to invent the elixir of eternal youth. His work was watched by a young man who was his assistant.

The alchemist didn’t allow him to do any experiments because it could have ended badly.
The assistant promised that he wouldn’t do anything stupid.

However, once he found himself alone in the laboratory. He forgot that he had made a promise to his master. He thought he could make the elixir of life. So he read something in the alchemy book and began to work.

When he finally finished, he drank the elixir and waited for the effect.

Suddenly, his hair and nails started to grow but his body began to shrink.

In the end, he turned into a black cat and escaped through the window.

If you ever see a black cat walking through the streets of Trnava, it will probably be the
alchemist’s naughty assistant.
