As reasonable as a witch gets I guess.
I think it less to do with the witch and more to do with dramatic structure. Ya gotta have a time frame for tension…very "Poetics".

Well, of course, part of the fun of this ITW fairy-tale world is the incongruities and "unreasonable" elements. "I need your shoe to have a child," or (in the original production) a cow with wheels and a handle, or a manly prince who is freaked out by the idea of dwarves, etc.
