A Witch's Spell

By Alice Bowen

25 March 1994

[Picture] Once upon a time there was a witch and she lived in a small house. She lived with her cat called Spooky. He was a black cat, a very sweet and fluffy cat, but underneath he was quite fierce.

One day she made up a spell for turning people into animals. The only snag was that you were never quite sure what animal they were going to change into. The recipe was:

3 pieces of sheep's wool
4 pig's snouts
5 cow's hooves
1 elephant's trunk
2 mice's tails
She got them all out of her cupboard. The cupboard door creaked open. She put them all in her cauldron and stirred her cauldron with her big wooden spoon. The cauldron bubbled. Then she put the mixture in a pot and put it back in the cupboard.

The End
