The Cat and The Witch

By
Elizabeth C. Stephens

Once upon a time there was a wicked witch. She always played mean tricks on people. For example, one day just when someone was about to comb his hair, she would hide the comb under the bed. Another day when someone was just about to take a bath, she would hide the soap on the roof. Once when someone reached for his drink of water, it was outside under the blueberry bush. She was such a mean tricky witch.

One day the witch saw a stray cat walking down the street. She thought, "I could take that cat to my house and make her play tricks on people." She took the cat home. Then she put a spell on her. She told her to go bite a little girl and a little boy playing outside.

The cat went up to the children. The little girl said "What a cute cat!" and started petting her. The cat said to herself, "I'm not biting the children." Then she started purring and rubbing against them. Then she went back home to the witch.

Well, the witch was furious. She said "I know what I'll do" Then she mixed up a potion in her cauldron. She put frogs’ legs. frogs’ breath, spiders legs and ants in. Then she gave it to the cat. The witch said, "Now go to that house across the street. Sneak into there cabinets and steal all there food. Then bring it back here. heh heh heh!"

So off the cat went. She came to the door of a very nice family. The mother picked up the cat and said "Oh how cute!" She gave her a bowl of milk. Then the father pet the cat and the children started playing with her.

The cat purred. Then she looked at the food in the cabinets. She said to herself, "I'm not stealing the food from this nice family." So she went back home to the witch.

Well the witch was furious! She said" I will have to make a stronger spell!" So she mixed up a potent in her caldron. First she added spiders, then ants, bees, cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies and bat hairs. She gave some to the cat and said" Now go to the house of those two old people and go look in their wallets. Than steal all their money and bring it back to me. Don't fail this time!"

So off the cat went. She came to the door of the old lady and old man. They opened the door and let her in. The old lady said" Oh how cute!" The old man gave her some food and a bowl of milk. They were very nice to her. The cat purred and purred.

Then the cat said to herself, "I'm not stealing from these nice old people." So she was about to go back to the witch when she thought. "I am going to stay here. If I go back to the witch she will just send me out somewhere else to do mean tricks." So the cat just stayed.

The witch looked into her crystal ball. She saw that the cat had no intention of coming home. The witch was furious. She went over to the old peoples' house.

The witch knocked on the door. When the old man answered, the witch said "Do you have my cat?"

"Oh," said the old man, "I thought she was a stray."

So the old lady went upstairs to get the cat. She handed her to the witch. Then the cat scratched the witch and ran back upstairs.

The old lady said," I don't think she wants to go home with you."

"Well I am going to get her. I will make her go with me and she will be very sorry. heh heh heh!" said the witch.

The old lady didn't want the witch to go get the cat. She knew if she threw water on the witch that it would melt her. But she didn't have a glass of water in her hand. All she had in her hand was a cup of tea. She knew there was water in the tea so she threw it on the witch and it melted her.

And that was the end of the wicked witch.

The cat lived happily ever after with the very nice old lady and old man.

THE END
