🧙♀️ WINNIE THE WITCH 🧙♀️ - Read Aloud

Winnie the Witch by Corky Paul and Valerie Thomas.

Winnie the Witch lived in a black house in the forest.

The house was black

on the outside and black on the inside.

The carpets were black

the chairs were black

the bed was black

and it had black sheets and black blankets.

Even the bath was black.

Winnie lived in her black house with her cat Wilbur.

He was black too.

And that is how the trouble began.

When Wilbur sat on a chair with his eyes

open Winnie could see him

she could see his eyes anyway.

But when Wilbur closed his eyes

and went to sleep Winnie couldn't see him at all

so she sat on him.

When Wilbur sat on the carpet

with his eyes open Winnie could see him

she could see his eyes anyway.

But when Wilbur closed his eyes

and went to sleep Winnie couldn't see him at all.

So she tripped over him.

One day after a nasty fall,

Winnie decided something had to be done.

She picked up her magic wand, waved it once,

and Abracadabra, Wilbur was a black cat

no longer. He was bright green.

Now when Wilbur slept on a chair

Winnie could see him.

When Wilbur slept on the floor Winnie could see him.

and she could see him when he slept on

the bed but Wilbur was not allowed to sleep on

the bed.

So Winnie put him outside outside in the grass.

When Wilbur sat outside in the grass

Winnie couldn't see him,

even when his eyes were wide open.

Winnie came hurrying outside

tripped over Wilbur

turn three somersaults and fell into a rose bush.

This time

Winnie was furious.

She picked up her magic wand waved it five times,

and Abracadabra Wilbur had a red head, a yellow body,

a pink tail,

blue whiskers, and four purple legs.

But his eyes were still green.

Now Winnie could see Wilbur

when he sat on a chair when he lay on the carpet

when he crawled into the grass

and even when he climbed

to the top of the tallest tree. Wilbur

climbed to the top of the

tallest tree to hide. He look ridiculous and he knew it.

Even the birds laughed at him.

Wilbur was miserable,

He stayed at the top of the tree all day and all night.

Next morning

Wilbur was still up the tree. Winnie was worried.

She loved Wilbur and hated him to be miserable.

Then Winnie had an idea

She waved her magic wand and Abracadabra

Wilbur was a black cat once more.

He came down from the tree purring

then Winnie waved her wand again

and again and again. Now

instead of a black house

she had a yellow house with a red roof and a red door.

The chairs were white with red and white cushions.

The carpet was green with pink roses.

The bed was blue with pink and white sheets

and pink blankets.

The bath was a gleaming white

and now Winnie can see Wilbur

no matter where he sits.
