THE SHRINKING OF MATHILDA Once many years ago in the country of Zanzabi! in a gloomy forest, there lived three old witch lugs. One day, while they were outside, a handsome prince came galloping through the forest on a merry chase. All three sisters immediately fell in love with him and began to quibble about which of them was to be the lucky bride. They decided they would try the new lottery game called drawing straws. This they did and Mathilda won. Three nights away was Halloween, All Saints’ Eve, the only night of the entire year when witches had the power of putting to use all their magic. Mathilda being of fairly sound mind decided the prince wouldn’t marry an ugly hag like herself. She knew she must change herself into a beautiful lass if the prince was to have any part of her, but the magic recipe her great-grandmother had told her about was hidden in a cave guarded by a gnome who was both deaf and dumb. Mathilda managed to bribe the little creature and procure the recipe. Neat she found the necessary ingredients such as fish liver, eel's eye- balls, chicken viscera, and last of all, three pinches of baking powder for buoyancy. This brew she wished to make away from the eyes of her meddling sisters. After she finished mixing her concoction, she left it to set for a while. Shortly thereafter, Elmira, one of her sisters, appeared and thought to herself, “I think I will add two pinches of baking powder for good measure. After adding the powder, she left. A short time after this, Fanny, the youngest sister, who was sorely in need of reducing. lumbered in and said, “I think I will add a pinch oc two of baking powder for buoyancy.” She leaned over the kettle and by mistake, instead of the baking powder, she dumped in her diminutive powders which seemed to have had little effect on her size. Soon Mathilda entered and drank a full goblet of the murky con- coction. Then a strange thing happened. She found herself getting smaller and smaller until site was no bigger than a sneeze. In this true account, too many cooks not only spoiled the brew but the romance. . . . Kathy Shore IF I HAD A WISH If I had a wish, I’d wish for a fish— Not an ordinary fish, you know— I’d wish for a fish In a great big dish, One that could teach me to sew! If I had a wish, I’d wish for a bird— Not an ordinary bird, you know— I’d wish for a bird Only slightly absurd, One that could teach me to crow. . . . Eliza Barnard WEAVING How I love the song of the loom, When pedals clack and reeds boom. I can sit and think about anything And whistle, talk, or even sing. The weaving room is a pleasant place. Lit up with sun and cheery face. Here damsels weave for many hours And dream away in ivory towers. The rhythm is either fast or slow On rug or scarf or skirt or throw. Weaving is hardly ever dull. My spirits rise like a soaring gull. . . . Mimi Judd
