POOR FIFTH GRADE Once upon a time, there was a little witch named Persilla. She was very skinny and had a peculiar appetite. She ate children. One day she decided to go to school. She went to fifth grade. The teacher ' s name was Miss Davis. After a while, Miss Davis went out for a long distance call. When she was out of the room, Persilla ate three children. The next day when the children returned from gym, two more were gone. Within a week she had devoured the whole class! Miss Davis felt so bad that she ate Persilla. Now the teacher is a witch and flies to school everyday on Persilla ' s broom. Gail Wirtz THE LITTLE WITCH Long, long ago, the witches had a saboth every thirteen years. They picked new goddesses and sacrificed old ones. There was once a witch who was picked to be a goddess. After twelve and one half years, she began to be afraid because her thirteen years were almost up. She knew how it was to be taken into a room and sacrificed. So when the ceremony was about to take place, she ran away. The other witch- es hunted her and sent goblins to trace her, but they could not find her. While all this was taking place, the goddess was hiding out on a farm. She was living with a family that thought she was an orphan. She went every morning to milk the cows or feed the cats and dogs. She loved this more than anything else in the world . Then, one day a familiar face came to the door. It was a member of the witch-tribe. She was taken away and brought back to the tribe. Jenny Leimert THE WATER WITCH Once there was a haunted hall, and every Hallow- een a witch came and made it all flood up. In the early morning you could see a head coming out of the floor and a leak next to it. In the after- noon you could see her rise to her waist, and on her waist was a belt that said, ZELDA McWAT- ER, THE TWO MILLION YEAR OLD WATER WITCH. But nobody could see the two million year old witch, But if you did see her, she couldn ' t come back up for another two million years, which was a long time. One day a little boy was walking through the hall when he saw a belt on a waist that said, ZELDA McWATER, THE TWO MILLION YEAR OLD WITCH. But at first he didn ' t see the two million year old witch, and then he looked again and he saw her. Then the witch cried and went back through the floor never to be seen for two million more years.
