Lizzy the Witch is terribly forgetful.
She forgets people’s birthdays
She forgets the time
She forgets where she is going.
She even forgets her broomstick.
But worst of all she forgets her magic spells!
As you can imagine, this makes life very difficult for Lizzie AND for everyone else.
Yesterday was a particularly bad day.
Lizzie woke up but forgot where she was and fell out of
bed.
Then she went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
She had bought some eggs the day before but couldn’t
remember where she had put them.
“Never mind,” thought Lizzie I can make an egg.
So Lizzie put an egg cup on a plate and the plate on the
table.
Then she waved her majic wand and said,
“abracadabra, abracadabra, chicks and ducks and eggs
and ………”.
But she got forgot the rest of the spell.
Did she get her boiled egg?
No. Of course she didn’t.
There in the egg-cup sat a chick. A fluffy, yellow
chick.
A confused, fluffy, yellow chick!
Oh dear thought Lizzie. This won’t do. I think I will go and
have breakfast with Maisie.
So Lizzie put the chick outside and climbed onto her
broomstick.
Now which way do I go, she thought. Is it right? Or is it
left? Or maybe it’s straight on.
After flying backwards and forwards and round and round
she finally reached Maisie’s house.
Maisie was playing on her trampoline in the garden.
“Hi Maisie,” shouted Lizzie waving her arms madly.
Waving both of her arms. Up in the air.
Of course Lizzie fell off her broomstick which is what
does happen if you forget to hold on to your broomstick.
Down through the air tumbled Lizzie. Head over heels.
Fortunately she landed on the trampoline.
Bounce, bounce, bounce went Lizzy.
Creak, creak, creak went the springs.
Oh dear thought Lizzy sitting down. I feel quite dizzy.
After all that bouncing Lizzy had
forgotten where she was.
She thought she was still at home.
Hello Maisie,” she said “How nice of you to come to see
me”
Maisie just smiled . She was used to Lizzie and her
forgetfulness.
After breakfast Lizzie went to visit Freddie.
Freddie was in the kitchen trying to put a rather large pot
on top of his cupboard.
I can do that said Lizzie and waved her majic wand.
“Abracadabra, abracadabra, pots and pans and …….”
She forgot the rest.
Do you think the pot went on top of the cupboard?
No. It stayed exactly where it was.
With Freddie in it.
Upside down. Legs in the air!
After helping to squeeze Freddie out of the pot, Lizzie
decided to visit Georgie.
Georgie was feeling sad because she hadn’t got a fancy
dress outfit for the Halloween party.
“I can fix that,” said Lizzie and waved her majic wand at
Georgie.
“Abracadabra, abracadabra, hats and cloaks and frogs
and ……”
She forgot the rest.
Do you think Georgie was pleased with her fancy dress
outfit?
Well not exactly.
Fortunately the spell didn’t last long and Lizzie and
Georgie were able to have a good giggle about it while
they enjoyed tea and cake.
By this time Lizzie was feeling very tired and decided to
go home.
Of course she had forgotten her broomstick.
She had also forgotten where she lived.
Lizzie walked down the path of what she thought was her
house and opened the door.
She was very surprised to see all her friends in her living
room.
But of course it wasn’t her living room or her house.
S U R P R I S E ! ! they shouted.
“We thought you had forgotten to come to our party,
Lizzy,” said Spotty.
Which course, she had!
She had also forgotten it was Halloween.
But then Lizzie Witch forgets everything!
