No country in the world is completely free from WITCHES.

Some countries have more, others have not quite so many. In England, there are probably about one hundred of them altogether. But there are still quite enough to make you nervous. Luckily, there are not a great number of REAL WITCHES in the world today. She can make stones jump about like frogs and she can make tongues of flame go flickering across the surface of the water. DonвЂ™t forget that she has magic in her fingers and devilry dancing in her blood. People who do those things get caught by the police.ДЄ witch never gets caught. And the child disВappears.ДЄ witch, you must understand, does not knock children on the head or stick knives into them or shoot at them with a pistol. Then at last, when everything is readyвЂ¦ phwisst!вЂ¦ and she swoops! Sparks fly. Then the witch stalks the wretched child like a hunter stalking a little bird in the forest. Squish them and squiggle them and make them disappear. Anything less than that and she becomes grumpy. She reckons on doing away with one child a week. вЂњWhich child,вЂќ she says to herself all day long, вЂњexactly which child shall I choose for my next squelching?вЂќДЄ REAL WITCH gets the same pleasure from squelВching a child as you get from eating a plateful of strawberries and thick cream. Even if she is working as a cashier in a supermarket or typing letters for a businessman or driving round in a fancy car (and she could be doing any of these things), her mind will always be plotting and scheming and churning and burning and whizВzing and phizzing with murderous bloodthirsty thoughts. It is all she thinks about the whole day long. Her passion is to do away with them, one by one. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS.ДЄ REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizzВling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine.ДЄ REAL WITCH spends all her time plotting to get rid of the children in her particular territory. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. The most important thing you should know about REAL WITCHES is this. In fairy-tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks.Д«ut this is not a fairy-tale.
