On the other hand, a ghoul is always a male. But the fact remains that all witchesare women. I do not wish to speak badly about women. No country in the world is completely freefrom WITCHES. In England, there are probably about one hundred of them countries have more, others have not quite so many. Luckily, there are not a great number of REAL WITCHES in the world today.ĥ But there are still quiteenough to make you nervous. She can make stones jump about like frogs and she can make tongues of flame go flickeringacross the surface of the water. Don't forget that she has magic in her fingers and devilry dancing in herblood. People who do those things get caught by the police.

A witch, you must understand, does not knock children on the head or stick knives into them or shoot atthem with a pistol.

She gets closer and closer.Ĥ Then at last, wheneverything is !. Then the witch stalks the wretched child like a hunter stalking a littlebird 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. Even if she isworking 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 churningand burning and whiz-zing and phizzing with murderous bloodthirsty thoughts.ģ 'Which child,' she says to herself all day long, 'exactly which child shall I choose for my nextsquelching?' A REAL WITCH gets the same pleasure from squel-ching a child asyou get from eating a plateful ofstrawberries and thick cream. It is all she thinks about the whole day long. Herpassion is to do away with them, one by one. A REAL WITCH spends all her time plotting to get rid of the children in her particular territory. A REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizz-ling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than anyhatred you could possibly imagine. They live inordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS. 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.Ģ Listen very carefully. nihua- _ A Note about WITCHES In fairy-tales, WITCHES always wear silly black hats and black cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks.
