School has broken up for the summer and Miss Piggott will still be our teacher next term. She’s spending the summer looking for a new flat so can’t afford a holiday. Ram, Angus and I have just returned from A DAY OUT at WOOKEY HOLE CAVES where Angus spotted an advertisement which read ” WANTED: WICKED WITCH MUST BE EXPERIENCED IN CACKLING. ACCOMMODATION PROVIDED IN CAVE.” Apparently there was once a witch there but she was TURNED TO STONE BY A MONK FROM GLASTONBURY ABBEY. That was before the pop concerts were held there. We thought at first that ANGUS’S MUM, MAGGIE BURTON, might be ideal until a spokesman called Daniel said “we are looking for someone who is friendly,a little mischievous and with lots of character. A limited range of potions will be available.” Angus then thought it was A SHAME THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A “DOG WITCH” AS HIS DOG HENRY VIII WOULD HAVE BEEN IDEAL as he is MISCHIEVOUS WITH LOTS OF CHARACTER and makes ALL KINDS OF POTIONS IN WEIRD AND WONDERFUL WAYS APPARENTLY.
Anyway we think that the witch could be GREEN and could cast spells that make tourists think IN A GREEN WAY. Then we realised who would be great candidate for the post of WITCH AT WOOKEY HOLE CAVES for the summer at least … MISS PIGGOTT! She’s a bit green, can’t afford a holiday this year and needs somewhere to live … and, as Angus rightly pointed out … she is good at spelling! His idea of a joke.
