Room on the Broom
By Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
wow
The witch had a catand a very tall hat,And long ginger hair which she wore in a plait.How the cat purred and how the witch grinned,As they sat on their broomstickand flew through the wind.But how the witch wailed and how the cat spat, When the wind blew so wildly it blew off the hat.
Then out of the bushes on thundering pawsThere bounded a dog with the hat in his jaws.
"Down!" cried the witch,and they flew to the ground.They searched for the hatbut no hat could be found.
He dropped it politelythen eagerly said(As the witch pulled the hatfirmly down on her head), "I am a dog, as keen as can be. Is there room on the broomfor a dog like me?"
"Yes!" cried the with,nd the dog clambered on.The witch tapped the broomstick andWHOOSH!they were gone.
Over the fields and the forests they flew.The dog wagged his tailand the stormy wind blew.The witch laughed aloudand held onto her hat,But away blew the bow from her long ginger plait!
"Down!" cried the witch,and they flew to the ground.They searched for the bowbut no bow could be found.
Then out from a tree, with an ear-splitting shriek,There flapped a green birdwith the bow in her beak.She dropped it politelyand bent her head low,The said (as the witch tied her plait in a bow),"I am a bird, as green as can be.Is there room on the broom for a bird like me?"
"Yes!" cried the witch,so the bird fluttered on.The witch tapped the broomstick and WHOOSH! they were gone.
Over the reeds and the rivers they flew.The bird shrieked with gleeand the stormy wind blew.They shot through the skyto the back of beyond.The witch clutched her bowbut let go of her wand.
"Down!" cried the witch,and they flew to the ground.They searched for the wandbut no wand could be found.
Then all of a suddenfrom out of a pondLeapt a dripping wet frogwith a dripping wet wand.He dropped it politely,then said with a croak(As the witch dried the wandon a fold of her cloak),"I am a frog, as clean as can be. Is there room on the broom for a frog like me?""Yes!" said the witch, so the frog bounded on.
The witch tapped the broomstick and WHOOSH! they were gone.Over the moors and the mountains they flew.The frog jumped for joy and...
...THE BROOMSNAPPED IN TWO!Down fell the cat and the dogand the frog.Down they went tumblinginto a bog.The witch's half-broomstickflew into a cloud,And the witch heard a roarthat was scary and loud...
"I am a dragon, as mean as can be,And I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea!""No!" cried the witch, flying higher and higher.The dragon flew after her,breathing out fire.
But just as he plannedto begin on his feast,From out of a ditch rose a horrible beast.It was tall, dark and sticky,and feathered and furred.It had four frightful heads,it had wings like a bird.And it terrible voice,when it started to speak,Was a yowl and a growland a croak and a shriek.It dripped and it squelched as it strode from the ditch,And it sid to the dragon ,"Buzz off! - THAT'S MY WITCH!"
The dragon drew backand he started to shake."I'm sorry!" he spluttered."I made a mistake.It's nice to have met you,but now I must fly."And he spread out his wings and was off through the sky.
"I am a dragon, as mean as can be,And I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea!""No!" cried the witch, flying higher and higher.The dragon flew after her,breathing out fire.
Then down flew the birdand down jumped the frog.Down climbed the cat, and "Phew!" said the dog.And, "Thank you, oh, thank you!" the grateful witch cried."Without you I'd be in that dragon's inside."
Then she filled up her cauldronand said with a grin,"Find something, everyone,throw something in!"So the frog found a lily,the cat found a cone,The bird found a twigand the dog found a bone.
They threw them all inand the witch stirred them well,And while she was stirringshe muttered a spell."Iggety, ziggety, zaggety, ZOOM!"Then out rose...
...TRULY MAGNIFICENT BROOM!With seats for the witchand the cat and the dog,A nest for the bird and a shower for the frog."Yes!" cried the witch,and they all cambered on.The witch tapped the broomstick and WHOOSH!they were gone.
