Wanda Witch’s Win-Win
“Oh, my,” wailed Wanda Witch. “These cobwebs make my house look haunted!”
Wanda swept until her abode was spotless. The next morning, the webs reappeared. Was it a trick?
Wanda sprayed magic web-away potion. Spiders skedaddled, but mosquitoes started biting.
While taking a walk, Wanda encountered an eight-legged friend. “What’s happening?” she asked.
“You ruined my friends’ mosquito-catching nets,” replied the spider.
“Let’s make a deal,” said Wanda. “Your friends can catch my mosquitoes if they help me decorate.”
The spiders wove welcome signs. Every trick-or-treater oohed and aahed over Wanda’s cobweb decorations. And the spiders were happy and full.
Something tells me that the mosquitoes are the losers in this story, LOL. Good luck!
