The wicked witch of the singing sands
Once there was a wicked witch who lived across the land of the singing sands. The witch loved to steal children. On a village not far from the witches hut lived a henchman who had 3 sons he was worried that the witch might take his sons.The henchman started not to worry anymore so he made a tree house there only way up and down the tree house was a ladder.
One day, the henchman left his sons at the tree house and said” when I whistle 3 whistles that means you know its me,lower down the ladder then let me come up.” They kept on doing this plan, until one day the witch appeared and said” “Oh hello boys, may I come up on to your tree house?” “It looks simply beautiful can I see it?” But the boys knew what their father said and the witch did not give up, instead of going back home to her hut she hid in the bushes,and waited for the henchman to come home. Evening came and the henchman came home and whistled 3 whistles climbed the ladder. The witch knew what to do and she went home planning. The next morning when the henchman left the house and the witch jumped out of the bushes and whistled 3 whistles, the ladder came down. She climbed up and grabbed the boys to her hut.
When the henchman came home and saw the ladder was down, he was frightened that the witch got his sons. He asked everyone around and they just said, “ no.” “Maybe the witch got them.” He asked the elder man in the village and he said”please help me get my boys back!” The elder man said “beat this golden drum so you can walk on the singing sands and when you get to her hut break her wand then she will die.”
The henchman dressed himself as an old man and went off to the singing sands, beat beat beat went the drum. The henchman reached the witches hut and the witch said “GO GO GO AWAY!”The henchman said” Oh! please, please spare me some food...” when the witch saw the golden drum she wanted it and said” Wait! I have some food for you! They went inside and the witch made the henchman some soup. As she was about to put some poison sprinkles she put her wand next to the cauldron. The henchman saw his chance, he grabbed the wand and snapped it into 2. The witch said“no!” then she turned into dust. He saw his sons and grabbed them tightly and hugged them. They were so happy, they went home and the villagers cheered and clapped.They had a happy life and never had to worry about the witch never ever again!
