4. Last summer on a hot, still
morning there were two
children walking slowly to
school.
5. Suddenly they saw to
their amazement two
ugly, old witches flying
by on skinny
broomsticks, waving
their wands WILDLY at
them.
6. The two children, Ben and
Jewel couldn’t believe their
eyes.
Were they seeing things?
7. Then they saw a flash of light that
zoomed past them, hit a tree and turn
into a hamster. They were under attack
by the two witches!
8. So they chased the witches.
They ran through the shady, park and
over the small swinging bridge. Their
hearts thumped with fear. They were
breathless and scared and exhausted.
9. When the two children were
chasing the witches they saw
the walking bus go by. Oh no!
10.
11. Jewel and Ben had been watching the
movie the Wizard of Oz in the weekend.
They quickly had an idea.
12. When they caught up to
the breathless witches
they poured water from
their drink bottles over
their heads and the two
witches quickly dissolved
into a giant puddle.
13. Safe at last! The witch attack had
failed.
Then Ben and Jewel
to school, breathless with
excitement!
14. At school they both wrote
about what had happened
with the
15. After the teacher had read their stories
she thought they were so amazing they
got an award.
She did not believe them that it had
really happened.
16. Ben and Jewel though were
determined that tomorrow
they would walk with the
walking bus. No more attacks
for them!
17. They did not want
another chase with two
weird witches!
18. Ruby and Sonya are Year 5 students at Freemans
Bay School. Freemans Bay School is right in the
middle of Auckland City.
Ruby loves art and reading.
Sonya enjoys sport, especially netball.
They hope that you have enjoyed reading their
picture book. Thanks to Judy for her help.
And remember to walk with the walking school
bus . It is safer than being chased by two ugly
witches!
