Two children, Ben and Jewel, were walking to school one morning when they saw two ugly witches flying by on broomsticks. The witches attacked them with magic, turning a tree into a hamster. Ben and Jewel chased the witches through the park in an effort to catch them. When they finally did, they poured water on the witches from their drink bottles, causing the witches to dissolve into a puddle. The children then continued safely to school, where they wrote stories about their adventure and received an award from their teacher.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

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!

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

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

And remember to walk with the walking school
bus . It is safer than being chased by two ugly
witches!
