The Story:
Once upon a time, there lived a grumpy old WITCH. She lived in an old cottage in the woods with her CAT, Whiskers. Whiskers was a grumpy CAT too! One night in October, the WITCH decided to make a stew. She took out her old black POT and set the fire glowing. The WITCH took out her cookbook, "101 Recipes to Bubble and Boil". What kind of stew should she make? Should she make Hot Dogs and French Flies? Macaroni and Fleas? Hamboogers and Potato lips? Maybe Frogs Heads in Pond Scum?
Just as she was reading the recipe for Slimy Stinky Stew, there was a knock on the DOOR. Well, nobody ever knocked on the WITCHes DOOR! Who could it be? The WITCH peeked out her window and saw a GHOST, a MONSTER, and a WEREWOLF! Well, well, thought the WITCH, it's a party! She got so excited that she stepped on the CAT's tail. The CAT, of course, got even more grumpy when this happened! The WITCH opened the DOOR. "Come in, come in," she cackled, "I have just begin to make some stew. Would you like some?"
Well, the GHOST took one look at the toasted spider legs and went even whiter that her sheet! The MONSTER looked at the bubbling eyeballs and groaned when she held her tummy. The WEREWOLF smelled the fried bat wings and made all of her hair stand up straight! The WITCH was very upset that her guests did not want to share her marvelous stew! She flung open her DOOR and told the MONSTER, the GHOST, and the WEREWOLF to leave. Well, the WITCH got a big surprise when she opened the DOOR. Outside of her cottage was a big group of MONSTERs, princesses, trolls, and superheroes, all coming to her DOOR. "Trick or treat!" they yelled. Well, the grumpy old WITCH was so frightened that she picked up her CAT, packed up her POT, and flew out the back DOOR on her broom. And she was never seen again!
