Willow's Wonderful Witchy Ways
Willow's Wonderful Witchy Ways
Willow was a little witch, but she had a big secret. She didn't just keep her magic in a wand or a hat. Willow stored magic everywhere!
- Her shoes held happy magic for skipping.
- Her pockets held quiet magic for listening.
- Her hair held silly magic for making friends laugh.
One day, Willow needed to make a big spell, but she didn't have enough magic. She looked in her shoes, but the happy magic was all used up from her skips to school. She peeked in her pockets, but the quiet magic was helping her listen extra well in class. She reached for her hair, but the silly magic was busy making her friend giggle.
"Oh no!" Willow whispered. "Where will I find more magic?"
Then, Willow saw her book. She opened it up, and the book glowed. The book was full of wonder magic! It sparkled from the pages and filled the room. Willow knew what to do. She used the wonder magic to make the biggest, most wonderful spell ever!
From that day on, Willow learned that magic isn't just in things; it can be found anywhere, even in a book.
