The witch looked out her window and they then were there again,people walking by her house always pointing and staring,saying thats the house the witch lives in,don't go there she'll eat you.

Being a witch then too  does have advantages one being privacy the other is instead of tv dinners and frozen foods the witch ate human flesh, but to get the human flesh she had to capture a human, so she thought the next one that passes would be turned into a gnome she had a garden,by trait she only ate fruits and vegetables but she too wanted to keep the legacy of being a witch intact .

So then too four people walk by the next day and she put a curse on them whoever passed by her house from now on becomes a gnome and thats how wooden gnomes became,not by any wood carver or artists but by the witch,she figured those she didn't eat she sell and became rich doing it, whenever she was ask how she made them she wasn't about to tell anyone the truth,she lied .

' I use magic,' she then would tell them and they understand,so whenever you see any gnomes at house in yards or on a shelf in some store they too were invented by the witch and one day when you pass a lonely house at the end of a street you been warned and talk to a gnome one of them by answer back to you .

end .
