Wobbly Witch sat in her rocking chair talking to her cat Kiki. She was called Wobbly Witch because she wobbled everywhere she went, but she never fell down. She was round and had grey hair with a hairnet firmly placed on it. She nearly always wore her pointy hat everywhere, even in doors. Her black stockings only just showed when she began to wobble; her green and black printed dress did nothing to hide her enormous size. Kiki her car looked like an ancient Egyptian, with large point ears and stripes of all colours all over him. Kiki purred as Wobbly Witch talked to him.
‘It’s time we had a holiday Kiki.’ She said, ‘but we haven’t any money.’ She rocked some more whilst she thought about it, Kiki had curled up into a ball on her lap and was purring loudly, very contented. She stopped rocking so suddenly as the idea struck her that Kiki shot off her lap and landed in a heap on the floor the other side of the room.
‘Meeow!’ growled Kiki as he got up; shaking himself gingerly he asked ‘What did you do that for?’
‘Sorry Kiki, did I hurt you? Sorry!’ but her mind was already working on her idea and she dismissed Kiki’s mishap.
‘We shall go and see Murky Mud and ask for some money.’ She nodded her head so violently her black hairnet which was covering her wispy grey hair, nearly fell off her head.
‘Meoow, are you sure?’ asked Kiki.
‘Oh yes. Murky Mud, he’ll help.’
‘Meoow, but he’s not very nice.’ Said Kiki looking worried.
‘But he’ll help, I’m sure of that.’ That was that, Wobbly Witch had made up her mind. Although she was scared of him there was no option but to go and see him.
