The Witch

"Oh! When would it be completed!" It was the same old sunny day and a witch was building her house with chocolate, "I've been working for days and everytime the chocolate melts! If I do not build a house of chocolate, how will I attract people and eat them?" said the witch. A bird came flying and said, "You should make your house at a cool place, under the shade of trees. Here, the sun is overhead, fool!" The witch thought it was a good idea and went to a cooler place.

"At last! My house is complete. Now all I have to do is wait for children to get attracted by this chocolate's smell," said the witch. Few days went by. The witch kept peeping out of the window. One bright sunny day, two children stopped in front of the house. The witch, who was looking at them through the window, waited eagerly for the children to eat her house. But the children talked for sometime and went away. The witch hurried out of the door and called the children, "Children! Look at my house. It is entirely made of chocolate. Don't you want to eat it?" "No, thanks," replied the boy, "We are going to eat fruits." The witch did not lose hope. She said, "I made this house myself! Why eat boring fruits when a house made of chocolate is in front of you?" "No" replied the girl, "You've done a good job by making this house but me and my brother are restricted from eating chocolate." "Yes!" said the boy, "Last time I ate so much chocolate and I had a terrible toothache. So we are not going to eat your house. We will eat only fruits." The girl and boy went away.

The witch was left alone. She said to herself, "Next time I will make a house of fruits." Saying this, she started collecting fruits and vegetables.
