Five Wacky Witches
Awhimsical rhymed story about a group of joyful and mischievous witches who go out for a walk in town. They shop and sit in a café almost like ordinary people. However, their witchy, wacky character is expressed through their mischievious playfulness (walking on walls, in and out of a TV screen) and their uninhibited, at times nonsense language. They seem to be enjoying themselves immensely, giggling, singing and breaking all rules. Yet not everything is harmonious: One after the other they are caught in different places—on a rooftop, in a mall, in a café. Eventually the last witch, feeling lonely without her friends, climbs on her broom to rescues all the others. The group diminishes in descending order and re-gathers in a symmetrical ascending one. At the end of a very eventful and tiresome day they return home to prepare a delicious soup of turnips, crocodiles’ tails and a smelly old shoe. Having planned their next adventure they comb their hair, put on their pajamas like wellbehaved girls and fall asleep.
