Titchy-witch and the Wobbly Fang

Titchy-Witch had a wobbly fang.

It Wibble-wobbled all the time and she didn’t like it .

“Yuk!”

“Leave it alone,”?said Cat-a-bogus.

?“?It will come out when it’s good and ready. ”

But Titchy-witch couldn’t wait for that.

She and Dido tried to pull it out.

Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurts!

But the fang just wasn’t ready.

Titchy-witch wanted a spell to make it fall out.

But Dad was busy in his workshop...

It’s nearly ready!

...and Mum said,

?“?What would the Fang Fairy say? ”

Titchy-witch didn’t know about the Fang Fairy.

“When a fang comes out ,”?

Witchy-witch told her,

“?you put it under youe pillow.

Then,?if you’re good, the Fang Fairy brings you a surprise. ”

Titchy-witch loved surprises.

She wanted hers this minute.

She decided to make a spell of her own.

“Come on, Dido, ”?she said.

“?This should be easy-breezy. ”

As soon as Mum was out of the way,

she borrowed a few magic ingredients.

“?Wasp’s sting,?beetle’s wing,

Dragon’s egg,?lizard’s leg,

Monkey’s tail ,?slime of a snail,

Prickly thorn,?unicorn’s horn...”

Titchy-witch thought that should be enough.

Easy-breezy!

Dido thought it might be too much!

Then she said some special magic words”

“?Hocus pocus,

Bim Bala bang!

Please pull out...”

Titchy-witch was about to say,?“this wobbly fang. ”

But she had an even better idea.

Mum said the Fang Fairy would bring one surprise present for each of her fangs.

How many presents would she bring for all her fangs?

Titchy-witch started again:

“?Hocus pocus,

Bim Bala Bang,

Please pull out all my fangs...”

Clitter, clatter, clitter, clatter.

A whole set of little fangs fell out and rolled round the kitchen floor.

Titchy-witch looked a bit funny with no fangs.

Dido thought she looked a bit scary.

But Titchy-witch wasn’t too worried...

...until Cat-a-bogus called her for tea.

It was hard eating termites on toast without any fangs.

Titchy-witch was keeping very quiet too.

The cat soon knew something was wrong.

Open wide!

Cat-a-bogus was mad. In fact ,?he was furious.

I want all of them!

He made Titchy-witch empty her pockets.

Then the cat made some magic of his own.

Most of the fangs went back.

All except one,?which wibble-wobbled a bit.

Then it kept on falling out.

It’s ready!

Next day, Titchy-witch found a shiny silver slovrin under her pillow. That would buy lots of chocolate grobblies.

And she still had lots more fangs to go.

Yum yum!
