Pumpkin Stories

The 3 Witches
By Alejandra

Once upon a time there was a witch named Cearry and two more witches who wanted to steal a little girl. There was a good wolf.  It was Halloween.  A little girl saw the three witches and then the little girl ran to her home.  The wolf saw the witches and it was almost afternoon.  So they left the next day.  The little girl said, “I don’t want to trick or treat anymore alone.”  It was night.  The witches came back and so did the wolf.  It was the last day of fighting and when it was almost afternoon the wolf won because he used medicine to make them go to sleep.
