The Witch's Kitchen
Pretend you're walking up to that house on the corner. It's dark... rumor is the old witch lives there. You know, that old, ancient woman who dresses all in black. She's probably a nice lady, but you know how kids are...
Something skitters in the corner. Then your friend creeps up behind you and yells BOO!
Once your heart stops pounding you go up the creaky stairs...
step by step... and ring the bell.
Silence. Then the old woman calls out...."In here. Come into the kitchen, dearie."
Do you dare?
Somehow you reach out with shaky fingers, pull open the door, and go in... slowly...
You wish it was brighter. Someone is sitting in the kitchen... It's so dark in here...
"Yes, come closer, " the old woman says, her voice creaky. "Hmm, yes, you'll do just fine."
Suddenly, the light flashes brighter. You look at her. She's really old. Maybe it's not so bad. She's just a harmless old lady, right? Your voice wavers as you hold out your bag. "Trick or treat..."
She beckons you closer with a crooked finger and points to the stove.
You turn around and head for the old stove, your uneasiness growing.
Then you see what's cooking -- and begin to scream.
Heh-Heh! Happy Halloween!
This really is a great project, isn't it??
