And long ginger hair which she wore in a plait.

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned
As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind.

Woo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha!
Pow!
Squawk! Squawk!
Ha-ha! Woo-hoo!
Sniff, sniff, sniff, SNIFF!

But how the witch wailed and how the cat spat
When the wind blew so wildly it blew off the hat!

BRAKES SCREECHING

They searched for the hat...

(As the witch pulled the hat firmly down on her head)
I am a dog, as keen as can be...
Ooh!

Gasp!
Is there room on the broom For a dog like me?
Oh!
- Squeak! - Hm.
Aw...
- Yes! - Cried the witch...

The witch tapped the broomstick...
METAL CLATTERING

Over the fields and the forests they flew.
Ooh!
- Ooh! - Rargh! Hmm.
The dog wagged his tail and the stormy wind blew.
Hmm... Oh!
Hm!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
The witch laughed aloud and held on to her hat.
But away blew the bow from her long ginger plait.
Gasp!
- Down! - Cried the witch and they flew to the ground.

Oh-ha-ha-ha...
SQUAWK! SQUAWK!
Then out from a tree with an ear-splitting shriek
There flapped a green bird with the bow in her beak.
She dropped it politely and bent her head low
Then said, as the witch tied her plait in a bow...
Ahem. I...
Ahem. I am a bird as green as can be.
SQUEAK!
Argh!
- Er... - Urgh!
Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!

They shot through the sky to the back of beyond.
Woo-hoo-hoo!

Then all of a sudden from out of a pond
- Leapt a dripping wet frog... - Ribbit!
..with a dripping wet wand.
Gasp!
He dropped it politely then said with a croak
(As the witch dried the wand on a fold of her cloak)
I am a frog...

The frog jumped for joy...
Ribbit!
..and the broom snapped in two!
- Argh! - Argh!
Down fell the cat and the dog and the frog.
Down they went tumbling into a bog.
Ooh!
The witch's half broomstick flew into a cloud
And the witch heard a roar that was scary and loud.
RO-O-O-A-A-AR!
I am a dragon as mean as can be...
..and I'm planning to have witch and chips for my tea.

The dragon flew after her, breathing out fire!

Gr-r-r-r-r.
She looked all around...

..but no help could be found.
The dragon drew nearer and licking his lips said...
Mmm. Maybe this once...
..I'll have witch without chips. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Sniff, sniff, sniff. Ah!
But just as he planned to begin on his feast...
LIQUID BUBBLING
MORE BUBBLING
From out of a ditch rose a horrible beast!
- RARGH! - Oh.
It was tall, dark and sticky and feathered and furred
It had four frightful heads, it had wings like a bird.
GULP!
And its terrible voice when it started to speak
Was a yowl and a growl and a croak and a shriek!
SQUAWK!
It dripped and it squelched as it strode from the ditch.
RRGH!
And it said to the dragon...
BUZZ OFF!
- THAT'S - MY - WITCH!
The dragon drew back and he started to shake.
- Oh, erm...sorry. - He spluttered,
I made a mistake!
It's nice to have met you but now I must fly.
And he spread out his wings...
SQUAWK!
..and was off through the sky.
Then down flew the bird and down jumped the frog.
Urgh!
- Down climbed the cat and... - Phew! - ..said the dog.
Ha!
Ribbit!
Oh! Ha-ha!
- And... - Thank you! Oh, thank you.
..the grateful witch cried.
Purr.
Without you, I'd be in that dragon's inside.
Ah.
Purr.
- Mmm! - Oh! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Hmm.
WATER SPLASHING

TING!
Sniff! Mmm.
Meow.
Oh!
- Then she filled up her cauldron... - POPPING AND CRACKLING
..and said with a grin,
Find something.
Everyone, throw something in!
So the frog found a lily, the cat found a cone.
The bird found a twig and the dog found a bone.
POPPING AND CRACKLING
They threw them all in.
Sniff!
POPPING AND CRACKLING
And the witch stirred them well
And while she was stirring she muttered a spell.
Iggety...ziggety...zaggety...
..ZOOM!
FIZZING
Then out rose...
..a truly magnificent broom
With seats for the witch and the cat and the dog
A nest for the bird and a shower for the frog.
- YES! - Cried the witch
and they all clambered on.
- Rrgh! - Purr!
Mmm!
Splosh!
Ah!
The witch tapped the broomstick...
TING!
WATER TRICKLING
Squawk!
Hm!
..and WHOOSH!
They were gone.
