A long time ago, here lived a witch in a humble house. One morning, one of the witch's friendscame over to visit. When she looked around the room, she said. "Your house is ugly. My house is
beautiful and the walls are bright." The witch as very angry when
she heard this and she shouted, "Get out
of my house and don't ever come back again!"
After her friend left, the witch looked round her house and realized that her friend was right. She
had to repaint the house. Then, she went to a shop and bought a can of paint. After lunch, she started to
paint and worked very hard. In the afternoon, she finished the lower part of her house. When she was
about to pint the upper part, she realized that she could not reach it. Then she came up with an idea. “I
will use my magical broom! Turn into a paintbrush and paint my wall!" the witch instructed her broom.

A Dying Planet
Songby : Joe Walsh
Is anyone out there?
Does anybody listen or care anymore?
We are living on a dying planet,
We're killing everything that's alive,
And anyone who tries to deny it
Wears a tic
And gets paid to lie
So I wrote these songs for a dying planet,
