Stan settled into life in Milo’s grand house, but he liked to sleep outside in the shed because he had been used to living outside all his life. The meals though, Stan always came in for his meals and he enjoyed sitting with Milo as he ate his dinner and made his business calls. Stan often thought that this would give Milo indigestion, but in truth Milo didn’t eat much and Stan usually finished off his dinner too. The cook didn’t mind as there was always clean plates.
It was one evening when Stan and Milo were sitting at dinner that the butler mouse came in and told them that an old lady was outside and wanted to talk to Milo.
“Sure ” Milo said and went out.
Stan was immediately suspicious , his boss was too trusting. So Stan decided to keep an eye out for him. Which was just as well.
Milo , was totally relaxed when he went to the front door, he opened it expecting to see a nice old lady. Instead he saw a very frightening witch.
She grabbed him with her scrawny hand immediately and threw him out into the street.
You Mouse, you are ruining my business, all my customers are saying they won’t pay me anymore because I’m an Evil Witch, this is your doing! It cannot go on!
“Hey, you, it’s your own fault , you charge too much and you don’t even do a very good job. Our laundry may not be magic, but at least everyone gets clean clothes!” Milo squeaked.
” Fiddlesticks, they get what they’re given and they have to pay!”. The Witch was very angry and began hopping around.”
Stan came around the corner, he’d gone around the back of the shed, he could see Milo in the middle of the road.
The Witch raised her arm and in it she had her magic stick to cast spells with.
Milo stared wondering what kind of spell she would cast.
But Stan came to the rescue, he pounced at the witch and took the magic stick straight out of the witch’s hand. It fell on the ground and broke into two pieces , and each piece burned very brightly.
The Witch looked in horror as her wand began to disintegrate. It meant she had no powers anymore.
“Oh no, you bad dog!” but it was too late, the wand was burning.
Stan ran towards Milo and told him to jump on his back and they both ran into the house as fast as they could.
The Witch was left outside staring at her broken wand. She was very angry but there was nothing she could do . She had lost all her power.
Milo and Stan were safely in the house and knew that they would not hear from the witch again, and that all their customers who used their laundry would also be happy to have gotten rid of the wicked witch. They sat on the sofa together, until it was bedtime and then Milo went up to bed and Stan went out to sleep in the shed.
The End, until next time.
