Take it away, Elaine!
Elaine Kaye: Hello, Bertha. It’s nice to talk to you today.
Our readers are very interested in you. The first thing they want to know
is…where do you live?
Bertha, the Witch: I
live in a cabin in a magical forest that no human knows about, with my ten cats
and hundreds of brooms.
Elaine: What are your cats’ names?
Bertha: Puffball, Monkey,
Doodle, Coal, Scratch, Merlin, Casper, Shadow, Jinx, and Onyx.
Elaine: Why do you have so many brooms?
Bertha: Because they're magical,
dear.
Elaine: We know that the broom Gregory and Sammy find can fly them anywhere in the world. Does each one have a special magic?
Bertha: Some are for flying and
some are for cleaning. The cleaning brooms visit people who need their houses
cleaned, like the elderly. And the flying brooms go out every Halloween to give
special individuals one ride. Except one of my brooms befriended a magical
teddy bear, and the two of them go all over.
Elaine: I know just what teddy bear you’re talking
about.
Bertha: How much longer are we
going to be doing this, dear? I have some soup to eat.
Elaine: Speaking of which, was that really pea soup
that Gregory and Sammy saw in your pot?
Bertha: Of course, it was. I
make really good pea soup.
Elaine: What’s all in it?
Bertha: Peas, carrots,
potatoes, onions, but it’s really the dried ants, worms, toadstool, and spiders
that give it flavor and substance. Would you like a taste?
Elaine: Thanks, but I’ll stick to my recipe. It was a
pleasure talking to you, Bertha.
Bertha: You, too, dear.
Goodbye!
