Children’s Story: Princess Mi-Ah and the Witch

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess.  Her name was Princess Mi-Ah.  Princess Mi-Ah lived in a castle on top of the hill.  The hill was covered with flowers.  Princess Mi-Ah loved flowers…

There were so many strange and interesting things in the Drexa’s shop.  But it made sense, since Drexa was a witch.  Well, mother kept telling Princess Mi-Ah not to call her a witch, but everyone thought of her as one anyway.  After all, Drexa had wild-looking grey, frazzly hair and a giant hook nose with a wart at the end.  And she wore these strange baggy cloaks over her clothes. 

Princess Mi-Ah was examining a set of shiny wishing bells.  “Do you know how those work, Princess Mi-Ah?” asked Drexa.  Princess Mi-Ah shook her head ‘no’.  “Well, for each bell you make a wish.  And then each day you must ring the bell two times – one in the morning when you wake up and one in the evening before you sleep.  Then after thirty days your wish will come true.”

“Oh….  But I have so many wishes to make!  I would need so many bells!”  said Princess Mi-Ah.  Drexa ‘s laugh sounded scary with her scratchy witch-like voice.
