GREEN CRYSTALS

One day a new neighbour moved in next door to us, that was ok, I had
no problem about that, however I was so upset that my best friend moved
away to another house, in a different city, he doesn't even go to the
same school as I do anymore, when the new people started to move in
next door I saw them carry a small bike in, so I knew there must be a
child moving in.
My mum and myself went and greeted them and made them welcome.
A few day later I saw this child stomping, laughing and being silly on
the lawn.
it was a girl about my age which is eight, I din't talk to her, as I
she didn't see me because I was looking through a small hole in the
fence.
The parents of the little girl asked my mum if she would mind looking
after Jenny, which is her name.
I didn't want her to, but I accepted it, and made her welcome, she said
the cottages across the road opposite where we live,looked very old and
thought that witches and wizards might live there, I told her Mr.
jackson lived there.
She went over the road to look outside the house and I just trailed
behind her.
Then she went into the garden but I just stayed outside, she didn't
come back so I ran
into the garden after her.
The cottage door was already open so she went in to have a look because
it seemed deserted, I followed her in.
She looked at the jars on the shelfs and said that they looked very
suspicious and she thought they might be magic potions.
I said they look like jam jars cos they had labels on them saying,
strawbeeries and blackcurrants.
She said what does this mean, it says witches brew on it, it was like
green herbals, she got a stool and climbed on ot so that she could get
a closer look of the very top shelf, it was very dusty, she swepped all
the dust away which made me start coughing.
She read the notice on the label of a jar on there and it said , "
touch not, smell not, and drink not, she lifted the jar up and the
stool started to wobble, she fell off it and the jar flew out of her
hands and smashed on the floor floor, the contents went all over us, we
ran home and we went our house, we sat down and my mum said will you
get out of this room beacuse I am going to vacuum the floor, I said I
am itchy and my voice started sounding very screechy and funny, it felt
like we was going down in a lift, we started to shrink and we shrank so
much that the wool on the carpet looked like a playground fence, it was
so tall, my mum didn't realise wot had happened to us, we both ran to
the staircase and we skidded and ran into the kitchen because we knew
she would not be vacuuming in there, it had linoleum on the floor. we
could see a little old man the same same as us in there, we got a
fright and ran back inot the living room but my mum had started doing
the vacuuming so we ran back into the kitchen, the little old man said
to us, you will need an owls feather and a leaf off a tree, to make you
cure the problem and reverse the spell, so we ran to the spare room, we
where so small by this time that we were able to fit under the small
gap at the bottom of the door, we got a ruler and ran back to the
stairs and kept makeing bridges all the way to the top so that we could
climb up. we ran through my bedroom door and clambered through the
window, and I jumped out of the window and grabbed some leaves from a
tree that was outside near my room.
we both started getting a bit bigger, we both fell asleep on the lawn
and in the night an Owl came and sat near us on the lawn, I leapt up
and plucked a feather off it and then we both went back to our normal
size again.
