Every morning when Brunhilda woke up, she got out of the wrong side of the bed. ate spider mush for breakfast, Brunhilda admired herself in her magic mirror. She put on her ugliest dress, and brushed her teeth with candy. Then she flew to town. Then she flew to town.
She used her favorite spell to make plenty of trouble. She hopped three times on her left foot and chanted: Lumpy grumpy fly pie stew! Hocus pocus hippity hoppity spew! She was very happy with the results. The next morning when Brunhilda woke up, she found herself upside down in bed. She slid out of the right side of the bed and looked around. Her room seemed different. She went to put on her ugliest dress, but all she could find was a fluffy pink ball gown. The spider mush was gone, so Brunhilda was forced to eat oatmeal! The candy was missing, so Brunhilda had to use tooth paste to brush her teeth. And when she gazed into her magic mirror, she was horrified! All her warts had disappeared! This day was not going well. When she got to town, she saw a boy eating. When she got to town, she saw a boy eating.
Kee hee hee! she cackled. She loved making ice cream fall onto the sidewalk. She hopped three times on her left foot and chanted: Lumpy grumpy fly pie stew! Hocus pocus hippity hoppity spew! She was not happy with the results... but getting a high five wasnt so bad. Brunhilda searched for another way to make trouble.
Then she saw three girls riding their bikes. Kee hee hee! she cackled.
She loved making children fall off their bikes. She hopped three times on her left foot and chanted: Lumpy grumpy fly pie stew! Hocus pocus hippity hoppity spew! She was not happy with the results... but the clapping and cheering were kind of fun. Things were really not going well for Brunhilda. But then she saw... A PLAYGROUND FULL OF CHILDREN! Kee hee hee! she cackled.
Making the playground disappear would certainly cause all the children to cry.
