Being a bee, it has its ups and downs! Obviously normal bees are always busy but not me, no not at all! All I do is swim in the honey that is in my parents’ house! My parents don't know that I'm here. They think I'm lost. I just wish I could be a human again! Oh sorry you don’t know the story yet i need to tell you about how i became a busy bee! well it all started when a mean, old, evil witch named Amanda Hitch was storming down the abandoned road or should i say swooping down the road on her broomstick. Glaring at me for I was the one who would save her career and probably her life! She was about to lose her warts! And if you don’t have a wart not one single wart you can’t be a witch at all! So she was planning on making a potion that would give her 10 warts! She had Ogres fingers, onion, green soup, poison and one wart but the main ingredient was a boy! She wanted me to be the main ingredient in her potion! I started running as soon I saw that midnight hair, with the purple cloak I knew it was: Amanda Hitch, Amanda Hitch
The evil witch, the evil witch
She kills and she kills
and she poisons with pills
The evil witch
Who is she?
She’s Amanda hitch!
But of course she was too fast with one wave off her wand and the sound of her high pitched evil laugh I was a bee! I have no Idea of why her spell didn’t work maybe it was because her warts where 1 minute from completely vanishing some used to say that if witches are 10 minutes away from losing their witch life they forget how to use their magic! Anyway I was turned into a poor innocent bee! That is now lying in the small jar of honey that was owned by its parents that are humans! It’s okay i am wondering as well, how am I going to become a human again? I do remember hearing someone talking about a potion that helps insects become human. You need onion, honey, grass, a cauldron and milk! Then you mix it and throw yourself in! well I have onion, honey, milk and a caldron, hey don’t forget I am in a kitchen! And I can get grass from the garden! I fly up to the cauldron and as soon I touch it I fall and slam! I broke one of my wings, oh no I can hear mum marching towards me! I throw the ingredients in and mix it then I crawl into it the next thing I know, mum is there flabergastered staring at me with her wide blue eyes. Yeah I think you know what happens next it has something to do with everyone crying and a family reunion! I am now happy and delighted with my family!
