THE WITCHES BY ROALD DAHL

How to recognise a witch?

Here are some signs of witches: One way to find a witch is they always wear gloves to hide their fingers. Another way is they are bald and wear wigs to cover their head and they always scratch their head! They also wear high heels but have square feet. They stalk and hate kids. A witch kills one child a week!

Remember witches are always women! They could be any woman! They put that recipe in sweets in candy stores or on the streets. IF YOU FIND A WITCH KILL IT IMMEDIATELY!!!!
