Meets a Wizard
It was a lovely sunny day, so Bouncey the Elf decided to go for a walk. He went to find his backpack and put in a bottle of pop and a pack of biscuits.
He then set off into the forest with a bouncy walk, along the banks of the River of Dreams, singing a song to himself.
He was just wandered around when he saw a blue and red bird he had never seen before. It seemed very tame.
Suddenly, Bouncey heard a grunting sound in the bushes. It was a wild boar.
Bouncey was not scared, just curious, so he began to follow it.
The wild boar went here, there and everywhere. This way and that way, up tracks Bouncey had never seen before. He was really enjoying himself - until he realised he was lost.
‘Oh no!’ he said in a worried voice. ‘It always happens to me.’
He was standing still, wondering what to do next, when he heard a strange noise - a whooshing - sound.
He looked up the path, and saw a big hill and what appeared to be the entrance of a cave. So he crept slowly towards it.
Bending low, he crept towards a big rock resting by a big tree and keeping as quiet as he could, looked into the cave and saw the strangest person.
He was tall, dressed in long dark robes with a tall pointed hat, patterned with stars. He had a long, straggling grey beard, pointed nose and crooked fingers, which held a wand over a bubbling cauldron.
‘This must be the Wizard’s cave,’ Bouncey said excitedly to himself.
Kneeling behind the rock opposite to the entrance to the cave, he watched curiously as the Wizard threw something into the cauldron.
The Wizard then started to wave his wand again and - whoosh - a big puff of smoke came from the cauldron.
The sparks from the fire flew out all over the cave - some of them even found their way to the entrance, not far from where Bouncey was hiding.
He moved away hurriedly to avoid some of them.
The Wizard noticed his movement. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out sharply, looking round with glaring eyes.
Then he pointed towards Bouncey with a bony finger. ‘Come here,’ he said in a stern voice.
Bouncey crept forward, shivering with fright.
‘Who are you?’ The Wizard asked loudly.
‘I - I - I’m Bouncey the Elf,’ stuttered poor Bouncey.
‘Why are you spying on me,’ demanded the Wizard. ‘I usually turn spies into frogs or toads.’
‘I wasn’t spying - honest,’ protested Bouncy in a trembling voice. ‘I just came upon you by accident and was curious - please don’t turn me into a frog.’
‘Go and sit over there. I’ll deal with you in a minute,’ ordered the Wizard.
He pointed to a stool in the far corner of the cave.
Bouncey went and sat down, wishing all the time he had acted more sensibly and not played chasing games with a wild boar.
The Wizard waved his wand over the cauldron again - there was another - whoosh - smoke and more sparks.
‘U’m - that’s finished now,’ said the Wizard, taking the cauldron off the fire.
He turned to Bouncey. ‘I won’t be long. Don’t touch anything.’
There was a little door at the back of the cave and the Wizard unlocked it and went through to the next room.
Bouncey looked around the cave. It was full of jars - stacked on stone shelves carved into the rock. Inside the jars were things like bat’s wings and snake’s eyes - lots of the most horrible things you can imagine.
He was too scared to move.
The Wizard soon came back with a little jug in his hand.
He dipped it into the bubbling cauldron, took a sip - and immediately disappeared.
Bouncey couldn’t believe his eyes
There was a chuckle and with a snap of fingers, the Wizard reappeared.
‘That’s marvellous!’ cried Bouncey, forgetting his terror.
‘Oh! Just one of my little spells,’ said the Wizard, a little more kindly.
‘I’m going to a Wizard’s party and this is what I’ll be taking.’
‘Is it far away?’ asked Bouncey.
'It will take me a good week travelling on my magic carpet’ answered the Wizard.
Bouncey’s eyes opened even wider at the other mention of a magic carpet
By now the Wizard seemed quite friendly and he asked Bouncey if he would like something to eat.
He left the little jug on the table, went out to the room and came back with a delicious-looking piece of chocolate cake and a glass of ginger beer.
‘Here you are,’ said the Wizard. ‘It’s been quite nice to have some company. It gets a little lonely here sometimes,’ he said sadly.
Then the Wizard smiled and said. ‘I don’t really change people into frogs and toads you know.’
Bouncey gave a nervous little laugh and then relaxed and enjoyed his cake and ginger beer.
‘I’d better be off now,’ said the Wizard, looking at his pet owl, which had just given two loud hoots.
He took out a key and locked the little door at the back of the cave. Then he poured the now cooled contents of the cauldron into a large green jar and jammed in the stopper.
The Wizard slowly walked to the entrance of the cave and snapped his fingers three times.
The carpet that Bouncey was standing on suddenly started to move.'
‘Wow,' he cried, jumping off it quickly.
The magic carpet moved towards the Wizard, who sat down on it, keeping a tight hold of his magic brew.
‘Bye for now, Bouncey,’ shouted the Wizard, as he and the magic carpet, started flying out of the cave.
