Here's Nancy Demas Walgamuth. I think most of us are familiar with CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia,

and I especially love that the story The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. You may have read the book, you may have seen the movie.

And you remember that scene where Edmund stumbles into Narnia through the wardrobe and

he ends up lost and alone in a cold snowy forest.

And then all of a sudden he hears the sound of bells in the distance.

And soon around the corner comes a sleigh.

And sitting on top of that sleigh is who?

The white witch.

And the white witch pulls over.

She stops to talk to Edmund, and as she does she remembers this ancient prophecy

that her reign and her life will be over when two sons of Adam and two daughters

of Eve

sit enthroned at Care Paravale. So pretending to be friendly, she invites Edmond to join her in her sleigh and she

asks him if he'd like something to eat.

Edmond requests Turkish delight, which she

magically produces. What Edmund doesn't know is that the Turkish delight is

enchanted and whoever tastes it is going to want more and more.

They won't be satisfied with just a little bit.

So the witch promises to give him more candy

if he'll bring his sisters and brother to her house.

She also offers to make Edmund a prince and tells him that someday when she is gone,

he will be the king.
