Katie and the Magician of Morocco.

Hello, this is Natasha.

And I'm here with a story about Katie the Ordinary Witch,

which is a little bit different from the others so far.

It wasn't that often that Katie's mum said,

I've got some good news, darling.

But that's just the phrase that came tripping off her lips when she met her at the school gate.

They had to hurry to the car because she had parked on the yellow line

and had left the shop closed when she came to pick up Katie.

It was only when they were on their way that she revealed the details.

We're going on holiday to Morocco.

That's wonderful, said Katie.

And then, how can we afford it?

Because a rich and famous witch came into the shop and asked me to find her a flying carpet.

She is paying for us to go to Marrakesh for a few days to look for one.

Oh, Mum! exclaimed Katie.

I dreamed that something good like that would happen to her soon.

And we can find some other magical things for the shop while we are there,

continued her mum with excitement that was unusual for her. Marrakesh is the magical capital of the world.

Of course, the magic shops are secret.

We'll have to find somebody to help us.

But I'm sure it won't be too hard after all we are witches two weeks later
