Winnie the Witch looked out of her window and shivered.

Her garden was covered in snow.

Her pond was covered in ice.

“Im tired of winter，” said Winnie.

Wilbur came in through the cat flap.

His feet were wet， and his whiskers were frozen.

Wilbur was tired of winter， too.

Suddenly， Winnie had an idea.

She stopped what she was doing， took down her big book of spells， and read it carefully.

Then she put on her coat， her hat， her snow boots， her gloves， and her scarf.

She picked up her wand and she went outside.

Winnie shut her eyes.

Then she stood on tiptoe， counted to ten， waved her wand five times， and shouted， “ABRACADABRA！”

And something magical happened！

The sun shone brightly. The sky was deep blue. All the snow had disappeared.

It was no longer winter at Winnies house.

It was sunny summer.

Winnie went out in the garden to sit in the sun.

“This is lovely，” said Winnie. “Summer is much nicer.”

And Wilbur lay down in the sun and purred.

The flowers woke up and began to grow.

Up came the leaves， and then the flowers.

But the sun was too hot for them.

Their heads began to droop and the flowers were dying.

Winnie heard a very strange noise ...

Winnie turned around， and there behind her was a great crowd of people.

They were running along the road towards her house.

They took off their coats， their hats， their boots， their gloves， and their scarves.

They sat in the sunshine. They walked on the flowers.

They put orange peel on the grass. They paddled in Winnies pond.

Soon there was no room for Winnie and Wilbur in the garden.

The noise was horrible. The mess was horrible. Winnies lovely summer was horrible.

Winnie was furious.

She waved her wand five times， and shouted， “ABRACADABRA！”

The sun disappeared. The blue sky disappeared. And the snow began to fall.

The people put on their coats， their hats， their boots， their gloves and their scarves， and rushed home.

Winnie and Wilbur went back inside.

Winnie made a cup of hot chocolate and toasted a muffin.

“This is warm and cosy，” said Winnie. “Winter is lovely， too.”
