From the library
The Wicked Witch was so angry when she saw her black bees in little heaps like fine coal that she stamped her foot and tore her hair and gnashed her teeth.
“Why it’s dreadfully wicked to swear,” she said rebukingly.
Oh, it isn’t wicked at all.
We are so grateful to you for having killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and for setting our people free from bondage.”
