The story is about a witch who gains companions (a dog, bird, frog) who each help her in exchange for a ride on her broom. However, their combined weight eventually causes the broom to break, leaving them in danger from a dragon, until a monster scares the dragon away.
Each animal finds an item the witch has lost and politely returns it, then asks to join her group in exchange for a ride on the broom. She agrees each time.
The combined weight of the witch, dog, bird, frog, and cat eventually causes the broom to snap in two, sending them all tumbling into a bog.
Room on the Broom
"Down!"cried the witch, and
they flew to the ground. They searched for the hat
but no hat could be found.
Then out of the bushes
on thundering paws There bounded a dog with the hat in his jaws. He dropped it politely, then eagerly said (As the witch pulled the hat firmly down on her head), "I am a dog, as keen as can be. ls there room on the broom for a dog like me?"
"Yes!" cried the witch,
and the dog clambered on. The witch tapped the broomstick and whoosh!they were gone. l Then out from a tree, w ith an ear- splitting shriek, there Happed a green bird with the bow in her beak. She dropped it politely and bent her head low,
"Down!" cried the witch,
and they flew to the ground. They searched for the bow but no bow could be found. Then said (as the witch tied her plait in a bow), "I am a bird, as green as can be. Is there room on the broom for a bird like me?"
"Yes!" cried the witch,
so the bird fluttered on.
The witch tapped the broomstick and
whoosh! they were gone. Over the reeds and the rivers they flew. The bird shrieked with glee and the stormy wind blew. They shot through the sky to the hack of beyond. The witch clutched her bow but let go of her wand.
"Down!" cried the witch, and they flew
to the ground. They searched for the
wand but no wand could be found.
Then al l of a sudden from ou1 0f a pond Leapt a dripping wet frog - with a dripping wet wand. He dropped it politely, then said with a croak (As the witch dried the wand on a fol d of her cloak), "I am a frog, as cl ean as can be. Is there room on the broom for a frog l ike me?" "Yes!" said the witch, so the frog
bounded on.
The witch tapped the broomstick and
whoosh! they were gone. Over the moors and the mountains they flew. The frog jumped for joy and ... THE BROOM SNAPPED IN TWO! Down fell the cat and the dog and the frog. Down they went tumbling into a bog.
The witch's half-broomstick
flew into a cloud, And the witch heard a roar that was scary and loud ... "I am a dragon, as mean as can be, And I'm planning to have WITCH AND CHIPS for my tea!" "No!" cried the witch, flying higher and higher. The dragon flew after her, breathing out fire. "Help!" cried the witch, flying down to the ground. She looked all around but no help could be found.
The dragon drew nearer and,
licking his lips, Said, "Maybe this once I'll have witch without chips" But just as he planned to begin on his feast, From out of a ditch rose a horrible beast. It was tall, dark and sticky, and feathered and furred. It had four frightful heads, it had wings like a bird. And its terrible voice, when it started to speak, Was a yowl and a growl and a croak and a shriek. It dripped and it squelched as it strode from the ditch, And it said to the dragon, "Buzz off! - THAT'S MY WITCH!" The drago n drew back and he started to shake. "I'm sorry!" he spluttered. "I made a mistake. It's nice to have met you, but now I must fly." And he spread out his wings and was off through the sky.
Then down flew the bird
and down jumped the frog. Down climbed the cat, and "Phew!" said the dog. And, "Thank you, oh, thank you!" the grateful witch cried. "Without you I'd be in that dragon's inside." Then she filled u p her cau ldron and said with a grin, "Find something, everyone, throw something in!" So the frog fou nd a lily,
