During the spooky winter holidays, a new family came to stay in our building next door. It was the Addams family. Nothing was normal in our apartment after they moved in. Electricity would fluctuate and we would hear cries of cats and dogs in the middle of the night. I decided to look into the matter and got ready with my binoculars one night. As I peeked out of my window, I saw Mrs Addams’ daughter, Wednesday, holding a dead rabbit in her hands, while Mrs Addams moved her fingers while murmuring something unintelligible. Suddenly, the rabbit came to life.

They were witches, I was appalled. They lived next door what if she did something to me and my family? What if she turned me into a rat? I was terrified. Somehow a week passed, and then, Mrs Addams came to my house. I was trembling. She asked me my name and I stuttered,” R-R-R- Richa!” She asked, “Can I get little tea leaves? I am out of it. ” I wondered if a witch could run out of something. The next day, Wednesday came into my classroom and sat next to me. Sweat trickled down my forehead. I tried to distance myself from her as much as I could but she kept approaching me for every little thing. I certainly was in hot water.

One morning after a few days, my pet dog ran out of the house. I looked for it everywhere but could not find it. Wednesday saw me bewildered and joined me in the search. She easily brought my pet to me. I should be happy but I got angry and yelled, “I don’t need your help you are a witch your mother is a witch. Just leave me and my family alone!” Wednesday seemed hurt because of my words. She yelled, “Yes, we are witches but we’ve never hurt anyone. We’re good witches.” She then left me alone. Even at school, she didn’t talk to me. That night I realized I was wrong to judge Wednesday and her mother so I decided to apologize.

The next day, Wednesday did not come to school so I went to her house but to my surprise her house was empty There was no one nor was there any furniture They left the house. Tears rolled down my eyes.
