THE MAGIC HEAD BAND
One day Jane went shopping with her mother to
buy some new shoes. When they arrived at the shops Jane saw a bright
orange headband in a shop window. She asked her mother if she could have
the headband but her mother told Jane it was too bright and that she
could not wear it to school.
Jane said she would keep it for best and not wear it to school, they
went into the shop and bought it. When Jane put it on her head
everything was upside down. The people walked on their hands. As soon as
they saw Jane they asked her to wish on the orange headband so that they
could walk on their feet, and that their houses and shops would be the
right way up.
Jane put her hands on the headband and said: ‘I wish.’ Then there was a
big flash of light and everything went the right way up. The people
thanked' her, then everything went dull and all she could hear was her
mother saying: ‘Let’s get your new shoes’.
So Jane took off her headband and replaced it back in the bag the shop
had put it in. When she wanted to wish for something she could put her
headband on. She would go to some very strange places.
