Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to gather flowers and leaves and make pretend spells. They had a big pot and a wooden spoon. They put the flowers and leaves in the pot and stirred them with the spoon. They said funny words like "abracadabra" and "hocus pocus".
But Tom, the boy next door, did not like their game. He thought it was dull and silly. He wanted to play with his ball and his bike. He came over to the fence and shouted at Sara and Ben.
"Stop playing with that rubbish! You are not real witches or wizards. You are just babies. Come and play with me. I have a cool ball and a fast bike. They are much more fun than your stupid pot and spoon."
Sara and Ben felt sad and angry. They liked their game. They did not want to play with Tom's ball and bike. They thought they were boring and loud. They told Tom to go away and leave them alone.
But Tom did not listen. He climbed over the fence and ran to their pot. He kicked it over and spilled their flowers and leaves. He laughed and said, "There, I broke your spell. Now you have to play with me."
Sara and Ben cried. They were very upset. They had worked hard to gather their flowers and leaves. They had made a beautiful spell. They did not like Tom. He was mean and rude. They wished he would disappear.
Then, something strange happened. A cloud of smoke came out of the pot. It covered Tom and made him cough. He tried to run away, but he tripped and fell. He looked at himself and saw that he had turned into a frog. He croaked and hopped, but he could not change back.
Sara and Ben stopped crying. They looked at each other and smiled. They realized that their spell had worked after all. They had turned Tom into a frog. They felt happy and proud. They picked up their pot and spoon and went to find more flowers and leaves. They decided to make more spells and have more fun. They did not care about Tom's ball and bike. They left him in the garden, hopping and croaking. They hoped he would learn his lesson.
