this is a really sweet story called "humbug witch"
"all of her was very little!! except her nose that was very BIG"
and the story continues describing all the characters of a witch followed by "and she took of her funny looking black shoes with gold buckles"
and so on then finishes with (as pictured) "she took off her mask....and went to bed"
