Huff Puff the Wizard
There was great excitement at Green Hills Primary School because a magic show was going to be held by Huff Puff, the vanishing wizard. All of the kids at the school were very excited.
Huff Puff stepped onto the stage. He had a long, black cloak covered with bright, sparkly stars. He had very dark, blue eyes and a long, white beard.
“Good morning children,” he shouted. “I am Huff Puff, the vanishing wizard. Welcome to my show!”
With that, he huffed and he puffed and, right before the crowd, a
bright red, magic carpet came flying in. “Who would like a ride?” he shouted.
All of the kids shouted, “Me, me, me…”
But Huff Puff just laughed and jumped onto the carpet. With a clap of his hands, he and the magic carpet vanished. Everyone then heard the wizard’s voice say, “The show is now over! Thank you
for coming!”
