His wife, Mrs. Witch, was shorter and plumper, with long flowing hair that changed color with her mood. She often wore brightly colored robes and an array of chunky jewelry. Despite their peculiar appearance, Mr. and Mrs. Witch were a kind and benevolent couple. They spent their days brewing potions to heal the sick and casting spells to protect the village from evil forces. The villagers respected them and sought their help whenever they faced problems beyond their comprehension. One gloomy evening, a young boy named Tom stumbled upon the witches' cottage while chasing his lost kite. Tom was a mischievous and adventurous child, always getting into trouble. He had heard tales of the witches but had never encountered them before. Curiosity got the better of Tom, and he cautiously approached the cottage. The door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit room filled with countless jars of colorful liquids and shelves stacked with spell books. Startled, Tom took a step back but inadvertently knocked over a jar, sending a brilliant blue potion cascading onto the floor. Suddenly, the room began to tremble, and a thick cloud of smoke engulfed Tom. When the smoke cleared, Mr. Witch was standing before him, his eyes blazing with anger. However, upon realizing it was just a curious child, his anger quickly dissipated, and he softened his expression.
