Once upon a time there was a quiet young witch named 

Morgan. She lived in a old abandoned castle in the 

middle of the deep, dark woods.   Morgan was a very 

talented witch who loved making potions and casting 

spells, but she was very lonely.

No one from the near-by village knew Morgan because 

they were all too scared to venture into woods alone. So 

Morgan spent her days searching the woods for the 

ingredients of her potions and spent her evenings 

studying her spell book in hopes of finding a recipe that 

would help her make friends.

It was a bright afternoon when Morgan was walking through 

the woods that she came across a young hunter. 

“Who are you and what are you doing in these woods?” She 

asked

“I’m Grayson and I am hunting in order to bring some meat to 

the halloween feast” replied the brave young man. “What are 

you doing?”

“I am looking for ingredients to make a friend potion so I can 

make some new friends.” Morgana answered shyly.

“Oh I know exactly what you need!!” Grayson exclaimed with a 

twinkle in his eye. “And I will show you where everything is if 

you promise to share your potion with me and my friends!”

Morgan agreed excitedly.

“First you will need some carrots, about three 

bushels worth”

Morgan thought hard but did not know what a 

bushel was “How many carrots are in a bushel?”

“Three! You need three bushels of three carrots” 

Grayson answered as he nibbled on a carrot he just 

picked.

“Next you will need 3 pairs of turnips”

Morgan knew that there are two in a pair so she 

started to pick enough turnips. “These seem like 

some odd ingredients, I usually use rabbit ears and 

frog tongues!”

“No wonder your spells haven’t worked yet!" 

Grayson said with a look of disgust, "Now we need 

some celery about 4 hearts of 7 stems.”

Morgan picked the celery happy to have some 

company but wondering how powerful the potion 

would be without any frog tongues.

“Now that we have all the ingredients lets go to my 

cottage and make the potion!” Grayson laughed.

After cutting up all the ingredients and placing 

them in a large pot of boiling water Morgan asked 

“So what are the magic words? What spell are we 

supposed to say?”

Grayson replied “The magic words are very 

common but have to be said not until the 

ingredients are all cooked and the potion is about 

to be served. Don’t worry I’ll teach you the words 

then”
