Once there was a very old witch who lived by herself in a little shack at the top of a hill. In her youth she had been quite a sight to see, smiting and blighting and turning peoples children into rodents. But now she was older and there had been four live-action Chipmunk movies and that was a cruel enough thing to inflict on children. The very old witch was very old; she had seen humans do a lot of cruel things to each other and now she didn't know what else she could do to the world anymore. So the very old witch passed her time quietly, rocking in her wicker chair on the front porch, glaring at passersby.
