THE LITTLE WITCH-DOG

There was once upon a time a little puppy who bought by a witch.He was black and white, fat and very merry. But he hadn't lived long with the witch before he became thin and sorrowful.
The Pernickety Witch had bought him tu guard her cottage from the goblins, trolls and the dwarfs who very often came to steal her spells. Now the puppy, to whom the witch gave the ugly, made terrifying noises whenever he appeared, and shouted that they would turn him into a dog-biscuit and throw him to the birds.
