Hansel and GretelAfter a month in prison, the case of "Hansel and Gretel" is brought to court. I finally have the opportunity to give my testimony and show the judge and everyone that I am not the person people think I am. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen in this courtroom. My name is Mirsella Witchwood, because you all probably know me as the witch who wants to eat little children. That's not who I really am. First of all, I would like to let the court know that I never wanted to be a witch. In fact, I actually wanted to be a doctor, or maybe a fashion designer, or even save some poor abused animals, but no. I come from a family line where every woman becomes a witch. The transformation begins at the age of 16. First, what I hate the most, our skin turns a sickly green color. Then our hair becomes dark like night but during the day it appears like gray hair. Subsequently, ugly warts grow on the nose and face. We are forced to wear black because it is the only color that matches our green skin and dark hair. Eventually our parents can't stand to look at us anymore because they think we're too ugly and an embarrassment to the family, so they send us away to an isolated life in the woods. So please, please!! Don't you dare accuse me of choosing to become a witch because believe me, I never wanted to look green and old at my age. There's one more thing you should all know about my witchcraft. Everyone seems to think witches are ugly, hundred-year-old witches or something. Hey, not me. Maybe I'm not the prettiest girl or anything like that, but the truth is, I'm only 18. Like I said, maybe I'm not very beautiful, but I'm much prettier than the Brothers Grimm described me. Every witch is kicked out of their parents' house... middle of paper... evil story that Hansel and Gretel (or whatever they're called) invented, but I know that the story I just proposed to all of you was actually what happened that day at my house. And that's all I have to say. The court and judge decided that I am innocent and that Hansel and Gretel are the guilty ones in this case. These two children were sent to a military camp to be disciplined and punished for what they had done in my home. A few months later I leave the city. I moved to Far Far Away where my friends Fiona and Shrek left. I got a new haircut and started wearing black modern clothes that make me look and feel younger and prettier. I meet Sir Lancelot, a handsome man who really likes the way I look and loves me as I am. Lancelot and I got married and I can finally say that witches don't always have to be bad. I'm a witch and I finally live happily ever after. The end
