Once upon a time there were three little witches.

Each little witch made herself a demesne. The first made hers out of straw, the second out of sticks, and the third made hers out of bricks.

But then, along came the Big Bad Wolf. She marched up to the demesne made of straw, and called out:

"Little witch, little witch, let me in!"

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" said the witch.

"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" said the Wolf. And so she did, and the demesne was nothing more than a little pile of straw. The little witch ran off to the demesne made of sticks, with the Wolf in hot pursuit.

When the Wolf arrived at the demesne made of sticks, she called out:

"Little witch, little witch, let me in!"

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" said the first witch.

"You don't have hair on your chin," said the second witch.

"I have fur on my chin sometimes, it counts," said the first witch.

"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" said the Wolf. And so she did, and the demesne was reduced to a little pile of sticks. The two little witches ran off to the demesne made of bricks, and again the Wolf followed in hot pursuit.

When the Wolf arrived at the demesne made of bricks, she called out:

"Little witch, little witch, let me in!"

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!" said the first witch. The second and third witches exchanged glances.

"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" said the Wolf.

A little girl looked out of one of the windows of the house and said, "If you try to blow the house down, you won't regret it!"

"That's the plan," said the Wolf. And she huffed, and she puffed, and she blew--but the demesne stayed standing.

For when the three witches are together, it is then that they are strongest. Also the bricks were covered in air-blocking diagrams.

The little girl looked out the window again and said, "You said you weren't going to blow the house down, but then you did it anyway. And thus, I refuse to name you Foresworn!!!"

The three witches cheered, and the Wolf shrieked and then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That Wolf was so smart, she figured out right away that the other demesnes were decoys," said the little girl.

And thus, the three little witches and the little girl lived happily ever after.

Cute short story! Makes you wonder what got the Wolf coming after them, though...

How was this initially posted in 2019 when Pale only started early 2020? What foresight did you have, OP!?
