Linda O'Zline was the most a real witch: She had a diploma from the University of Dark Sciences, did not like chocolate, adored her cat Leroy and hated children. She deliberately settled on the outskirts in her small house, believing that in this way she made it clear to everyone that she did not want to be disturbed.

She supposed, but in reality it turned out that on the best day of the year, on the holiday of Halloween, which every respected witch can’t wait to see, a crowd of village children in costumes that did not at all resemble real witches were banging on her door and begged for candy.

Over the last few months there has been a constant sound in our house. classical music, and our conversations revolve around the lives of great musicians. Sonechka became seriously interested in music. Well, I... I, myself very far from music, follow my child and study, realizing what wealth I almost missed from my life. And, of course, fairy tales and stories. Sonechka constantly wants to talk about music and asks me to write stories about famous composers. I had already told her this tale about little Mozart several times, and then I decided to write it down.

About a month ago I finished working on a fairy tale for the summer issue of our magazine “My Mother – Vasilisa”. But the summer-sea theme just wouldn’t let me go, I wanted to write something else like that for the blog. I wanted a fairy tale, but it turned out again with a philosophical bent. It’s just that when a fairy tale is written, I can no longer argue with it. I follow her, and often everything turns out differently than I intended. I hope you enjoy the fairy tale. The illustration was drawn by my Sonechka.

I wish you all a good and happy holidays! By the way, we created the summer issue of the magazine, subscription to which ends on the last day of June, thinking about mothers who will play with their children on vacation, on the seashore.
