ZOUK in the contryside n° 172 p.35

ZOUK  our   brave little witch, is out for a walk in the countryside with her friends,Mr Pumpkin and  the Pips the cat.  "Hello birds, hello rabbits,  hello deer," says Zouk.
            .Hello mici,  hello foxes, you are all so cute! "

Suddenly they hear  loud noises  in the didtance.
The animals are terrified and run away. But Zouk is not scaredof anything.
                    walks towards the horrible  noises.

Her friends follow her, trembling... especially Mr Pumpkin who is very small.


                         What do they see ?  A huge Machine is ripping up trees.
                 It destroys the countryside and lays a long road everywhere it passes.


                     Zouk is not happy, not happy at all!

          Zouk stands in  front of the mean  machine and shouts, "stoooop !"
A door opens at the top and the mayor of the big, big city pops his head out,  He yells, " Move out of the way, you crazy witch, I'mdestroying everything...

"I'm going to make the city bigger. There will be houses and factories instead of these useless trees! Get out of my  way  or I will squash you with my machine! "

Zouk is not at all happy ... and what do little witches do when they are not happy ?
They cast a magic spell.!  ( Il jettent un sort )

Abraacadabra, don't be mean, be a kind machine!


Now the machine plants trees, water flowers, helps animals and even whistles along with the birds. The mayor  also finds out it is better to be kind. He says, "Thanks Zouk !"
