The Worst
Witch Riding a broomstick was no easy
matter, as I have mentioned before. First, you ordered the stick to
hover, and it hovered lengthways above the ground. Then you sat on
it, gave it a sharp tap, and away you flew. Once in the air you
could make the stick do almost anything by saying, 'Right! Left!
Stop! Down a bit!' and so on. The difficult part was balancing, for
if you leaned a little too far to one side you could easily
overbalance, in which case you would either fall off or find
yourself hanging upside-down and then you'd have to hold on with
your skirt over your head until a friend came to your
rescue. |
