Winnie the Wicch lived in

black

house in the forest.

The house was black on the
outside and black on the inside.
The carpets were black.
The chairs were black.
The bed was black and it had
black sheets and black blankets.
Even the bath was black.

Winnie lived in her black house with her cat, Wilbur.

FIe was black too. And that is how the trouble began.
