巫婆的骏马

Belinda

A BROOMSTICK which had long served a witch as a steed complained of

the nature of its employment, which it thought degrading.

"Very well," said the Witch, "I will give you work in which you

will be associated with intellect - you will come in contact with

brains. I shall present you to a housewife."

"What!" said the Broomstick, "do you consider the hands of a

housewife intellectual?"

"I referred," said the Witch, "to the head of her good man."
