Chrissam the Witch Has a Little Trouble with a Spell

Chrissam is trying to make a spell, but it is not going very well at all. She is putting everything into her cauldron that is on one of her recipes out of her spell book and she is putting the right amounts in too. Some of the ingredients are live creatures, they have to be for this particular spell to work, but things keep jumping out and Chrissam does not know why this is happening!
There was a rat in the cauldron, but that jumped out a minute ago. The frog is getting out as well.
(“Can you see him jumping out of the cauldron? ”)
“I am not staying in there, it’s just too hot! ” the frog exclaimed.
As you can see, the worm is making his escape as well.
Poor Chrissam, all she wants is to make a little magic, but this spell is giving her a problem. She called her broom Sweep and said to him:
“Did you clean my cauldron when I last used it?
Do you remember, I asked you to do it and you said you would? ”
Chrissam hoped Sweep had cleaned it and she hoped he had done it properly, with the right fluid and the right amount of fluid.
“Oh yes, yes mm- I did- yes, ” muffled Sweep.
“When Sweep? When did you clean it? ”
Chrissam stopped and thought for a minute and then she asked.
“Was your friend Brush with you? ” she sounded nervous “was Brush helping you? ” she looked very worried indeed! “Did the two of you clean it together? ”
“Oh, you did use the proper cleaning fluid I asked you to use, didn’t you? ”
Chrissam asked so many questions, that Sweep didn’t know which one to answer first.
Oh dear, Chrissam started to realize now why her spell was not working.
You see, when Sweep and Brush get together they can do silly little things and their minds are not on what they are supposed to have their minds on at all. You see, with the making of spells in any cauldron, the first thing you have to do is make sure that the cauldron is completely clean and there are no traces of any spells left over from the last time it was used, because if there are, the spell that you are working on will not turn out properly. If Chrissam had known Brush was coming over on that particular day, she would not have asked Sweep in the first place to clean the cauldron.
Sweep looked confused - he shuffled about a bit and then he answered “Yes, Brush was with me and yes, we did clean the cauldron and the fluid was out of the red bottle with the yellow stripes.”
“Oh no, Chrissam groaned, I said the yellow bottle with the blue dots. Never mind, at least now I know why my spell is not working, ” she said.

There is one way we can all help Chrissam with this spell, if we all say together the magic words!
“Cauldron hot
Cauldron bubble,
Cauldron please
Don’t give us
Any trouble,
Just do all we ask
When we want a little task
Can’t you see this spell
Was meant to be,
Made by
Chrissam witch he he.”
Now all should be o.k.
Chrissam has made her spell
