Billy had been thinking that maybe Mr. Bob couldn’t do magic at all. Looking down at a fuzzy caterpillar munching on a leaf, Billy had an idea.
Later in front of the class, Billy challenged: “If you can really do magic, Mr. Bob, change this caterpillar into a butterfly.”
“Sure,” replied Mr. Bob, not fazed by the challenge, and proclaimed “ALAKAZOO, caterpillar to butterfly!” There was a puff of smoke and a flash of lightning, and when the smoke cleared the caterpillar remained as it was before.
“I knew it,” Billy exclaimed, “You didn’t cast a spell at all!”
“Sure, I did,” replied Mr. Bob. “Take the caterpillar home and wait for 2 weeks. This spell takes a little longer, but you’ll have your butterfly.”
