A word of caution
Liquorice had always been a bit of an outsider. She was the black sheep of the root family, and she knew it.
Liquorice had always been a bit of an outsider. She was the black sheep of the root family, and she knew it. Everyone else seemed to be so respectable – carrots, potatoes, onions – but Liquorice was different. She loved the dark nights and the smoky fires, and she wasn’t afraid to stir up a little mischief.
One night, on All Hollow’s Eve, Liquorice decided to cook up a special medicine. She gathered her ingredients and set to work in her kitchen, stirring the pot with gusto. The other plants watched her nervously; they knew that Liquorice liked to play tricks on people. But they needn’t have worried – this time, Liquorice had planned something special.
She finished her potion just in time for midnight, and as the clock struck twelve, she called out: “Happy Halloween!” The other plants gasped in surprise as they saw what Liquorice had done. Instead of a normal medicine, she’d made a delicious-looking liquorice cookie potion!
The other plants quickly gobbled down their potions and hurried off into the night. They wanted to get out there and have some fun! Liquorice smiled to herself; it was always satisfying to pull one over on her siblings. She couldn’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they found out what she’d done…
