This was just for fun.

They had finally trapped the Other Mother in a cage! Coraline and Wybie rejoiced. What terrible things would they do to her as payback...?
The cat trotted up to them and tilted his head curiously.
"We have finally got the witch!" Coraline rejoiced.
"May we burn her...?" Wybie asked.
They both started chanting..."Burn her! Burn her!"
"How do you know shes a witch...?" The cat asked dryly.
"She looks like one!" Coraline pointed to the cage.
Coraline and Wybie agreed.
Cat looked at the cage. They had put one of those glasses with a funny nose and a mustache on the Other Mother and a witches hat.
"Im not a witch, I'm not a witch!" The Other Mother yelled.
"But you are dressed as one..." The cat said to her.
"They dressed me up like this! This isn't even my nose!" The Other Mother said angrily, pointing her one hand to Wybie and Coraline then her nose.
In response Coraline and Wybie started arguing and yelling.
"Well...?"
"Well we did do the nose..." Coraline admited.
"The nose...?"
"And the hat..." Wybie added. "But she a witch!" He added quickly.
They started chanting 'burn her' again.
"You dressed her up like this?"
"No!" Coraline said annoyed.
"No!" Wybie said after her. "...Yes..."
"Yes..." Coraline said quietly.
"A bit." They both said.
"She has got a wart!" Wybie added.
"What makes you think shes a witch?" Cat said, flicking his tail.
"She turned me into a newt!" Wybie said.
...
"A newt?"
...
"..I got better..." He said quietly.
"BURN HER!" The duo both started yelling.
"Quiet, Quiet!" Cat yelled, annoyed. "There are ways of telling if shes a witch!"
"Are there?" They both asked. "What are they? Tell us!!"
"Tell me," Cat said, licking his lips. "What do you do with witches?"
"BUR-R-R-N HER!!" They both yelled happily.
"And what do you burn apart from witches?"
"MORE WITCHES!!!" Wybie screamed, and Coraline smacked him.
"Wood." Cat said, flicking his tail. "So, why do witches burn?"
...
"Because...They're made of...Wood?" Coraline said slowly.
"Goooooood! So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?"
"Build a bridge out of her!" Wybie said cheerfully.
"Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?" Cat said smiling.
"Oh...Yeah..."
"Does wood sink in water?"
...
"No..." Wybie said.
"It floats!" Coraline added.
"LETS THROW HER INTO THE LAKE!!!'
"What also floats in water?"
"Apples!" Coraline said.
"Very small rocks!" Wybie said after her.
"Cherries!" Coraline beamed.
"Mud!" Wybie added.
"Churchs! Churchs!" Coraline yelled.
"Lead!" Wybie said.
"Cider!" Coraline said.
"A duck." Wybie said slowly.
...
"Exactly!" Cat said, smiling. "So, logically..."
"If she...Weighs the same as a duck...Shes made of wood..." Wybie said slowly.
"And therefore...?"
"A WITCH!!!!"
