Chapter 3

Narrator: When Harry got home, he told Maria about Polly.

Maria: Oh, Dear! We have got to do something about her!

Harry: I know, but I just don't know what.

Maria: Well, we had better have dinner soon, or it will get cold.

Harry: Yes, Dear.

Narrator: But While Harry ate, he couldn't help but think of poor Polly and her situation at the steelworks. Later that however, he had a strange dream.

Harry (In the dream): Now just open the throttle.

Polly: Ok. (sound of hissing and puffing and a screeching whistle is heard.

Maria: Harry, Harry, Harry wake up.

Narrator: Harry wakes up from his dream to find Maria staring over him looking concerned.

Harry: Oh, I was just dreaming, that is all.

Maria: Yes, but you almost woke up late for work.

Harry: Oh, Dear, I must be off.

Narrator: When Harry got to the steelworks, he saw to his dismay that Polly was working near the molten metal going into the molds, and that she was in Danger of being burned by flying embers.

Harry: Hey, what is Polly doing over here? Can't you see that this is way too dangerous for someone of her age range to be doing?

Workman: Why, everyone else is busy, and she is the only one who is small enough to fit in that small space over there.

Harry: She is way to young, unfit, and not used to doing things like that, get her out of there!

Narrator: So the workmen did, and Harry began to talk to Polly again.

Harry: Why did you go along with something like that?

Polly: Because they forced me to do it. They think that I am more expendable than them. They do not care if anything happens to me.

Harry: Well, listen, I will try and help you in any way that I can help you.

Narrator: Then Harry went to his office, where he started filling out his paperwork. Sometime later, he heard a scream. He went to investigate, and he found Polly trying to push a flatcar of rails to the outside of the factory, where they would be loaded onto trains and carried away. But the workmen were pushing her, making her go faster, and they didn't think that she was doing the job good enough. Then they started beating her on the back to try to make her go faster. Harry came down to stop them.

Harry: Stop, can't you see that you are hurting her, she is barely capable of doing this as well as she is. Find another job for her.

Workman: Will, you stop telling us what we can or cannot do with this girl, she is not can't you see that you are hurting her, she is barely capable of doing this as well as she is. Find another job for her.

Workman: Will, you stop telling us what we can or cannot do with this girl, she is not our property, she belongs to the boss. We can do whatever we want with her. Now go back to you're office!

Narrator: Harry went back to his office very upset and disgusted, and wanting even more to help Polly. That night, he was going through his bookshelfs looking for something to read to get his mind off of her for a bit. He was going through a part of a shelf that was not touched in a long time, when he came across a book that was titled "Magical Powers unleashed". He was interested in this book. He started to look through it and studied it page by page. In the book he saw all of these different magical curses and powers and spells. He was very curious about this and began to study how to do them. Just then Maria came up and saw him looking in the book, and asked,

Maria: What are you reading?

Harry: I just found this old book about magic and how to use it.

Maria: How silly, magic doesn't exist, it is only a myth.

Narrator: But Harry was not so sure, he wanted to test some of these spellsout for himself to see if they were true. So he started looking for a simple one in the book.

Harry: Let's see, here is one that says, "To levitate an object, you close your eyes, say these sayings aloud, and hold out your hands to simulate lifting the object.

Narrator: So Harry did as the book said on a book that was lying on the floor, and when he opened his eyes after he did everything, he was amazed to find that the book was floating in the air.

Harry: Wow, this is amazing, I must try another spell!

Narrator: So harry looked at another one which taught how to light a fire.

Harry: To do this it says draw these symbols around what you want to light, and say the blessing, and it will happen.

Narrator: So he did it to a candle, and the candle lit.

Narrator: Then Harry thought to himself

Harry: I will just do one more spell and then go to bed.

Narrator: So he looked in the book for one more spell, and found one for writing through So he looked in the book for one more spell, and found one for writing through you're mind.

Harry: I just write the symbolic lettering for the magic, say my blessings, and say in my mind what I want to write.

Narrator: But what he did not know was that Maria was looking in the door at him, and as he did it she burst into the room screaming

Maria: What are you doing!?

Harry: Honey, Look, the magic spells in this old book really work.

Maria: Oh My God, this is amazing!

Harry: Yes, I know!

Maria, maybe we can do something with this.

Harry: Maybe.

Maria: Well, Good Night dear, I need you to go to sleep now, you have got a busy day ahead of you in the morning.

Narrator: So Harry went to bed that night dwelling about his miraculous discovery. Then , he thought of something else, he thought that maybe he could use this magic to help Polly. And within the days to come, it would really come true.
