The witch who worked at the Magical Menagerie hated coming to work.

She hated every moment of her shift.
The noise never stopped, and people expected her to be knowledgeable about their very boring house pets.
She had to feed the darn things and clean their cages.

The worst part was Crookshanks.

The monster had been in the store for ages. He was always getting underway whenever she sold or inspected a rodent.
When he scratched, it hurt.
And of course, no one every wanted to buy the darn animal after he had jumped on them.

Maybe today, she'd get lucky……
