“Mushrooms.You onl

mush-

y stepped on a

room,” I told Wanda, annoyed.

Q

Wanda looked down at her feet. “Oh,” she

said. Then she said, “Well, it was a giant

mushroom, actually, Araminta. Look—

they’re huge. You try stepping on a whole

heap of monster mushrooms in a horrible,

dark, smelly tunnel and see what you feel

like.”

“I just did,” I told Wanda, “and I felt fine.

And I didn’t go screaming in someone’s ear,

nearly making them deaf, either.”

Wanda didn’t reply. I thought maybe I

should try to cheer her up a bit, so I said,

“Well, at least we know where we are now.”

“No we don’t,” said Wanda gloomily.

“Yes we do. These mushrooms must have

escaped from the mushroom farm. I bet we

-76 -

are underneath it right now.Which means we

are nearly there. Come on, Wanda. It will all

be worth it when we find the sword.”

“If we find the sword,” Wanda muttered.

We didn’t say much after that except for,

“left,” “right,” “left—no, right,” and “oh, I

don’t care, you choose.” The trouble was, the

tunnel just kept splitting off into different

directions, and we had no idea which one

would take us to the cave. It was like being in

a maze—a horrible mushroom maze, as the

whole time we were stepping on mushrooms. At first I felt sorry for them getting

squashed, but after a while they just got

annoying. They were really slippery, too.

We kept on hoping that any minute we

would find the grotto with the sword in it.

But we didn’t. All we kept finding was the

-77 -

green string, so we knew we were back to

where we had been before. Again.

After a while Wanda said, “It’s no good.

We’re just going around in circles.”

For once she was right.
