When the Hag returned she found Dr. Brainsweller staring down at a bowl full of mixed leaves and looking very shaken.

“What is it, Brian?” she asked him. “You look upset.”

The wizard explained, and the Hag, who was feeling uplifted after her time in the Dribble, did her best to comfort him.

“She’s just worried about you,” she said. “Mothers are like that.”

The wizard sighed. “I’m afraid I’m a disappointment to her.” He looked down at the contents of the bowl, which he was stirring absently. “You can’t blame her for being worried. I mean, it doesn’t look much like a magic potion, does it?” he said sadly.

The Hag looked. She looked again. She fetched a bottle of olive oil from the larder and a bottle of vinegar. She fetched a fork. . . .

Her face was shining. “No,” she said. “You’re right. You haven’t made a magic potion, Brian, but you have made something much, much better. You have made a salad!”
