At first, the kids were skeptical. “No way,” said Owen, his eyes narrowing in disbelief. “You’re pulling our leg.” But James wasn’t backing down. He explained everything—the cauldron, the bones, and the hair—painting a picture of what he had learned. Slowly, the other kids’ curiosity started to outweigh their doubt.
Eventually, they decided to go see the shed for themselves. With James leading the way, they crossed the yard, their steps hesitant but curious. As they entered the shed, their doubts melted away. It was nothing like the dark and eerie place they had imagined. Instead, it was warm and inviting, filled with handmade dreamcatchers and the scent of fresh herbs.
