Her magic broom, however, refuses to obey, questioning why it must follow injustice and blaming. The broom takes disobedient actions—going the opposite direction and traveling to extreme locations—until it is thrown from a mountain. In the cold, harsh landscape, the broom searches for safety and tries to escape.","The Magic Broom  \nAuthor: Yamam Khartash  \nIllustrator: Sara Wafeeq English  \nThe Magic Broom  \nWritten by Yamam Khartash.  \nImages by Sara Wafeeq. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

She used her magical powers to turn cats into flower pots and bunnies into flowers.  \nOne day she decided to add a new ingredient to her magic spell. She grinned and said,“This time I’ll turn Rapunzel into a big, bald frog.” After she prepared her magic potion, she called for her magic broom and said,“Abracadabra, vroom, vroom, vroom! Take me to Rapunzel’s tower, my terrible, terrible broom!” But…  \n...the broom did not take her anywhere. The broom couldn’t stand it anymore. She thought,“What did Rapunzel do to deserve being turned into a frog? And why should I obey that wicked old witch? She’s never happy with anything I do and she blames me for everything.” The broom decided she would not take her there…and not just that.  \nWhen the wicked old witch asked her to go right, she went left.  \nAnd when she directed her to the Equator, she went to the North Pole. That wicked old witch was furious and mad as a hornet!  \nAs the broom landed on top of a mountain, the witch threw her off the highest peak. Then she cackled,“This is what you get for disobeying my orders…ha ha ha ha!”  \nThe broom rolled over and over. When she stopped rolling, she looked around.“Where am I?” the broom thought,“Oh, this is the coldest and driest place I’ve ever seen.” The broom shivered from the cold, so she tried to quickly fly away. But time and time again, the cold wind pulled her back down.","cbCaigCLEx4BCe8O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigCLEx4BCe8O","pdf",1020103,28,"English","en",105,"# Story\n## Esmeralda’s cruel magic\n## The broom’s refusal to obey\n## Consequences and the escape attempt","[{\"question\":\"Who is Esmeralda and what does she do?\",\"answer\":\"Esmeralda is a wicked old witch who uses magical powers to transform others cruelly, including turning animals and even threatening Rapunzel.\"},{\"question\":\"Why doesn’t the broom take Esmeralda to Rapunzel’s tower?\",\"answer\":\"The broom becomes fed up with the witch’s unfair demands, blaming the witch for turning Rapunzel into a frog and for constant unhappiness and blame.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after Esmeralda tries to punish the broom?\",\"answer\":\"Esmeralda throws the broom from the highest peak.
