Once upon a time, there was a witch who lived in a spooky old house on the edge of a dark forest. This witch was not like any ordinary witch; she had a peculiar habit of swallowing strange creatures. One day, while wandering through the forest, the witch came across a little fly buzzing around her head. Without a second thought, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed the fly in one gulp. She immediately felt a strange sensation in her stomach. Curiosity got the best of the witch, and she decided to swallow a spider to catch the fly.
The way we sang it was only slightly different. I think your memory may be off and the following is actually a correction but heck, it's possible there's more than one version. Anyway, on the second and subsequent verses.

Why, Oh Why, Did A Witch Swallow A Fly - Hardcover
But soon, the witch's stomach began to rumble and ache. She realized that she needed to swallow something else to calm the pain. As she strolled through the forest, she spotted a bird perched on a branch. In a swift motion, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed the bird, along with the fly and spider. However, the witch's stomach didn't feel any better; in fact, it felt worse than before. She walked deeper into the forest, desperately searching for something that could help soothe the pain. Just when she thought all hope was lost, she stumbled upon a cat stalking a mouse. In her state of distress, the witch didn't think twice and swallowed the cat. Now, her stomach was filled with a fly, a spider, a bird, and a cat. But instead of feeling relief, she felt unbearable discomfort. The witch knew she had to find a solution quickly. As luck would have it, the witch came across a cow grazing peacefully in a meadow. Without hesitation, she gulped down the cow, hoping it would finally alleviate her stomachache. With a cow, a cat, a bird, a spider, and a fly in her stomach, the witch waddled back to her house, hoping for some relief. But no matter how she tried, the witch's stomach couldn't handle the strange assortment of creatures she had consumed. It continued to rumble and expand until it burst open, sending all the swallowed animals flying out in a chaotic frenzy. The witch, now wiser and with a newfound appreciation for the creatures of the forest, vowed never to swallow anything again. She spent the rest of her days living peacefully in her house, surrounded by nature and with a stomach free of creatures. And so, the tale of the witch who swallowed a fly serves as a reminder to think twice before acting impulsively and to appreciate the beauty of the world around us..
Reviews for "When Flies Become Friends: Unraveling the Witch's Secret"
1. Samantha - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "The Witch Who Swallowed a Fly". The story had potential, but it fell completely flat for me. The writing felt forced and the rhymes were awkward. The illustrations were also quite bland and didn't capture my interest. Overall, it just didn't hold my attention or offer any excitement. I wouldn't recommend this book to others looking for an engaging and well-written children's story.
2. Jason - 1/5
I found "The Witch Who Swallowed a Fly" to be incredibly tedious. The repetitive nature of the story quickly became grating and my child lost interest after just a few pages. The illustrations were also unappealing, lacking in color and detail. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining and engaging read for their children.
3. Sarah - 2/5
I was quite disappointed with "The Witch Who Swallowed a Fly". The story seemed to drag on with the witch swallowing one animal after another, and it lost any sense of excitement or suspense. The illustrations were also quite uninspiring, lacking in detail and creativity. I would not recommend this book to others looking for an engaging and visually appealing children's story.
