=The Blue Man Potion=

 The new bed was not as sparkling clean as Garnett Jr. had expected; it was supposed to be Mrs. Garnett’s fault that asked her son to move it to the Unknown Land. Garnett Jr. had no idea why they called this land the Unknown Land; he just called it like everybody else.

It was a windy morning. Snow was falling down to beautiful green grass like features of a phoenix. It was a beautiful morning but Garnett felt so miserable. Garnett started his new day with a slice of old red bread. He took a bite of a corner of the bread, feeling like he was eating nothing but an old block of a red brick. Life wasn’t so bad, I just need to do some work, that was it, Garnett mumbled. He smelled something fresh, sweet, and delicious from one of his neighbors’ houses. Garnett lifted his warm bottom up from an old comfy armchair, ran to a box and reached for a soft silver cloak; the cloak of his great-great-grandfather, then ran out of the Victorian house like the house was going to explode any second. He put on the cloak while kept on running.

Reaching a mysterious house, he found out that the smell was from the edge of window. On the edge of frosty window, he saw many different types of cakes and bakery, still very hot like someone had just baked them. After knowing that they were Mrs. Gingerbread’s, a very kind woman, he told himself that he shouldn’t steal from her. However, he was starving and exhausted so he planned to steal just this once, and don’t ever do it again.

Knowing that it would not be easy to forget Mrs. Gingerbread’s most delicious bakes ever, Garnett sat still for hours, trying to overcome his greed and fighting with his own devil. Still, the devil Garnett won over the good Garnett. Looking around and seeing no one, Garnett, wearing the invisible cloak, lifted the window and reached for the yummy bakery then ran back home with delicious treats. From that day on, Garnett had four hearty meals -- breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight meals by stealing the foods from Mrs. Gingerbread’s place.

Before long, Mrs. Gingerbread’s nosy male cat Cinderboy came to realize that something weird had happened to the cakes. Some of them were missing. Since Mrs. Gingerbread didn’t have very good eyesight, she never doubted or spotted that something strange had happened. Fortunately, the nosy Cinderboy realized what was going on. ‘How come the cakes need to fly around the garden before going to the door? They can fly over the gate if they are smart enough! It is unnecessary for the cakes to go through the door, like, like humans!’

Mrs. Gingerbread’s male cat was very smart. He knew that the one who stole the cakes had to wear a magic hat or the invisibility cloak because when the cakes were stolen, they were flying like magic bakery, passing the garden and running out through the door. After figuring this out for a while, the cat ran up the stairs and told Mrs. Gingerbread what was happening. She understood everything and tried to figure out who the burglar was. Finally, she came up with a brilliant plan. She would use the ‘Blue Man’ potion spell. She found this potion for a long time ago but she never got a chance to use it. On the next day, Mrs. Gingerbread made the biggest green apple caramel tart she had ever baked. The tart was dark blue like the darkness of the undersea. Unfortunately, the weird color went away right after she had baked it. Mrs. Gingerbread put the hot tart onto the window edge again and half an hour later the tart floated into the air and flew away.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Gingerbread spread the news that she was going to have a desserts and tea party at her house in the afternoon. Everyone who knew the news was so delighted because they would have a chance to eat the greatest bakery ever. That afternoon, while everyone were talking, sipping tea, and having scrumptious cakes, somebody cried out loud, ‘Hey, you guys, look at Garnett’s head, it is turning blue.’ ‘Oh my God, his body is turning blue as well. What’s happening?’ a woman shouted.

Garnett ran to the mirror and saw that his body was becoming blurry and ugly. "What’s happening to me?" he cried, "I’d better go home at once. This isn’t a good sign at all."

‘Not so fast, Garnett’, a voice declared. It was Mrs. Gingerbread’s, looking at him angrily. ‘Since many days ago, someone was stealing my cakes,’ she started.

Garnett looked down and blushed red and said, ‘No. No. It wasn’t me. No!’

“You better keep your mouth shut! Garnett,” Mrs. Gingerbread yelled. “Today, I was thinking that I really needed to catch the thief, so I put the ‘Blue Man’ potion into the tart, and anyone who ate the green apple tart would turn into blue in 6-7 hours, and you, you are blue!’

Garnett was scared because everyone looked very angry. The color of his face looked like the one of the undersea — all blue and puffy. Garnett then immediately pulled out his invisibility cloak and laughed like a dwarf. “Haha, no one sees me now, I can escape very easily!” He crackled happily. “Good-bye!”

He totally forgot about his dried blueberry body. Although he was in his invisibility cloak, everyone still saw him. Therefore, everyone knew where he was and…ahhh, ouch, oo, stoooppppp, ahhhh. The voice of the rumbling was very loud and finally gone.

“I am not going to be able to sit for weeks!” Garnett murmured.

“And you will stay blue as long as you keep stealing from other people!” Mrs. Gingerbread strongly replied to Garnett who was running out into the dark. “Young man, you should change your ways. You have no financial problems; still, you stole from an old lady with bad eyesight, like me. You should be ashamed of yourself!”

Garnett was so humiliated that he couldn’t face anyone in the village any longer. So, early the next day, Garnett left the village and headed to a place he hasn’t been before. When he arrived, he was still blue like a deep sea which reminded him about his deeds. If you see someone that has a blue and purple body (from the rumble, of course,) you might want to try to catch that person because it might be Garnett, the bakery robber. I bet he could tell you how heavenly the cakes of Mrs. Gingerbread are, and how ingenious her cat is as well.
