'Now listen very carefully,' whispered Witchety-Woo and she drew Bobby Bird up close to her so her awful twisted nose touched his cheek and her sour, putrid breath invaded his nostrils. Birdy grimaced and wriggled and tried to create some space between them but Witchy held him tightly, her long dirty fingernails digging into his arms.
'Whatever you do boy, don't be caught out there in the dark after midnight...'
He looked at her and frowned.
'I'm warning you!' she hissed fiercely and then pointed a long crooked finger towards the window where the pale moon shone through the dark winter branches. 'For there are strange and terrible things out there in those woods...strange, ghastly, beastly things and there's no telling what they will do...what they are capable of...If you want to come out of there alive boy, you'll take care and listen to what wise Witchy is telling you...'
