Witch Burning

- We have found a witch. May we burn her? - Burn her! - How do you know she is a witch? - She looks like one. - Bring her forward. - I am not a witch. - But you are dressed as one. - They dressed me up like this. - We didn't! - And this isn't my nose. It's a false one. - Well? - Well, we did do the nose. - The nose? - And the hat. But she is a witch. - Burn her! - Did you dress her up like this? - No. - Yes. - Yes, a bit. She has got a wart. - What makes you think she is a witch? - Well, she turned me into a newt. - A newt? - I got better. - Burn her anyway. - Burn her! - Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. - Are there? What are they? Tell us. - Tell me, what do you do with witches? - Burn them! - What do you burn apart from witches? - More witches! - Wood. - So, why do witches burn? - 'Cause they're made of wood? - Good! - So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood? - Build a bridge out of her. - Can you not also make bridges of stone? - Oh, yeah. - Does wood sink in water? - No. - It floats. - Throw her into the pond! - What also floats in water? - Bread. - Apples. - Very small rocks. - Cider. - Cherries. - Gravy. - Mud. - Churches. - Lead. - A duck! - Exactly. So, logically... - If she weighs the same as a duck... She's made of wood. - And, therefore... - A witch! - A witch!
