Model Story (77 words)

A2 Model Answer

Once upon a time, an old queen lived in a quiet kingdom. The queen told the servant to find a magic potion. However, an evil witch lived in the woods. The witch asked the prince not to visit her tower. The servant wanted her to help the kingdom, so she begged the witch. The queen would like him to bring the magic broom. Finally, the prince needed the witch to break the curse, and everyone lived happily.
