Wizards

I read "Wizards" written by Christpher Rawson.

Long, long time ago, lots of people believed in wizards.

They thought there were good one's, who helped people and bad one's who cast evil spells.
  Zag was a wonderful wizard. He looked after children, who had nowhere else to live. The children adored him. But Zag didn't do any magic, because he forgot his spells. One day, "We don't have any money left" he said sadly. "But don't worry. I know how we can make some money "
First, He taught children how to juggle. Then he taught them clever jumping tricks, and acrobatics.
Finally, He the children put on a show for the villagers. It was a great success. Every one laughed and clapped and gave the children money.
One man walked past, muttering to himself. He didn't give them any money even though he had bags of gold. His name was Mervin the Miser and it suited him. "Tricks, indeed. Stuff and nonsense.
Mervin stomped off to his house before anyone could spot him. Safe inside, he shut the door with a bang. The money from the show didn't last. Zag had run out of ideas. Zag was very old and tired. The children knew he'd done his best, but they didn't give up. They went to Zag's Secret Room, and found a rusty can. It was "Laughing Powder!" "Sprinkle on victim.... tickle with feather...."
The children slipped out of the wizard's house and went to Maser's house.
Mervin was fast asleep. Jack tiptoed to his bed, and sprinkled laughing powder all over him.
"Ha ha!" cried Mervin, with a huge smile. He started to laugh. "I haven't felt this happy for years. Tomorrow is Christmas Day! Let's have a party!" And that's what they did. Even the mayor was invited. After that, Mervin made sure that Zag and the children never went hungry again.

The wizard of my image is very interesting and big heated parson.
If I ware Wizard or Witch, I use my magic power to come true my dream.
