Oh, Sam...just look...can't you see it?
See what? everything looks just like we left it...it still has that off feeling...but I don't see anything...
But, Sam....it has turned all black and dark..the leaves have fallen off the plants..the flowers wilted...
I don't see that princess...it's all still green and flowering to me...strange...very strange indeed...why can you see it and not me? what kind of strange magic is this...
I don't know, Sam, but I don't like it at all...get me out of here...now...
They take off quickly through the garden and back to the house where the princess lives....
Princess...I still don't see anything wrong...are you sure...
Yes, Sam....What is wrong with me...why can't you see what I see...
Just then the Wizard walks out the door...Hi Sam...baby girl....
Wizard, what is going on around here...both the princess and Sam ask at once...
What are you talking about?
The princess says the garden and here have all turned dark and dead...I can't see it, but she can and it scares here...
Yes, Wizard...I am scared...what is going on...can't you see it?
Yes, princess...Sam, I see it too...I'm surprised you can't, Sam...
But why, cries the princess...
I should have warned you but I thought it would have been fixed before you came back...I saw you leaving the garden with Sam and I needed to fix a few things in the garden...some things weren't right...and it had attracted some unsavory characters...the dead and dark was my way of getting rid of the bad parts so I could renew and rebuild it all right...
But, why is it that way here too Wizard...
I kind of overdid the spell....sorry, the Wizard grinned sheepishly...it will all be back to normal soon...just give me a minute or two...
Oh, well no harm Wizard...secretly Sam knows why...but he's not saying anything...not yet...
Please don't do that again, Wizard, pleads the princess....you scared me to death...
Sorry....but now you can enjoy your garden and I won't be worrying about you there...it is protected now....
Are you sure Wizard...I sensed some bad things lurking there earlier...
Yes, Sam....you'll see they are all gone...Thank you for taking care of my baby girl...I think she needs to rest now...come back tomorrow and we'll look at the garden together and make sure it is fixed...
Okay, wizard....bye princess....I'll come over in the morning and we'll take a close look at this garden...
Thanks Sam....see you then....and the Wizard and the princess go inside while Sam walks home...going around the garden...he Wonders how he is going to help the princess out of this mess...she can't see the Wizard for what he is anymore...a trickster supreme this Wizard....if only the prince would come around...maybe the princess would wake up and see the Wizard as he really is....I'll have to pay a visit to him...maybe see if I can talk some sense into him...hurry up his path some...something...I've got to think this out...Sam sighs and continues home....
