A Case for the Wizard Detective
Villager
Excuse me! Can I speak to Wally the wizard detective?
Wally
Yes, I'm Wally.
Villager
Hi, Wally. Sorry to bother you, but our good witch has lost her magic stick and a wicked witch took it from her. Can you help us?
Wally
Of course. Where did this happen?
Villager
In the old house in the woods where the wicked witch lives.
Wally
Okay, thank you for letting me know. I'll go there now.

(Wally flies away on his broomstick)
Witch's Cat
Meow!
Wally
(whispering) Oh no, the cat saw me. Better run before she chases me!
Regieanweisung
(Wally runs away and goes back to the village)
Wally
This is a tricky case. I need to use my special skills. Will any of you help me gather herbs and plants from the forest?
Villagers
We're scared of the wicked witch, but we want to teach her a lesson. We'll help you.
Regieanweisung
(Wally and the villagers gather the necessary ingredients)
Wally
Thank you. Now I can make a special spell.
Regieanweisung
(Night falls and Wally returns to the old house)
Wicked Witch
Who's there? Show yourself!
Wally
(peeking through the window) It's just me, the wizard detective. Don't mind me, carry on with your potion making.
Wicked Witch
(angrily) I don't take kindly to strangers watching me ... Come here!
Regieanweisung
(She starts chasing Wally)
Wally
(running away) Ahh! Help!
Wicked Witch
(shouting angrily) You dare stealing from me?! I'll put an end to you!
Regieanweisung
(Wally reaches the hiding spot behind a chair)
Wally
(thinking to himself) Phew. That was a close one. Time to put my spell in her bubbling potion.
Regieanweisung
(Wally puts the spell in the potion and quickly hides)
Wicked Witch
What's happening to me?! I feel weird ...
Regieanweisung
(She transforms into a frog)
Wally
(triumphantly) Got it! Time to go back home.
Regieanweisung
(Wally returns the magic stick to the good witch)
Good Witch
(relieved) Thank you, Wally. You're a hero!
Wally
It was not easy, but I do love a challenge.

Wally's Chase for Wanda's Wand
Wally
Hello there, Miss Wicked Witch. What brings you to my part of town?
Wanda
Oh Wally, I need your help.
Wally
Sorry, no can do. I'm rather busy with other cases and I don't really have the time for all that witchcraft business.
Regieanweisung
Wanda
This is important! My wand has been stolen by that good-for-nothing Greta!
Wally
Well, why don't you just use your special skills and make another one?
Wanda
It's not about making another one. This stick was different, it had powers like no other.
And now she has it. You must help me get it back!
Wally
Why should I bother myself with witches' fights?
Wanda
(promising) Because I am willing to pay a lot of money if you find it for me.
Wally
Hmmm ... well, in that case, I suppose I could accompany you on this little adventure.
Regieanweisung
(They fly off on his broomstick)
Wanda
Alright, here's her house. Let's take a peek inside and see what she's up to.
Wally
She better not turn us into frogs.
Wanda
Don't worry, I'll handle it.
Regieanweisung
(Wanda knocks on the door and an unsuspecting Greta opens it)
Wanda
(venomously) Give me back my magic stick!
Greta
(lecturing) Oh Wanda, always trying to teach others a lesson. But I'm afraid I won fair and square. And besides, I need it for my magic lessons.
Wanda
(furious) How dare you steal from me?! (pushes Greta aside) Hand it over.
Regieanweisung
(Greta fights back with a spell, knocking both Wally and Wanda to the ground)
Wally
(surprised) Wow, she's tricky. We underestimated her.
Wanda
Gather some herbs, Wally. We're going to make a special potion and chase her out of here.
Wally
I think we need to find another way. She's more powerful than I thought.
Wanda
(angrily) Fine, fine, I'll handle this on my own if you can't keep up.
Regieanweisung
(Wanda starts chanting spells)
Greta
(now impressed) Well, well, looks like someone has been practicing her magic after all.
But you're too late!
Regieanweisung
(Greta is revealing a magical barrier)
Wally
(confused) What's happening?
Greta
You see, this wand isn't just any wand. It has the power to protect its owner. You won't be able to touch me.
Wanda
(frustrated) Curse you, Greta!
Greta
Now, Wanda, remember this magical lesson. Some things aren't worth chasing, no matter the treasure they promise. And as for you, Wally, maybe next time you'll think twice before meddling in witch affairs for the sake of gold or any worldly gain.
Regieanweisung
(Wally, realizing the situation, humbly admits his mistake)
Wally
My apologies, Greta. I should have known better than to get involved in magical disputes. We'll leave you to your lessons.
Regieanweisung
(Wally and Wanda reluctantly leave Greta's residence)
