BOOK REVIEWS #4 (THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE)


This story is two sorcerer's story. One sorcerer is Sticklewick. He is veteran sorcerer. And other is Sticklewick's pupil, Max. Max is still an apprentice, so his job is cleaning the workshop. And there is one more important character in this story. It's Tabitha, Sticklewick's toad. Tabitha is clever and helps Max.

One day, Sticklewick had to go out. So, Max is only one at the workshop for the first time. Max thought "I don't have to any cleaning today!" But Sticklewick told Max to fill up the water tank. The tank is so deep, so that job will take long time. And Sticklewick added "Don't use any spells!" If Max don't obey his order, or Sticklewick turn Max into tadpole! But Max couldn't stand that. Max ordered the magical broom to fetch water and fill up the water tank. The broom obey Max's spell, and the tank became filled up with a lot of water. Max began to take a nap without anxiety.
After a while, Max was wakened by Tabitha's voice. A lot of water poured over from the tank! Max tried to stop the broom, but he didn't know the spell to stop. Meanwhile, the workshop became submerged. Max and Tabitha couldn't do anything.
At that time, Sticklewick came back! He made short work of the prpblem, and ask the fact of the problem. Max told that he didn't obey the order. Sticklewick became very angry and was about to turn Max into a tadpole! But Tabitha prevent that. Tabitha found that Max has a talent for the sorcerer because the spell which Max used to move the broom is very difficult! Sticklewick heard that, decided to teach some spells and magic.
Finally, Max became great sorcerer! But actually, Max is afraid of the broom a little.

I like this story very much! This story is so exciting and instructive for me. I also tend to try to get away with doing as little as possible, but I found that isn't good for me to read this story.
