The Sorcerer's Apprentice (6)

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (6)

" I'll start work right away, " said Jim,eagerly.

" When all your tasks are finished, I will teach you my magic, " promised the sorcerer.

So Jim became the Sorcerer's apprentice.

Day after day the work became harder and harder, and the hours longer.

But still Jim learned no magic.

During the weeks that followed, the sorcerer's raven became Jim's friend.

For many years he had been under a spell cast by the Sorcerer.

He could fly quite freely around the castle, but as soon as he wanted to glide down to the valley below, his wings just just folded up　and he had to land.

" Will you take me with you when you escape from here ? " he asked Jim.
