The next day, the sorcerer leaves the house early.
'It's laundry day,' he tells Yukio at the door. 'Put water in the tub in
the laundry room. Then wash my clothes.'
After the sorcerer goes, Yukio thinks, 'The broom can help me!' He
cannot read. But he remembers the sorcerer' s spell, and says it.
Suddenly the broom has arms and legs. 'Bring water from the well
to the laundry room,' Yukio tells it.
The broom takes water to the laundry room again and again. Soon
the laundry tub is full. 'Stop!' Yukio cries. But he cannot remember
the spell now. So he can't stop the broom!
