striking midnight. F=rom midnight <X>til dawn. the edge of the
forest was guarded by Wanda, the witch, and all her evi spil"its.
No one can get into CK out of the fc:Kest during this time. So Gilda
and the frog hid nearby.

Now the forest is said to be enchanted because no matter
how r ar yOU travel you always seem to be in the same place. So
to keep them from getting lost, F=reda and lily fly overhead.
When they arrive at the gypsy camp, the last finaist is
dancing, They have to beg the king to let her dance. He agrees,
and she dances beautifuly. He awards her the trOPhY and her
