Leota wants to learn the Minnesota Charm

Leota stacked her new books in a fabulous little pile. She was thrilled with their freshness, it made her smile. Finally at university, she could figure out the Minnesota charm. It was reputed to invisible-ize people, so what could be the harm? She flipped through the table of contents, wanting to find the page. Minnesota charm is no longer viable. She stared at this in rage. Surely one of these professors could teach it to her though, right? She asked every one of them; begging with all her might. It is forbidden, Professor Doolittle said. Do not ask again. Leota witch went on a starvation diet, and got rather thin. Why didn’t you ask me? Her mother said, when she got hospitalized. I did not think you would know it, Leota said, totally surprised. Her mother taught her the charm and she uses it all the time. So if someone says they did not see you, please never mind.
