Bernice was a curious young girl who loved to explore the vast and mysterious enchanted forest near her home. One day, as she wandered deeper into the forest, she stumbled upon a hidden path that led her to a magical clearing. There, she discovered a wooden cottage with a thatched roof, surrounded by a garden of vibrant flowers and herbs. Intrigued, Bernice knocked on the door, and to her surprise, a kind old woman invited her inside. The woman revealed that she was a powerful sorceress and offered to teach Bernice the ways of magic. Bernice's eyes lit up with excitement, and she eagerly accepted the offer, beginning a new and extraordinary chapter in her life.
