• 在所有童话故事里出现的女巫中，没有一个比沙女巫更讨人喜欢、更善于交际了。这位女巫住在海边堆积如山的沙子下面，夏天的时候，人们会在那里用铲子挖沙。她和其他女巫完全不同。她从不骑扫帚，也从不钻烟囱。首先，海滩上根本没有扫帚和烟囱；其次，就算有，她也不知道怎么骑扫帚或钻烟囱。沙女巫只会做一件事：遇到害怕的东西就钻进沙里；遇到不认识的人，就从沙子里钻出来。现在你知道沙女巫是什么了吧。七岁的小詹克斯被晒得通红，如果他知道你所知道的一切，那么在七月一个炎热的早晨，当他突然遭遇这场突如其来的灾难时，他就能更好地应对了。
  Of all the witches that may be found in all the fairy tales ever told there is none more delightfully sociable than the Sand Witch. This Witch, who lives underneath the heaps of sand at the ocean's edge, where, in the summertime, you dig with your shovel, is not at all like other witches. She never rides on a broomstick, and she never goes down chimneys. In the first place there are no broomsticks or chimneys on the beach at the sea-shore, and in the second place she would not know how to ride on a broomstick or climb down a chimney, if there were. All the Sand Witch knows how to do is to sink into the sand when anything scares her, and to come up through the sand when she sees a chance to get acquainted with a person she never was acquainted with before. So now you know what a Sand Witch is. And if Junior Jenks, seven years old, and dreadfully sunburnt, had known what you know, he would have been much better prepared to face the one that came up right under his nose all of a sudden one hot July morning.
