Mrs. Walton didn’t seem to notice anything was wrong. “Why don’t you watch some television until dinner is ready,” she suggested. Maddy went into the lounge room and turned on the television. Gradually, as she sat and watched her favourite television program, the hot, angry feeling went away. She had been silly to rush home so quickly! She should have tried making a wish while in the Matson backyard. If it worked, she would have been safe back home again. Once she was Maddy Walton again, she would still have Brett Havington’s pool party to look forward to next Saturday night. If it hadn’t worked, she would then know that the mysterious white rabbit must have had something to do with her silly wish being granted. The white rabbit had to belong to someone in the district and she would find it. She had to find it, she corrected herself. Not that she wanted to return right now.
