The Sorcerer’s Apprentices

“Little creatures were whirlin’ around that tap.”
“Did you drink from it?’
“No way.”
“What kind a creatures?”
 
“Dunno. They was walkin’ mops.”
“Mops?”
“Carryin’ buckets.”
“Buckets?”
 
“They was a-dancin’ and a-cleanin’.”
“A-cleanin’?”
 
“Old-style music was a-playin’.”
“Huh?”
“Sounded like horns. Mama might have said French. Real lively-like.”
“Golly.”
“Then Joe swats at ‘em. They upturns their buckets and douses Joe with water.”
“Well, I’ll be…”
“The next thin’, I hear them singin’ ‘when you wish upon a star…’ and there’s fireworks and a magic castle, and some little mouse with funny ears is a-wavin’ at us….”
