The witches cottage has a huge cauldron in the middle of the cottage. There are shelves of glass jars that have things like spider legs, dragon toe nails, and fairy wings.  The floor is a dirt floor and the roof is made of wooden brooms.

I only mastered one spell in witch school. I can speak with inanimate objects. I use this spell in espionage. I work for the government.
You! What are you doing in here! Get out! Now where did I put the matches for the fire? I'm sorry! A cat was chasing me and I got confused and was just trying to stay safe. I will go back to the barn and be with my friend horse. Well, just stay out of the way and don't go stealing my fairy wings, I have important work to do for the government. I wasn't here to steal. I promise. I like to live too much. Ah well then, you don't take up too much room. Jar with matches, come now! What else do you need help with? Stay clear, when I light up this fire it's going to be hotter than hot, don't want to singe your whiskers! hee, hee hehe I would like to know what you make from a dragon's toenail? Ah, well, I use it for a potion that makes ink invisible until you hold a candle flame up to it...that's why I need a DRAGON's toenail, it comes from a fiery beast. I don't understand you can make ink visible? there is invisible ink? Well, yes. HEY! are you a spy, maybe I shouldn't be telling you all this. How do I know I can trust you? I'm no spy, I'm just a harmless mouse that likes to play games with my friend horse. You are quite paranoid!
