Donna and Simon discover The Sorcerer's Apprentice, by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Look at what my hands can do! Today, Dixie the Dog picks up a magic wand, casts a spell on a broomstick and ends up in all sorts of trouble. The Sorcerer's Apprentice has been left alone to tidy up and he commands Pink Bird, dressed as the broomstick, to perform his cleaning chores. Donna and Simon bring us Goethe's classic poem about how the trainee's spell goes horribly wrong. Dixie watches in horror as Pink Bird turns the magician's workshop into a horrible watery mess.
