Juma's report on the weekend

Just after graduation weekend, Juma wrote a "report" for his class. Here it is with his spelling.

"on the week end I whened to a play in new york called wiced. It was vary freaky. It was about the wizard of oz. of how the wicked wich of the east of how she became the wiced wich of the east and how she died"


And the "correct" version for those who have trouble reading first-grade-ese:

"On the weekend I went to a play in New York called Wicked. It was very freaky. It was about the Wizard of Oz. Of how the Wicked Witch of the East [West?] of how she became the Wicked Witch of the East and how she died."
