Explanation:

- The context of the passage suggests a reference to a fictional or imaginary tale for children.

- Children's stories typically include witches, magical creatures, and fantastical events.

- Option 1: "story" is a common term used for fairy tales or bedtime tales that include characters like witches.

- Option 2: "epic" usually refers to long narrative poems about heroic deeds, which isn't the right fit here.

- Option 3: "anecdote" is a short, amusing or interesting story about a real incident, not appropriate for this context.

- Option 4: "myth" refers to traditional stories involving supernatural beings, but doesn't fit well with the context of children’s literature as specifically as "story" does.
