Laughing is a spontaneous reaction to definite external or internal stimuli. Laughter can result from such activities as being tickled, or from amusing stories or thoughts. Most frequently, it is considered a visual expression of a number of positive emotional states, such as happiness, relief, joy, mirth, etc. 

The Worst Witch is a sequence of children's novels written and demonstrated by Jill Murphy and issued by Puffin Books. Miss Cackle is the sympathetic headmistress of the Academy. Chubby and pleasant, Miss Cackle is softer towards Mildred when she is in problem, and rather than frighten the girl as Miss Hardbroom does, Miss Cackle gives long, sorrowful lectures which causes Mildred to feel culpable for the trouble she is in.
