The owners of Wookey Hole Caves, a famous tourist attraction in England, are looking for a live-in wizard (男巫师). The winner must have a white beard, magical powers, or be able to perform tricks, and work well with animals. He is likely to become a real-life Albus Dumbledore. Wookey Hole is visited by 40,000 people each year. To attract people to the job, it is offering the winner a surprising ￡60,000-a-year salary. Hundreds of hopefuls are now expected to apply for (申请) the job. Last year Wookey Hole offered a ￡50,000-a-year job to a live-in witch (女巫). In total, 3,000 men and women applied for the job. Carla Calamity, a 40-year-old former agent, who sold houses and land for people, won the job last July after beating 300 other finalists. After her win, the witch said, “Going from an agent to this is a natural progression I suppose. You need a bit of magic and witchery to sell houses.” The job was based on work during school holidays and at weekends. She taught visitors about the use of magic powers. In busy times, she even had to leave her rented home and sleep in the caves. “It will be like a palace compared to what I am living in at the moment,” she said at the time.
