One day, Alex heard a noise. " Someone's coming".
" I hear him" Doreen replied with joy in her voice. " And he's carrying a basket".
The elderly man in white scooped down and picked up Miguel.
" He picked me" the pumpkin replied with gladness as the man put him in his basket.
" He picked me too" Doreen squealed. The man put the pumpkin into the basket.
" He won't pick me" Alex said with a sigh. " Nobody ever does".
The elderly man put the pumpkin into his basket.
When he got home, God washed off the pumpkins. He cut off the tops and scooped out all of the insides of doubt, hate and greed. He carved out a new smiling face on all three pumpkins. He put a light inside each one and put them by the front door.
On the night of Halloween.
" Smile everyone" Doreen said with a joyful voice. " The kids are coming".
