Devil's Food page 3 by ric Gustafson


Roy was reading the newspaper when he heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door to reveal a young boy dressed as a pirate and a young girl dressed like a princess.
" Trick or Treat" yelled the small pirate. He held out a plastic orange pail.
" Trick or Treat" squealed the young princess.
He opened the door and then reached for a wicker basket. " Would you like a candy bar or a Devil's Food zinger?".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
He stared at his wife. " Handing out Halloween treats".
" Put down those zingers!". She gave him a stern look. " Think about children's interests more than your own".
With a frown, he put a miniature candy bar into their plastic pails.
" Thanks" said the pirate and princess. They ran back to their father who was waiting for them.
The next morning, Roy was handing out Devi's Food zingers at work.
