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 as a princess.
" Trick or Treat" yelled the small pirate as he stuck out his orange pail.
" Trick or Treat" squealed the young princess.
Roy picked up both baskets. He opened the screen door. " Would you like a candy bar or a Devil's Food zinger?".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
He grinned at his wife. " Handing out Halloween treats".
Margaret gave him a serious stare. " Put down those zingers". Her voice hesitated. " Think about children's interests instead of your own".
With a frown, he put down the basket of zingers and then put a candy bar into each of their orange pails.
The pirate and the princess ran back to their parents.
As he was shutting the door, he thought he heard a turkey gobbling noise.
The next morning, Roy was handing out zingers to his co workers.
