Devil's Food page 3 by ric Gustafson


Roy was reading the newspaper when he heard the doorbell ring. He got up from his brown rocker and walked to the front door. He picked up the two small wooden baskets. He opened the door to reveal a young boy dressed as a pirate and a young girl dressed as a princess.
The young pirate stuck out a small orange plastic pail. " Trick or Treat".
The young princess stuck out a pail. " Trick or Treat".
Roy put a candy bar and a Devil's Food zinger into their pails. " Here you are".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
He turned to see his wife at the top of the stairs with a scary look on her face. " Put down those zingers".. Her voice got higher. " Think of children's interests more than your own".
With a frown, Roy took out the zingers from the pails and put another candy bar into each.
" Thanks". The two ran off to their parents who were waiting for them.
The next morning, Roy was handing out Devil's Food zingers to his co workers.
