Devil's Food page 3 by ric gustafson


Roy was reading the newspaper when he heard the doorbell ring. He walked over to the door. He opened it to reveal a young boy dressed as a pirate. Next to him was a young girl dressed as a princess.
The young pirate stuck out his plastic pail. " Trick or treat".
The young princess held out her pail. " Trick or treat".
Roy picked up a basket that was by the door. " Would you like a candy bar?". His voice hesitated. " Or would you like a Devil's Food zinger".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
" Handing out Halloween treats".
Margaret walked up and glanced into the basket.
She shook her head and put a candy bar into their baskets. They ran back to their parents.
" Take those zingers out of there". She gave her husband a serious stare. " Think about children's interests instead of your own".
The next morning, Roy was handing out Devil's Food zingers to his co workers.
