Devil's Food page 3 by ric gustafson
Roy was reading the newspaper in his favorite chair. He heard the doorbell ring. He got up, walked over to the front door and opened it. It revealed a young boy dressed as a pirate and a young girl dressed as a princess.
" Trick or treat" yelled out the young boy.
" Trick or treat" yelled out the princess.
They both stuck out orange pails.
Roy took the two baskets and opened the screen door.
" Would you like a candy bar or a Devil's Food zinger?".
" Roy, what are you doing?".
" Handing out Halloween treats".
" Put down those zingers". Margaret gave her husband a serious stare. " Think about children's interests instead of your own".
With a frown, he put down the basket of zingers. He put a candy bar into each of their orange pails.
The young pirate and princess ran back to their parents at the end of the driveway.
In Roy's work breakroom the next morning was a basket of Devil's Food zingers.
The End
