the pumpkin patch page 3 by ric gustafson
One day, Alex heard a noise. " Someone's coming".
" I hear him" Doreen replied. " And he's carrying a basket".
The elderly man in white scooped down and picked up Miguel.
"He picked me" Miguel replied with gladness. The man put him into his basket.
" He picked me too" Doreen squealed. The man put the pumpkin into his basket.
" He won't pick me". Alex sighed loudly. " Nobody ever does".
The elderly man smiled as he put him into his basket.
When he got home, God washed off the pumpkins. He cut off the tops and scooped out the insides. He carved out a new smiling face on each pumpkin. He put them by the front door.
On the night of Halloween.
" Smile everyone" Doreen said with a wide grin. " The kids are coming".
The End.
