 Devil's Food page 3 by ric gustafson

Roy was reading the newspaper in his brown recliner. He heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door to reveal a young boy dressed as a pirate. Standing next to him was a young girl dressed as a princess.

" Trick or treat" yelled the small pirate and princess.

They both stuck out orange pails.

Roy picked up two baskets. He 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".

Margaret gave her husband a serious stare. " Put down those zingers".

" I thought the kids might like them".

" Think about children's interests instead of your own".

With a frown, Roy put down the zingers. He put a candy bar into their pails.

" Thank you". The two kids ran back to their parents who were waiting for them.

The next morning, Roy was handing out Devil's Food zingers to his co workers.

The End
