Ka…thunk!
Harold bumped into an orange wall.
As he looked up…and up…and up, it was the biggest
pumpkin he ever saw and also the saddest looking pumpkin.
"Big Punk, how goes it"? asked Harold.
"Sad", growled Big Punk, "no one wants a pumpkin as big
as I am. It would take two people to carry me home,
what would they do with me?"
"We might have to talk
about this one" thought Harold as he pulled Burnham
aside. Burnham rolled around a little bit and scratched
his pumpkin shell while he thought. "What about the
homeless at the mission? They always need great quantities
for their Thanksgiving Day dinner. Instead of a bunch
of pumpkins, you would make enough pumpkin pie
for everyone. What do you think, Big Punk"? he asked.
Before he could answer, Harold nudged Burnham saying,
"Look, it's almost daybreak, Burnham. Oh dear, the night
is almost gone. We all have to return to the Great Pumpkin
before the sun comes up"....................
