I WANT MY MUMMY
By Ken Major
“I found this mummy at a
tag sale,” said Mom.
“It looks real,” said Max.
Max cleaned cobwebs off it, found a button labeled
“magic potion” and pushed it.
Liquid dripped down the
mummy onto the porch.
Max’s friends came over
for trick or treating.
A strange kid joined in.
Later on Max saw his
sister trick or treating.
“Our mummy’s missing,”
said Sarah.
“Where’s the strange kid in the mummy costume?’ asked
Max.
Sarah and Max walked home
together.
“The mummy’s back on the
porch,” said Sarah.
“Someone left candy near
it too.”
“Want some candy?” moaned
the mummy.

TRICK OR TREAT, SPIDER HIDER
By Ken Major
Guess what? Spiders like Halloween too!
I used cobwebs
to reach Jordan’s candy bucket.
I hid in there because you can’t beat free rides and
candy.
The trick was
to beat Jordan to our favorite candy, chocolate.
Houses 1-4 didn’t give out chocolate.
Houses 5 and 6 did, but Jordan ate it.
House 7 gave out apples.
House 8 gave out sodas marked “Potion”.
House 9 gave out chocolate-less cupcakes.
House 10 came through with chocolate-covered
pretzels.
Long before we reached House 20, I fell asleep,
totally full.
I woke up back home surrounded by chocolate candies.
What a night!
