One​ ​ ​dark​ ​and​ ​stormy​ ​night​ ​there were​ ​two​ ​kids​ ​walking​ ​in​ ​the​ ​rain . ​ ​ ​Their names​ ​were​ ​Harold​ ​and​ ​George . ​ ​They were​ ​ten​ ​and​ ​eleven​ ​years​ ​old​ ​and​ ​they had​ ​been​ ​walking​ ​for​ ​hours . ​ ​They​ ​were on​ ​their​ ​way​ ​to​ ​walk​ ​home​ ​and​ ​they​ ​had seen​ ​a​ ​pumpkin​ ​in​ ​the​ ​middle​ ​of​ ​the street . ​ ​The​ ​pumpkin​ ​had​ ​red​ ​eyes​ ​and they​ ​picked​ ​it​ ​up​ ​and​ ​said​ ​ “ What​ ​should we​ ​do​ ​with​ ​it ?,” ​ ​Harold​ ​said​ ​ “ Oh​ ​I​ ​know let ’ s​ ​smash​ ​it !” ​ ​and​ ​George​ ​said , “ Ya​ ​let ’ s​ ​do​ ​that ... that ' s​ ​a​ ​great​ ​idea !” Harold​ ​raised​ ​his​ ​arms​ ​and​ ​they​ ​heard someone​ ​ “ Say​ ​put​ ​me​ ​down​ ​now ! ​ ​They looked​ ​at​ ​the​ ​pumpkin​ ​and​ ​he​ ​said , ​ ​ “ Ya that ’ s​ ​right​ ​I​ ​talked​ ​and​ ​I​ ​mean​ ​it​ ​put​ ​me down !!” ​ ​They​ ​put​ ​him​ ​in​ ​George ’ s bookbag​ ​and​ ​smashed​ ​him . ​ ​By​ ​the​ ​time they​ ​got​ ​home​ ​it​ ​stopped​ ​raining​ ​and they​ ​went​ ​to​ ​bed . ​ ​When​ ​they​ ​woke​ ​up they​ ​saw​ ​a​ ​bunch​ ​of​ ​baby​ ​pumpkins scattered​ ​all​ ​over​ ​their​ ​room​ ​and​ ​they​ ​all had​ ​red​ ​eyes​ ​and​ ​they​ ​all​ ​started​ ​saying “ Why​ ​did​ ​you​ ​smash​ ​our​ ​dad ? ​ ​Why​ ​did you​ ​smash​ ​our​ ​dad ?” ​ ​over​ ​and​ ​over again . ​ ​They​ ​both​ ​said​ ​to​ ​each​ ​other​ ​ “ Is this​ ​a​ ​nightmare ?” ​ ​George​ ​said , ​ ​ “ Pinch me ” ​ ​and​ ​Harold​ ​did​ ​and​ ​they​ ​said​ ​out loudly​ ​ “ This​ ​is​ ​not​ ​a​ ​nightmare !!!!”

The​ ​next​ ​day​ ​they​ ​went​ ​to​ ​the pumpkin​ ​patch . ​ ​They​ ​were​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​a small​ ​pumpkin​ ​that​ ​was​ ​ $ 2.99​ ​and​ ​a​ ​big pumpkin​ ​that​ ​was​ ​ $ 6.75 . ​ ​ ​Later​ ​that night , ​ ​they​ ​were​ ​carving​ ​pumpkins . Harold​ ​got​ ​the​ ​big​ ​pumpkin​ ​and​ ​George

had​ ​gotten​ ​the​ ​smaller​ ​one . ​ ​They​ ​started to​ ​carve​ ​the​ ​pumpkins​ ​and​ ​they​ ​went outside​ ​for​ ​a​ ​minute . ​ ​Then​ ​they​ ​came back​ ​inside​ ​and​ ​the​ ​pumpkins​ ​were gone . ​ ​Harold​ ​said , ​ ​ “ Where​ ​did​ ​they​ ​go ?” And​ ​George​ ​responded​ ​ “ I​ ​don ’ t​ ​know . Where​ ​did​ ​they​ ​go ? ​ ​ ​let ’ s​ ​go​ ​check​ ​the rooms .” ​ ​George​ ​looked​ ​in​ ​the​ ​his​ ​room and​ ​Harold​ ​looked​ ​in​ ​his . ​ ​They​ ​both said , ​ ​ “ Do​ ​you​ ​see​ ​them ?” ​ ​ ​They​ ​both responded​ ​ “ Nope .” ​ ​They​ ​looked​ ​in​ ​their parents​ ​room​ ​and​ ​they​ ​didn ’ t​ ​see​ ​them , and​ ​then​ ​they​ ​went​ ​in​ ​their​ ​backyard and​ ​they​ ​both​ ​didn ’ t​ ​see​ ​them . ​ ​They checked​ ​out​ ​front​ ​and​ ​they​ ​saw​ ​them . George​ ​said​ ​ “ Why​ ​do​ ​they​ ​have​ ​red eyes ?” ​ ​Harold​ ​responded , ​ ​ “ I​ ​don ’ t know .” ​ ​George​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​catch​ ​his pumpkin​ ​and​ ​as​ ​George​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​catch his​ ​pumpkin​ ​it​ ​grew​ ​bigger​ ​and​ ​Harold tried​ ​to​ ​catch​ ​his . ​ ​As​ ​he​ ​tried​ ​to​ ​catch itm , ​ ​his​ ​also​ ​gets​ ​bigger​ ​and​ ​they​ ​both tried​ ​to​ ​catch​ ​their​ ​pumpkin . ​ ​George caught​ ​his​ ​and​ ​two​ ​minutes​ ​later​ ​Harold caught​ ​his​ ​and​ ​Harold​ ​said , ​ ​ “ Let ’ s​ ​go back​ ​inside​ ​and​ ​carve​ ​these ,” ​ ​George said , ​ ​ “ Ok ” ​ ​and​ ​they​ ​did​ ​that . ​ ​Then​ ​when the​ ​carved​ ​the​ ​pumpkins , ​ ​the​ ​pumpkins talked​ ​and​ ​said​ ​ “ We​ ​will​ ​get​ ​revenge​ ​on you .” ​ ​When​ ​they​ ​finished​ ​carving​ ​the pumpkins​ ​they​ ​went​ ​to​ ​sleep . ​ ​When George​ ​woke​ ​up​ ​he​ ​said​ ​ ​to​ ​Harold “ Wake​ ​up ! ​ ​It ' s​ ​Halloween .” ​ ​Harold​ ​said “ I ' ve​ ​been​ ​waiting​ ​for​ ​so​ ​long . ​ ​It ’ s​ ​finally here . ​ ​Halloween​ ​is​ ​here .” ​ ​They​ ​got​ ​out of​ ​their​ ​beds​ ​and​ ​got​ ​dressed​ ​to​ ​go outside​ ​to​ ​ride​ ​their​ ​bikes . ​ ​They​ ​went​ ​in the​ ​garage​ ​and​ ​get​ ​both​ ​of​ ​their​ ​bikes and​ ​ride​ ​them​ ​around​ ​the​ ​block​ ​a​ ​couple times . ​ ​Their​ ​legs​ ​get​ ​tired​ ​and​ ​they​ ​went
