Halloween is around the corner. Everyone in the town of Hallonia
was trying to carve a pumpkin for the Jack-O-Lantern competition
during the Halloween Party. Rudy was (1)
feverishly working on his pumpkin. He had
(2)
carefully removed the pumpkin flesh and seeds with a huge
metal spoon until it was now nice and hollow. Then, with
a marker, he traced out Jack's eyes, nose, and mouth before
proceeding to cut these out.
When he was done, he attached a candle inside it and
immediately Jack
(3) glowed with
pleasure. Rudy looked on, feeling
(4) contented.
He knew that his Jack was plainer than the others but
somehow ... just somehow ... he felt a connection with Jack.
Suddenly there was a cold (5)
draught even though all the windows were closed.
Rudy rubbed his eyes when Jack's lips began to move.
"Hello, Rudy ..." |
