Here is my Halloween effort. I'm not very good at making Pumpkin pie,
but I can make Pumpkin monsters. I've even made up a silly story to go
along with it:
"A Pumpkin Gree is a small mischievous sprite known to visit the human
world at Halloween. Aware that they very much resemble decorations so
favoured at that time of year, a Pumpkin Gree will happily make its
temporary home in a well-tended garden, unnoticed amongst the seasonal
paraphernalia. Unfortunately, any Trick or Treaters who visit a home
with a resident Pumpkin Gree will quickly find the joke is on them, as
these creatures have great appetite for all sweet things and very little
conscience about how they obtain them. Children who complain that
their treats have been stolen by a small growling pumpkin will be
labelled by their parents as UNTRUTHFUL and GREEDY. The Pumpkin Gree
finds this very funny indeed.
Of course, should a child "accidently" drop some candy nearby; the
Pumpkin Gree will let them pass. They may be little monsters but they do
like intelligent children."
