A Scary Story
of the
Pumpkin
 Once upon a time in a winter day, there was a village near the
mountains, where most of the time the days were rainy and foggy.
The village was well known for its big and delicious pumpkins. People
from the village was waiting for the Pumpkin Day that every year
they celebrate. People cleaned the town and cooked the most
delicious pumpkin pies to share with the people who traveled and
visited the town that day.
In that place lived a very shy, young but handsome boy
named, Oliver. Oliver studied Art. He played soccer, and
liked to listen to music. Every afternoon, he turned on his
radio and he always danced with a mop because he didn’t
have any friend to talk with. He really loved music and
dancing.
 One day, while he was dancing,
he heard how the wind closed the
door, and saw a shadow going up
the stairs. Suddenly it started to
rain and Oliver walked through the
hall to look outside the house. He
just looked at the rain falling down,
and the lights of the lightning
seemed to light all the town.
Nobody was outside.
 As soon as he moved back, a
car arrived and Oliver felt
happy since he was scared. He
ran fast and opened the door,
but there wasn’t any car.
Standing in the door, he heard
somebody screamed and he
remembered his sister was in
the kitchen cooking their
pumpkin pie.
 He came to the kitchen and
saw the shadow going out the
door. His sister opened the
stove to show that a person
stole the pie. He decided to go
out for helping. After a few
minutes he rescued the pie,
but the robber ate a piece of it.
His sister cried because they
didn’t have the pumpkin pie to
share.
