ever saw a jumping pumpkin???

 On Halloween morning, Allie woke up early. It was a Saturday and she rushed out to the back porch to check her pumpkin and see if it was dry. She was in a bit of a hurry. She wanted to be the first family member to be through with the traditional carved pumpkin. Usually, she was last, but this year, she had planned ahead and she grabbed the pumpkin, placed the top on it and sat it on the front porch, to be ready for the evening family pumpkin lighting.

  It was so tiny and cute. She sat back and admired it. Then, it jumped. Allie blinked. Surely she did not see that happen. It moved again. The small pumpkin appeared to be sliding across the porch, on it's own. Allie screamed. Her brother Pete came running out onto the front porch. "What's wrong, Allie?" Pete asked her. She pointed at the pumpkin. It jumped and moved about a half foot. Pete screamed. Allie looked at him. "What did you do to my pumpkin, Pete?" she asked him. "Nothing, I swear." he said. About this time, Allie's parents came out onto the front porch to see what the commotion was.

The tiny pumpkin started hopping across the porch. Allie's dad gasped and her mom screamed. Suddenly, Allie got very mad. "I know that you did this, Pete. I don't know how, but it is not funny. You always want all the attention. You are jealous of my pumpkin!" Allie screamed. Pete shook his head. "I swear, Allie, I didn't do this." he said. "Darn you, Pete!" Allie screamed. She was furious. She ran over to her pumpkin, just before it hopped off of the porch. She snatched it up, flung the top off and stared. Something huge and dark green was in it. She screamed and threw the pumpkin down. It tumbled across the porch and something fell out of it. They all stared at it   silently. Then, it hopped off. It was a huge toad. No one said anything for a long moment. Then, her dad started laughing. Soon, they all joined in. They all laughed until they cried. Then Pete said solemnly "Even I could not have thought that one up." Allie giggled. "I'm sorry, Pete." He smiled. "Happy Halloween!" he said. They all laughed together the rest of the morning. "I think I am now in the Halloween mood." Allie's mom said. The entire family burst into laughter. "It was the mystery of the jumping 
pumpkin" Allie's dad said. They all agreed.
