the runaway pumpkin by Kevin Lewis illustrated by SD Schindler and creatively read by miss Jill
once upon a hill when the wind blew with a chill wandered buck and Billy Baxter with their baby
sister lil and there upon the hillside growing orange fat and fine the budding Baxter's found
a pumpkin on a twisty twirly vine it was big and it was round and the boys with their eyes a gleam
gave a hope and a yell and a holler no finer pumpkin had they seen and today was Halloween
yet little lil was cautious and of course she tried to warn them but her bumbling big had
brothers snapped the pumpkin from its stem and as she watched them roll it at first real slow
but then much faster little lil look down the hill and she foresaw disaster round and round
round and Roly runway pumpkin a short way down the hillside that zoomin pumpkin caught the eye
of Buck and Momma Baxter who thought of granny's pumpkin pie till it busted through her sty round
and round across the ground making a thump and bumping sound came that thumpety thumpety thump
and bumping round and Roley runaway pumpkin a bit farther down the hillside just beyond
the chicken coop Grandpa Baxter saw that pumpkin and thought of granny's pumpkin soup
till it knocked him for a loop round and round across the ground making a thump that bump and
sound came that bumpety bumpety thump and bump and rounded Rolly runaway pumpkin now
at the bottom of that hillside where the bump and pumpkin sped pop a Baxter on his tractor
thought of granny's pumpkin bread but Papa Baxter used his head and quickly plowed a pumpkin bed
so at the bottom of the hillside fattened round upon the ground that something bump and pumpkin
plucked and didn't make another sound as pigs and hens and Baxter's gathered round where Papa
ploughed but a little she gathered granny and hold her through the waiting crowd buck
and Billie looked really proud then thumpety thumpety thump and bump and straight to the
kitchen went that pumpkin and soon after came the smell of dear old granny cooking something
granny stirred and stewed and baked until the bright full moon rose up and all those
hungry Baxter's sat themselves right down to supper and at the center of the table
among the soup and bread and pie set a grinning jack-o'-lantern with a twinkle in its eye the end
