Once upon a spooky Halloween night, in the boringly normal town of Bumblebee, emerged the legend of the Pumpkin-Spiced Poltergeist. Locals named it thus, as this ghost was known to spike unsuspecting hot cocoas with an overdose of cinnamon flavor. Scandalous!
The victim was always young Master Twiddle, the notorious town prankster. Exclusively on Halloween nights, as he sipped his favorite hot cocoa, his lips would pucker at the uninvited, potent taste of cinnamon. The Poltergeist’s mischievous giggle would echo through his cozy cottage, sending shivers down Twiddle’s spine.
Once, Twiddle tried to outsmart the ghost by swapping his cocoa with crab bisque. But as soon as Twiddle took a bite, POW! Once again, the bisque tasted like a pumpkin pie! The hijinks had the whole town in fits of laughter. Not Twiddle, though. He craved justice.
One Halloween, he cleverly collected the spiked cocoa as evidence and presented it before the town’s jury. As everyone tasted the cocoa, surprise painted Bumblebee’s faces. The cocoa was ordinary, without a trace of cinnamon. Twiddle, flabbergasted, returned home only to discover an empty cinnamon canister in his kitchen.
“And that, my dear friends, is how Bumblebee realized its notorious prankster had been pranking himself all along!”
