One cryptic Halloween night in the sleepy town of Hallowville, eight-year-old Timmy discovered a glowing pumpkin in his backyard. The golden hue and the gentle pulsating light it emitted drew him in closer. With an uncertain hand, he carved a jagged smile on THE pumpkin.
As he did, words began to magically form inside the glow: “On Halloween night, when the moon is bright, wish for something dear, and it will appear.” Fascinated, Timmy wished for an endless supply of candy.
Instantly, his entire house began to fill with all sorts of delightful sweets! The unstoppable torrent of goodies soon overwhelmed Hallowville, causing a sticky, sweet avalanche.
Struggling, Timmy cleared the candy from his mouth and gasped, “No more candy, please!” The deluge of sweets stopped instantaneously, leaving the townspeople pleasantly bewildered, amidst a town made of candy.
From that night on, Hallowville was not only known for its Halloween spirit, but also as the sweetest town on earth. And Timmy? Well, he’s learnt that even on Halloween, there can be TOO much of a good thing. But everyone agreed that you could always make the best out of a sticky situation!
