Pumpkin Bonfire

One day, there were these beautiful pumpkins that were growing in Miss Petunia's back yard. One day Mr. Grapasaurus, her neighbor, snuck into her backyard and stole 10 pumpkins for a bonfire party that he was planning. But nobody came to his party so he needed more pumpkins. This time, he stole 20 pumpkins. Miss Petunia was out of town and a couple people came to his second pumpkin bonfire. He kept stealing more and more pumpkins until he stole all of Miss Petunia's pumpkins, which Miss Petunia noticed. She smelled the bonfire and she walked over to her neighbor's yard and saw that it was him, Mr. Grapasaurus, that had stolen her pumpkins.

Miss Petunia called the police on Mr. Grapasaurus and she waited by her fence so she could keep an eye on him and keep an eye on her driveway. She was getting a little tired so she planned to go inside but she knew she couldn't leave. Then, she felt a tiny little tap on her leg. There was one of her other neighbors, Lulu Woodsketch. Lulu was 5 years old. Lulu said, “I can watch him. You can go rest.” Then Lulu called her older brother Neal Leo Woodsketch. He was 18 years old. She called Neal Leo so quiet Mr. Grapasaurus couldn't hear. Lulu told Neal, “You watch for the police and I'll watch him. If I need your help, I'll call for you.” Then Lulu called Violet Weenberry, who is her cousin, to go to the other side of the fence to watch that side. Violet was 7 years old. Lulu and Violet could see each other but Mr. Grapasaurus couldn't see them.

The police showed up and one went to the back door and one went to the front door. Another went to Lulu and another went to Violet. Mr. Grapasaurus tried to get out one of his side exits. He tried to get out Violet's side first but she grabbed his legs, flipped up into a handstand, and put her feet up on his shoulders. Then, she kicked him over with her feet. Then, Lulu opened up the other side of the fence and ran in. While Violet kicked over Mr. Grapasaurus, the police ran by her and grabbed everyone that was at the pumpkin bonfire and stuck them in all of the backup police cars. Then after Violet knocked down Mr. Grapasaurus, she did the splits on top of him and then did 3 handstands across him, then spun across him, then kicked him over and started to dance on his back. Then, Violet lifted him up with one hand and carried him to the next town and to that police station.

While Violet was doing that and before the police took everybody away, Lulu grabbed everybody that was at the bonfire and carried everybody to all the different cars and she had to do a handstand to do that like her cousin Violet did. Then after that, she ran back to her cousin Violet and while she was running back, Mrs. Weenberry stopped her and asked, “Do you know where Violet is? I thought she was supposed to be with you?” Lulu said, “She is with me. We went over to Miss Petunia's house to help her because Mr. Grapasaurus is there trying to steal all of her pumpkins. Then, he was having a bonfire with all of these people. So, we were helping her get everybody where they belonged. If you follow me, I can show you. And if you really want, you can ride on my shoulders. It wouldn't hurt me. I carried 5 people on my shoulders already to get them into the right squad cars.”

So, they both went and found Violet and after the police left, Mrs. Woodsketch and Mrs. Weenberry and Violet and Lulu and Neal Leo and Miss Petunia all went to the corner of Miss Petunia's yard and they all grabbed out their wands and said, “Magic is a wonder. It is like a wonderland of wands and magic. That's how much fun it is.”
