Zom had a patch of pumpkins. It was close to the time to pick them. Zom did love them so much.
They were a big bunch. He was set to bake pumpkin cakes!
When he went to check the pumpkins one day, one was gone!
Skel came to check and Bones had a sniff. But not much luck!
The next day, two more pumpkins had gone! Such bad luck! Zom was mad.
Zom told Skel that he was going to camp in the patch and catch the pest.
Zom sat on watch. His chin sank down to his chest.
When he woke up and had a stretch, he saw just one pumpkin left.
Skel sat to watch the pumpkin with Zom by his side. And then...
The pumpkin did a twist in the dirt. Then it rose up, like it was under the spell of a witch.
The pumpkin had eyes, a chin and a mouth! It said, 'Hi, my name is Jack!'
Jack went home with them. No pumpkin cakes this time, but Zom has a new chum to stay!
