Well, my friend "Bob" and 1 had just gotten back from trick or treating when we were examining our goodies. Now most people who own birds own parrots or finches. "Bob" is a pelican In our treats, we found an interesting box. It said, "Odd Shapes in Chocolate". I opened the box and inside there were the oddest things! There was a chocolate severed hand, a gargoyle, jumping spider, pumpkin and a cute little ghost family. The father even had a mustache and the mom had earrings! Then I saw the odd things. There was a popcorn machine? And a coffee pot? There was a doll's head in a bottle and also a flying mouse on a broom stick, an eyeball, a bat, and a spider web. Well, ever since I opened that box, I have been under a curse. Every time Halloween comes by, I have to cat one of the chocolates. Whenever I eat one, I turn into that thing until next Halloween.
