“Alice took the enormous pumpkin and ran for her life. She
didn't want to be spotted by the elves that had perhaps hidden the pumpkin
under the banyan tree.
All of a sudden, she tripped on a huge boulder and the pumpkin
flew off her hand. Alice’s eyes grew wide in horror as she witnessed the pumpkin
hit the ground with a mighty fall.
THUD! It made a huge noise and exploded splashing red blood
all over Alice.”
