The+Big+Toe

=The Big Toe= A little boy was raking the leaves when the rake got caught on something lumpy. It was a big toe! He tried to pick it up, but it was stuck! He tried really hard, but it was like stuck to something. So, he raked it real hard with the rake and it came off into the yard. Then he heard something whine and crawl away. The boy picked up the toe and took it into the kitchen to show to his mom. When he did his mom said, “Excellent! We can put this nice and plump morsel in the soup and then we can have it for dinner.” At dinner time, his mom gave him, his dad, and her, soup with one third of the toe in it. After they finished their dinner, they did the dishes and then went upstairs to bed. The boy fell asleep at once. He dreamed about tasting that wonderful toe, and going raking tomorrow to try and get another one, but something woke him. “Why would someone be making noise out in the street at the middle of the night?” he thought. Then he heard the noise again. It was a voice, and it was calling for him! “Where’s my to-o-o-o-oe????” it groaned. The boy got very scared. But then he thought “it doesn’t know where I am. He will never find me.” “Where’s my to-o-o-o-o-oeeeeee????????????” it groaned. It was coming from the backyard. The boy was very scared, and he pulled the blankets over his head. He closed his eyes and hoped that if he went to sleep it would be gone. But in not too long he heard the back door open and the dreaded voice. “Where’s my TO-O-O-O-OOEEE????” it groaned. Then the creature went through the kitchen, the living room, and then he started climbing the stairs. Very slowly the creature came closer, and closer. Then he heard the voice from outside his door. “Where’s my to-o-o-o-o-oeeeee???” His door opened. Shaking with fear, he listened as the dark creature slowly walked to his bed. “Where’s my to-o-o-o-o-o-o-oeeee” the voice groaned. (At this point, stop. Then jump at the person next to you and shout : ) // “YOU’VE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” //
