Emily laughed and chased her inside the school building.

When they got back to class, their teacher Mr. Marvin had twenty-one pumpkins on the front table.

“ Now what?” asked Vinni. She hung her coat in her cubby.

“Great,” Emily said. “More pumpkins.”

“Mr. Marvin!” Vinni called. “Did the pumpkin fairy visit us again?”

Mr. Marvin was not amused. “That’s funny, Vincetta Louise. Sit down, everyone. This afternoon we are going to make jack-o’-lanterns.”

“Yes!” the class cheered.

“But, we will not carve them.”

The room went silent. Emily was confused. She scrunched her nose.

“Mr. Marvin,” Vinni said, “you have to carve a jack-o’-lantern!”

“Vincetta Louise,” Mr. Marvin said, “you have to raise your hand.” He picked up a pumpkin. “Each of you will get one pumpkin. You can use paint, markers, yarn, glue, felt, beads, and buttons to make the pumpkin look”—Mr. Marvin was nodding—“like yourself.” He had a huge grin on his face.

Emily had never seen Mr. Marvin smile so big.

He looked just like a jack-o’-lantern.
