"Oh, of course, fangs." Mr. Fosburgh smiled, but he looked a little puzzled. "I had fangs when I was young, but the orthodontist got rid of them for me." He smiled broadly so that Sam could see his teeth, which were stained beige from cigarettes but nice and straight, with no fangs.

Sam was astonished. "An octopus took your fangs?" he asked.

"Orthodontist," Anastasia said. "That's the kind of dentist who puts braces on your teeth and straightens them. Go on in, Sam, so we can close the door. It's cold out here." She nudged Sam inside.

"Mom called, but you didn't answer the phone," Anastasia explained to Mr. Fosburgh. "She wanted to invite you over for lasagna tonight."

"Lasagna!" Mr. Fosburgh's face lit up. At the same time, the end of his cigarette lit up as he inhaled on it. Poor Mr. Fosburgh couldn't manage to stop smoking. He had tried a million times. "My favorite! I'd love to. Thanks, Anastasia.

"My phone's out of order," he explained. "And I couldn't figure out how to call the telephone company and tell them, because of course I need a phone to call them, but mine's out of order. Now there's a problem, right, Sam?"

"Right," Sam agreed, nodding his head. He had just noticed something. When Mr. Fosburgh talked with a cigarette in his mouth, he had to squint and scrunch his face. It was a little like trying to talk with fangs. Sam put his fangs, which were still in his hand, back into his pocket.
