Snoopy suddenly looked up from his book to find that the scouts were gone! Where is everyone? he thought.

Woodstock chirped loudly from behind, and as Snoopy turned around, he felt something heavy on his head. The scouts were crouched on Snoopy’s head, trembling.

I guess my story was too scary, Snoopy said. Okay, no more stories! Let’s toast some more marshmallows!

The scouts cheered!

A Story for October 18

A Misunderstanding

Linus and Snoopy were tired. They had been exploring different pumpkin patches all day long.

When they reached the last one, Snoopy immediately stretched out for a nap.

Who knew exploring pumpkin patches would be such hard work? he thought.

“I know you’re tired, Snoopy,” Linus said. “I’m tired too. But you know we needed to look at every pumpkin patch to make sure the one we chose was the most sincere.” He looked around the pumpkin patch. “I think we saved the best for last. This one looks perfect to me! What do you think?”

Snoopy looked up sleepily. I think this pumpkin patch looks like every other one we’ve looked at for the last three hours! he thought. But whatever made Linus happy was fine with him. Snoopy nodded.

Linus clapped. “Great! This is the one!”

Snoopy nodded again, then grabbed a tiny pumpkin and placed it under his head to use as a pillow. Now it’s finally time for a quick snooze, he thought and closed his eyes.

But suddenly the sound of a girl yelling startled both Snoopy and Linus. “Hey, you two! Get out of here, or I’m calling the police!”

Snoopy panicked and hid behind Linus.

The girl ran up to Linus. “Gotcha!” she shouted. “Don’t even think about trying to run away! I am faster than you, and I will catch you every time. So stay right where you are, thief!”

She glared at Linus. She wasn’t kidding around. She was really angry at him.

Linus was confused. “Thief? I don’t understand,” he said. “What have I done? I’m just trying to pick the most sincere pumpkin patch to wait for the Great Pumpkin! I would never steal anything—otherwise the Great Pumpkin may not come and bring me anything on Halloween night!”
