The four Hoppers sat in their yard.

It was almost Halloween.

The nearby pumpkin patch was full of pumpkins.

But there was a stream between the Hoppers’ yard and the pumpkin patch.

Mother Hopper had told them to never go near the stream.

“I see a tall pumpkin to make a long jack-o’-lantern,” said Floppy Ears.

“I see a fat pumpkin to make a round jack-o’-lantern,” said Speedy Legs.

“I see a crooked pumpkin to make a funny jack-o’-lantern,” said Fluffy Tail.

“I see the biggest pumpkin in the world. I’m going to make the biggest jack-o’-lantern in the world,” said Snubby Nose.

“If only we could cross the stream.”

四只跳蚤坐在院子里。

快到萬圣節了。

附近的南瓜地到處都是南瓜。

但是在霍珀家的院子和南瓜地之間有一條小溪。

霍珀媽媽告訴他們不要靠近小溪。

“我看見一個高高的南瓜做了一個長長的南瓜燈，”松軟的耳朵說。

“我看見一個胖南瓜在做一個圓南瓜燈，”斯皮迪說。

“我看見一個歪歪扭扭的南瓜做了一個有趣的南瓜燈，”毛茸茸的尾巴說。

“我看到了世界上最大的南瓜。我要做世界上最大的南瓜燈。

“要是我們能過這條河就好了。”
