Piper’s Pumpkin Party

By Sarah Meade

Word Count: 100

Piper’s having a party! A PUMPKIN party!

She picks up her pen to plan.

She’ll pour pumpkin punch,

serve pumpkin cookies and pumpkin pie, 

and create pumpkin pyramids!

She’ll procure plenty of pumpkins for crafts, too.

Now all Piper needs is . . . pumpkins.

When she reaches the pumpkin patch– the sign says SOLD OUT. 

Piper frowns.

She tries the farm down the road– NO PUMPKINS. 

Piper pouts.

Finally at the supermarket– not a pumpkin to be purchased.

Piper PANICS!

No pumpkins?! 

She ponders.

She peruses the produce section. 

Then . . .

Piper spies a sale . . . Aha!

Piper’s having a party. 

A PINEAPPLE party!
