so they wandered off to the Big Town of Souris where there was more excitement.

It seems that Halloween could not be celebrated without eggs, so they joined their peers, and with their pockets full of eggs, managed to get in an egg rivalry, and started throwing eggs at some challenging candidates. Everything was going well until the tide turned, and Gary and his friends were encountered by the competition. The fight was on and Gary was on the losing side. There was egg everywhere, including his eyes and hair. He was losing ground, so he was happy to get out of there and come back home to his own turf.

Sometime later I noticed that Gary’s Kangaroo jacket was missing. I searched his room, and lo and behold I perceived a whiff coming from under his bed. Sure enough, there was something yellow curled up in the comer like a snake. When I examined it more closely, I found out that it was the lost gray Kangaroo jacket. The only difference was that now it was yellow, contaminated, and as the saying goes, “It was smelling like a rotten egg”. Nothing could ever get it clean again. Gary’s Halloween days were

over after that.
