A mischievous pumpkin threatens to eat Mrs. McMurphy. Mrs. McMurphy tries to get rid of it, including sending it to the North Pole, but it keeps coming back. One morning, a few days before Halloween, Mrs. McMurphy wakes up to find a large pumpkin by her front door. "My mouth is here. I speak to you. When my teeth are here, I'll eat you!" it says with a mischievous grin. Fortunately, this crafty lady has a few tricks up her sleeve.
