when all of a sudden, a 
came sliding down from the ceiling. Before we could react, she said, "Please let me help, I've always wanted to carve a pumpkin!". What could we do but say "yes, why of course! We would love to have a spider help us. What is your name?" She said, "My name is Susie." We said, "OK, Susie, let's get to work."
. We all jumped back in fright! She said, "Oh please do not be afraid!! I want to help carve the pumpkin too!! I flew all this way 
just to help! We just kind of stood there with our mouths open until she said, "My name is Tina, and let's get to work!"
So we went on out the door, followed by Susie, and joined Tina on the porch. I spread out the newspaper as my two boys, Alan and Lee, sat down beside me. I placed the on the newspaper. Then I asked, "OK crew, who has any ideas on how we are going to make our jackolantern look today?"

As I got up to go into the house to get a knife, Tina said, "I have a much faster and safer way to do this!" She lifted her arms, mumbled a few words, and magically the pumpkin was transformed into a
