We know the guy with the crooked eye is Davey the Baby's brother, and the tall, one next to him in the straw brim, that's Rosa's Eddie V., and the big one that looks like a dumb grown man, he's Fat Boy, though he's not fat anymore nor a boy.

All brown all around, we are safe.

But watch us drive into a neighborhood of another color and our knees go shakity-shake and our car windows get rolled up tight and our eyes look straight.

Yeah.

That is how it goes and goes.

But we aren't afraid.

Those who don't.

Those who don't know any better come into our neighborhood scared.

They think we will attack them with shiny knives.

They are stupid people who are lost and got here by mistake.

The orange thing walked into the __salon__ And it __confessed__ that its stems had grown long. The thing started then started to tell the story of it creation Its Aunt the __pheasant__ and __Uncle__ the __crane__ Found a __cushion__ with seeds These seeds did not taste good to them The __pheasant__ and __crane__ decided to plant the seeds and hoped for rain They waited and waited but no rain came. On the fourth day the rain fell The __crane__ and __pheasant__ were __relieved__ The seeds growth took on a life of its own It grew quickly and became large It was growing so large that the __crane__ and __pheasant__ had to __summon__ Help to stop the growth They looked at this orange thing and did not know what to called it This thing that is plump, roundish, and full of ridges. It took some time but they called it Pumpkin.
