Rotten Ralph's Trick or Treat (2 page)

Rotten Ralph ran into the kitchen.

He took the lid off the popcorn popper.

Popcorn flew all over the room.

Then he decorated the bathroom with candy apples.

"Stop it," said Sarah. "Everyone thinks I'm the rotten one."

The party guests had had enough of Sarah's rotten behavior.

"We think you should take your cat and go home," the hostess said to Ralph.

The real Sarah was embarrassed.

Rotten Ralph was happy to leave.

But Sarah was upset.

"A best friend wouldn't treat me this way," she sobbed.

Just then that black cat appeared.

"Oh NO!" cried Sarah. "Not more bad luck."

Rotten Ralph took off his costume.

"GROWLLL!" he howled. He chased the black cat out of Sarah's path and up a tree.

When they got home Sarah said,

"Oh, Ralph, you're still my best friend."

Rotten Ralph purred.

"Trick or treat!" he thought.

Then he curled up on Sarah's lap.
