The little boy replied,
“I am a Tell-Tale, I’ve heard said,
That you are just a pumpkin head.”
At this very minute, a Black Cat jumped up on the window-sill, winking and blinking her great round eyes, and she said, as she showed her white teeth,
“Tell-Tale and Tattle-Too,
It’s Halloween, we’ve come for you.”
The little boy answered,
“I am Tell-Tale, on Halloween,
I hear Black Cats are often seen.”
