He saw a Halloween lantern in the moon-light. It hung above the window-sill and as it turned round and round, he saw on it a Jack O’ Lantern, a Big Black Cat and a Witch!
He cried,
“’Tis a magic lantern, if I were in it,
I’d change my name to Think-A-Minute.”
Whether he rode in the magic lantern or not, I cannot say, but every year on Halloween a Big Black Cat, sat on his door-step, and a Jack O’ Lantern peeped in his window, and a Witch riding by on a broom said,
“Think-A-Minute, how do you do?
’Tis Halloween, we’ve come for you.”
He had many jolly rides with the trio many times on Halloween without doubt.
I wish I knew if he really changed his name to “Think-A-Minute.” I forgot to ask him.
