My Life As A Pumpkin

I grew up in a pumpkin patch called Oak Springs Pumpkin Farm. My name is Toad. I am a green pumpkin with yellow specks all around me. All the pumpkins in the pumpkin patch have been bought—except me. But one day a little girl named Amanda came and picked me out. This was the most joyful day of my short pumpkin life! I was ecstatic!! Amanda brought me home and shortly after carved me. She made two triangles for my eyes and a half circle for my mouth. Soon it was Halloween and Amanda lit a candle inside me. I met kids who came to trick or treat at our house. After Halloween I began to rot. I was used in a compost pile where I met lots of new friends. When I rotted away I knew a new life cycle would begin.
