Angry about being given a tangram puzzle instead of candy, trick-or-treater, Greedy Pete smashes it and finds it pursuing him as it rearranges itself into various animals. |
“The seven pieces of tile had turned into a goose - an annoying goose that pecked at Greedy Pete's heels. "Go away, goose!" said Greedy Pete. And it did - but not until it had snatched some of Greedy Pete's trick-or-treat candy.”
