meow sang a black cat as she sat on the fence on Halloween. Meow meow meow. A dog growled. The cat jumped down and hid under the porch steps. She had ver had a home or anyone to feed and love her. Tonight she was very hungry, so when everything was quiet, she came out from under the porch. The side of the house was open just a little, and a light was shining out across the yard. It looked so warm and bright inside that  the cat ran up on the porch and right into the house. The black cat had never been in a house before, and everything in the room seemed very strange to her. A table was set for a party, and right in the middle of it was a jack o lantern. Light was shining from his round eyes and funny nose and wide mouth.

Oh how frightened the black cat was until she saw that the jack o lantern was smiling at her! he looks like my good friend the moon, she thought, he will not hurt me. So the black cat jumped on the table and rubbed against the jack o lantern. He felt nice and warm. The she looked all about her and by each plate she saw a tiny black cat. The tiny black cats looked like mice.

Perhaps these things are mice, she thought. But how still they are. She reached out and touched one of them with her paw, and the tiny cat fell over. It’s head came off, and out rolled some small pieces of candy.

A cup of milk was by each plate. When the black cat saw the milk, she gave a loud meow. She put her head down into one cup and drank every drop. Suddenly the cat heard a terrible noise. Before she could jump off the table, a crowd of children ran happily into the room, shouting and blowing horns. Some were dressed like brownies One was dressed like a witch, and one like a fairy. The black cat had never seen or heard anything like this before. She was so frightened that she could hardly move.

Kind little Ruth tried to coax her, come poor kitty, nice kitty, she said. But the black cat only dug her claws deeper into the jack o lantern. Her tail grew big. She humped her back up very high and showed her teeth. Ruth poured part of her cup of milk into a saucer. Mother set the saucer down on the floor.
