okay. Ah, Boy was digging at the edge of the garden when he saw a big toe. He tried to pick it up, but it was stuck to something, so he gave it a good hard jerk and it came off in his hand. Then he heard something grown and scamper away. The boy took the toe into the kitchen and showed it to his mother. It looks nice and plump, she said. I'll put it in the soup and we'll have it for supper. That night, his father carved to into three pieces, and they each had a piece. Then they did the dishes, and when it got dark, they went to bed. The boy fell asleep almost at once, but in the middle of the night, a sound awakened him. It was something out in the street. It was a voice, and it was calling to him. It groaned when the boy heard that he got very scared, but he thought it doesn't know where I am. It never will find me. Then he heard the voice once more on Lee. Now it was closer. It groaned. The boy pulled the blankets over his head and closed his eyes. I'll go to sleep. You thought When I wake up, it will be gone. But soon you heard the back door open and again hear the voice groaned. Then the boy heard footsteps move through the kitchen into the dining room into the living room into the front hall. Then, slowly, they climbed the stairs. Closer and closer. They came. Soon they were in the upstairs hall. Now they were outside his door. Mm. Voice grown, his door opened, shaking with fear. You listened as the footsteps slowly moved through the dark toward his bed. Then they stopped.
