ittle Tina looked at Little Timmy and said, "Gee, Timmy, do you think we'll be home soon? It's awfully dark and frightening outside."

​Little Timmy tried to put on a brave face as he slowly marched forward down Twisty Lane,

"Oh, Tina," Little Timmy said, pointing to the pale moon, "just imagine that's the sun instead, and it's the middle of the day in the middle of the summer. There's nothing at all to be afraid -"

As if on cue, an owl hooted at that moment, sending Little Timmy up in the air, his heart pounding against his tiny chest.

"Sure, Timmy," Little Tina said, "it's just the middle of the day in the middle of the summer. Then why do you have goosebumps all over your arm?"
​
"I could explain that a lot better then I could explain why there's a candy house I never noticed before on Twisty Lane."
