The next day at school, there are a lot of the boys from town absent.She's mighty pleased-this means that they have more flour for their pie-baking plans. Score! Grandma founds that they've left a nice knife behind, a handsaw, and even some flour (which they planned to throw over the house and the cat).Of course, the commotion freaks out all the other boys and they drop all their stuff and run off. Grandma runs out with her pan of glue and pours it all over him. When he gets close to the cobhouse, he falls over the wire and flat onto his nose.The boy in the lead doesn't see the wire.
When Mary Alice returns to the house, Grandma is stirring something that smells awful.She finds Bootsie with a tin can tied to her tail-poor thing! The pranks have begun. After dinner one night, Mary Alice goes outside to find Bootsie and hears a clank and crying.Grandma reads that and tells Mary Alice that they're going to be busy baking pumpkin and pecan pies.There are always people present whenever free food is involved.

In Grandma Dowdel's little town, people take Halloween seriously.
