One day, a boy named Mark went to the grocery with his mom. Mark was a creative kid who loved to draw. He brought his crayons and paper with him to draw pictures while his mom shopped.
As they walked through the store, Mark saw a big, round, orange pumpkin. He thought it would be fun to draw a face on it. So, Mark asked his mom, "Can I draw a face on the pumpkin, please?" His mom said, "Yes, but only if you promise to be careful."
Mark carefully drew a happy face on the pumpkin. But then something unexpected happened. The pumpkin started to talk! It said, "Thank you, Mark! You gave me a face so I can see and talk to you!" Mark and his mom were very surprised, but they made a new friend that day.
