One Very Good Day
"Yes, Mr. Punkin. Today was one very good day," said Jimmy as he sat beside his prized pumpkin. "I knew today was going to be special when I smelled that cake that Mama was makin' this mornin'."
Jimmy pulled out his big blue handkerchief and polished a spot on the large orange pumpkin beside him. "It didn't take long for me to understand why Mama was a makin' that cake. I saw that-there carriage coming up the road, and I knew who it was right away. Then, just like that, Mrs. Vanderbilt stepped out of that carriage. Don't you know that carriage had fringe on top of it?"
Jimmy wiped a bit of sweat from his forehead and then leaned back against the big pumpkin. "You know, Mr. Punkin, I seen Mrs. Vanderbilt before. When she stepped out of that-there carriage, she waltzed right over to me here in this punkin patch. Do you know what she said?"
