The skeleton’s raised hand and lifted knee are frozen at the exact second his secret challenge turns magical. With one rib-rattling hop, Finn tried to dance from the jack-o’-lantern to the “R.I.P. Funny Bones” stone without stepping on a single fallen leaf.
The smiling moon leaned closer, as if counting the beat, while two bats swooped between the stars to watch. Can you find the bat with the widest wings near the moon? That was Murk, the self-appointed judge. Finn spun carefully, ribbons on his arm bones fluttering, and placed his bare foot between two leaves like they were tiny islands in a black sea.
His hardest move came beside the tombstone, where a spiderweb tucked into the corner made the path extra narrow. Look for the words “FUNNY BONES” carved in big letters; Finn had promised to bow there if he made it. One more kick, one more wobble, and he balanced with his hand high in the cloudy night. Even the pumpkin’s triangle eyes seemed to shine brighter, because the quiet cemetery had become a stage, and every leaf still lay untouched.
