Under the porch pumpkin, Taffy the candy corn made a secret dare: he would step past the warm candy bowl and find the tiny sound called the Moon-Crunch. Nobody knew if it was real. The night smelled like dry leaves and cinnamon, and the wind went whoo-loop around the steps. Taffy waddled down one stair, then two, paying for his brave idea with a sticky smudge of caramel on his point.
A maple leaf skittered by. Scratch-scratch. Another leaf spun in a circle. Tick-tick. “That’s not it,” whispered Taffy. Then the pumpkin gave a soft little thump, and three candy corn friends leaned close. The leaf, the pumpkin, and Taffy’s caramel point all tapped together: crunch-click-pop! Taffy carried that sound back to the bowl, grinning wider than before. If you peek at the swirls around the pumpkin, you might catch the Moon-Crunch trying to run away again.
