I was hurrying home in the dark when I saw a man walking toward me.

"Do you know what time it is?" I asked. The man lit a match to look at his watch."It is eight o'clock" he said. Then he grinned at me.

His teeth were three inches long! When I saw them, I ran.

Soon I came to another man. "Why are you running?" the man asked.

"I just met a man with teeth this long," I said. "It scared me."

"My teeth are longer than that," said the man, and he grinned at me.

When I saw his teeth, I ran.

Soon I came to another man. "Why are you running?" he asked me.

"I just saw a man with teeth this long," I said.

"That's nothing," said the man. "Did you ever see teeth this long?"

I took one look, and I ran all the way home.

The doctor told her she was dying. Jenny called Alfred to her side.

"Alfred," she said, "now I can tell you about the green ribbon.

Untie it, and you will see why I could not tell you before " Slowly and carefully,

Alfred untied the ribbon, and Jenny's head fell off.
