Mr. Butterbean

In the center of town, the meeting had begun. Mr. Butterbean was shaking his cane at the crowd. Beside him on the platform, Oldwick's mayor looked very upset. "Down with Halloween," shouted Butterbean. "Down with noisy children. Down with trick or treats! There will be NO Halloween in Oldwick this year!" ~from "Old Witch Rescues Halloween"

 

Old Witch came to a screeching stop in front of Mr. Butterbean.

Mr. Butterbean could hardly believe his eyes. He stared in amazement at Old Witch. How could she have escaped from the tower? Then his fury returned.  He snatched a pitcher of water from the speakers’ table and dumped it on Old Witch. “Troublemaker!” he shouted.
