Trick or Treat Sled Run
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     It was the day before Halloween. Lindsey sat on her front porch waiting for her new friend, Kaitlyn, to come over.
 
2     Kaitlyn arrived shortly. "Hi, Lindsey!" she called. "How are you? We've got to work on our sled for Halloween today."
 
3     "Our sled?" Lindsey questioned.
 
4     "Yep. Gotta get it ready for the trick or treat run."
 
5     "What in the world are you talking about?" Lindsey asked.
 
6     "Come with me. I'll show you."
 
7     Lindsey and Kaitlyn bounded down the street to Kaitlyn's garage. In the middle of the floor was a sled with a large box attached to it. Kaitlyn took out some straps and began to secure the box to the back of the sled. She then lined the box with a big, heavy duty garbage bag.
 
8     All Lindsey could do was watch. "What's that for?" Lindsey asked.
