Chapter 3
Mr. Crepsley swung the axe and sliced right through his target. He dropped the axe and caught the tree.
" What's this for again" Evra asked.
Darren opened his mouth to answer, but Mr. Crepsley cut him off. "Darren, help me" Darren grabbed the other half and they started back down the hill. Evra carried back the axe
" The tree is like….a…..symbol or something for Christmas. It represents togetherness" Darren said trying to sound smart.
" Why use a tree? Sure, a tree is used as a symbol, but a tree is still just a plain old tree" said Evra. " Why not use a rabbit and a basket of eggs"
" That's Easter again"
" Strange customs humans have" Mr. Crepsley said. "Such as the holiday they celebrate on October 31. Children dress up as monsters to scare people into giving them candy. And they say something that parallel to 'give me candy or I will vandalize your home with toilet paper' "
Darren and Evra couldn't help but try to hold their laughing at Mr. Crepsley's rant. They soon arrived at the campsite of the Cirque. Mr. Crepsley propped it up in the center of the clearing and left.
" Okay so we have the tree, what else is there" Evra asked.
" We need decorations and presents" Darren replied.
" I think Mr. Tall has some somewhere"
"Lets ask him"
" Another thing" Evra said. " Tell me again the difference between Easter and Christmas."
