A boy was digging at the
edge of the garden when he saw a big toe
he tried to pick it up but it was stuck
to something so he gave it a good hard
jerk and it came off in his hand then he
heard something groan and scamper away
the boy took the toe into the kitchen
and showed it to his mother it looks
nice and plump she said I’ll put it in
the soap and we’ll have it for supper
that night his father carved the toe
into three pieces and they each had a
piece then they did the dishes and when
it got dark they went to bed the boy
fell asleep almost at once but in the
middle of the night a sound awakened him
it was something out in the street it
was a voice and it was calling to him
where is my toe it groaned when the boy
heard that he got very scared
but he thought it doesn’t know where I
am
it will never find me
then he heard the voice once more only
now it was closer where his my toe he’d
groaned the boy pulled the blankets over
his head and closed his eyes I’ll go to
sleep he thought that when I wake up it
will be gone but soon he heard the back
door opened and again he heard the voice
where is my home it grown then the boy
heard footsteps moved through the
kitchen into the dining room into the
living room into the front hall then
slowly
the stairs closer and closer they came
soon they were in the upstairs Hall now
they were outside his door where is my
toe the voice groaned his door opened
shaking with fear he listened as the
footsteps slowly moved through the dark
toward his bed then they stopped “where
is my toe” the voice groaned
you’ve got it don’t you!
