Bagel excitedly tried on his new bat costume all ready for Halloween! He had a little trouble zipping the costume up over his tum—perhaps he’d had too many helpings of his Mum’s delicious shepherd’s pie followed by apple crumble and custard! Bagel admired his reflection in the mirror. He cautiously experimented with a few fierce, bat-like roars but they came out as little more than squeaks. Turning from the mirror, he was startled to see Aurora Aria standing just inside the door. "Your mum let me in," explained Aurora Aria. "I see you're all set for Halloween!"

Bagel and Aurora Aria sampled the candy corn in the splendid and ornate tasting room. Aurora Aria slipped away to explore, and was presently heard thumping out Chopsticks on the grand piano in the presentation room next door.

"It got very cold in that room all of a sudden," she explained somewhat indistinctly through a mouthful of delicious marsh-mallow flavoured confectionery.

"We haven't tried the pink candy corn yet," remarked Bagel. "Let's have some now!" He opened a new packet and offered it round to his companions, then tried it himself. "Hmm. It tastes a bit strange—not like the stuff we had in the tasting room." Husky was also looking doubtful. "This doesn't taste like our candy corn at all!"
While rambling from house to house, you met Ada.
Aurora Aria shook paws with Ada the Astonishing Helper Ant. They both received one silver mole!

Once inside, the sound of wailing guided them to the kitchen. Cautiously, they peered through the partly open door. A horrific scene greeted them. Several young pets had been captured, tagged, and were being forced to make batches of candy corn, into which the spooks then inserted their particular brand of poison. The formerly spotless, hygienic kitchen was a hideous mess! Sibilant, yet piercing speech met their ears. "If you want to be let go in the morning, work harder!" hissed one spook. "It will be sssuch a pleasure to push you out of the door after tonight, and not to have to lisssten to your ceassselessss wailing sssounds any longer," jeered the other in a brain-penetrating whisper.

Husky drew the other two back away from the kitchen door, formulating in his mind a comprehensive plan to fetch help and rescue the young pets. "Here's what we'll do," he whispered. But he had reckoned without Bagel! The young hippo had never in his whole life been so angry! How dare those horrible spooks treat little pets in such a cruel way whilst plotting to harm them with their evil poison syringes! Without stopping to think, he flung the kitchen door wide and marched in. He drew himself up to his full height and summoning all his strength he took a deep breath—and roared with the ferocity of ten enraged lions at once!

"Where on earth did that roar come from?" he gasped. Husky was speechless for a moment. "Perhaps eating the poisoned candy corn gave you a certain power?" he suggested. "You mean it'll wear off? That's a shame in a way— it would be so handy sometimes!" responded Bagel.

"Perhaps it's time to stop relying on Mum and Dad to do everything for me and start to carve my own path." They spent the rest of the journey discussing possible future career plans for Bagel and how he might become more independent.
