Dear Jack Wonshop,

I read a story about a girl named Reba jo and a Horned Toad. Reba jo was out riding her horse in the desert lassoing animals. Then her hat blow off her head, and it landed in a old wishing well. When she was getting mader a little horned toad said “what’s the matter senorita.

Reba jo said “ My new hat flew off my head into this gosh darn well”. So the horned toad made a deal with Reba jo that if he got her hat he would get to eat some of her chilie, a song from her, and he could get a nap on her hat. Reba jo said “ no way bucko”. If she didn’t make it a deal the horned toad wouldn’t get her hat for her, but the horned toad got it for Reba jo.

So Reba jo rode off on her horse back to her house and left the horned toad alone stuck in the well. After a little bit of time the horned toad appeared at her front door and Reba jo opened the door and saw the horned toad and slammed the door on him. So the horned toad knocked on the door again and Reba jo’s dad opened the door and said “ come on in”. Reba jo did not like that her dad let him come in.

The horned toad asked “Is that my chilli”? So Reba jo slid the chilli to him in anger. He ate ALL of it. Then the horned toad said “Time for my song”. So Reba jo sang him a lullaby and he fell asleep on her hat.

After a long nap he said “ Just one more favor “. What do you want now said Reba jo. I want a kiss said the Horned toad. Reba jo said “ I’m not kissing you low life reptile”, but only if you leave right away . “Ok” said the Horned toad. So Reba jo kissed him and WOOSH! He went in the air twirling like a tornado and he turned into a beautiful prince. Reba jo had the most shocking face could ever see. She said “hhh HOW”! The prince said “ I had a spell on me and a kiss would break it and now I’m off on my journey”. “WAIT! Said Reba jo why do you have to go. “A deal is a deal so I have to leave, Bye.

Sincerely, Kane
