What is the theme of "Judging by
Appearances"?
Judging by Appearances
by Emilie Poulsson
Things are not always the way they
seem.
Pumpkins look very similar to the Moon.
An old Jack-o'-Lantern lay on the ground:
He looked at the Moon-Man, yellow and round.
The old Jack-o'-lantern gazed and he gazed,
And still as he looked he grew more amazed.
Then said Jack-o'-lantern, "How can it be
That fellow up there looks so much like me?
"I s'pose he must be a brother of mine,
And somebody cut him, too, from the vine,
Strange things may happen at night.
Special times can be a lot of fun.
"He looks very grand up there in the sky:
But I know just how 'twill be, by and by
"He's proud of his shining, I have no doubt,
But just wait until his candle goes out!"
