Page 1: Observations
''Being named for its prominence in the upper echelons of pumpkin head society. These creatures know of learning, and all are dedicated to the pursuit of some form of knowledge. For those who know the most success, there is a reward: a star-shaped lantern. In recent years, their intellect has advanced by leaps and bounds, causing some natural philosophers to fear a coming clash with our civilization in the days to come.''

Page 2: A Curious Treasure
''There once lived a young boy who was wont to study even as the sun fell and the moon rose. In time, people came to call him a sage. Born to a farm, he took a pumpkin grown from his own patch and made of it a lantern, thereby reading at night when all of his daily duties were discharged. So did the boy grow in knowledge until he was wise. Therefore do we say that the light of the pumpkin is a symbol of great learning, and so has the jack-o'-lantern become a favored affectation of scholars.''
