     Autumn has arrived in Corona. Every year around this time, Varian and Opal make a trip to Old Corona to help the townspeople with the harvest. Opal always looks forward to pumpkin picking the most, the bigger the better!

"Okay, I'm ready to go!" Opal announces.

Varian turns around to see his daughter has climbed atop a stack of rather large pumpkins. "What are you doing, Little Gem?" He asks, smiling fondly.

"I wanna take these punkins back home to Mommy!" Opal says excitedly. "They're the best! And they're huge!"

"Yes, they are... huge," Varian says. "But, uh, I don't think we need quite that many. How about we just take one?"

Opal looks slightly disappointed, until she notices one lying nearby. "Ooh ooh, that one!" She says, pointing.

"Perfect," Varian says, lifting up the pumpkin. "I'm sure your mother will love it."
