  A boy discovers a toe in his yard, digs it up, and gives it to his mom, who decides to make soup out of it before his pops cuts it into thirds for supper. That night, the nine-digit ghoul demands to know, "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" The story ends with advice on how to scare your friends while telling it, plus an alternate ending. According to the notes in the back of the book, this one comes from the south where it's apparently okay to eat parts of dead human feet.
