When the Charlottetown newspaper prints a paragraph about how the mighty Day of Judgement may come on the twelfth at two in the afternoon, all the cousins and friends don’t know whether to be frightened or not. They all spend a long time searching their souls and making last-minute preparations for that great and dreadful day, whether it comes or not. Maybe we should all prepare--- just in case!

But there are still adventures for all the cousins before their aunts, uncles, and parents arrive. A dark orchard can still be a bit frightening after everyone’s imagination is stimulated by the Story Girl. And will the Story Girl’s cooking skills ever come close to Felicity’s? Certainly, she can make a simple cornmeal pudding, or can she? But culinary prowess or not, she sure can tell a great story! Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
