swings and the big skeleton throws a stick for the dog skeleton. The dog was running to catch the stick, ran in to a tree, and broke into pieces. The big and little skeleton try and put him back together. After a while, they successfully put the dog back together. They leave the park and on the way home they forgot that they wanted to scare someone, but nobody was awake. They decided they would scare eachother because it would be better than nothing. So all the way home they scare each other.
