Oh dear. What a mess!
Perhaps I should juggle cans of pineapple.
Hm, I don't think that's a good idea.
Remember the bricks?
Oh. Sometimes.
You need to juggle something that's not so dangerous.
How about marshmallows?
I've tried that.
And?
I ate them all.
Hmm.
I know, lemons!
Yes, lemons!
Great.
And I happen to know just the place to get some.
Come on.
Uh-- Why are we going that way, Eddy?
It's the shortest way to get to Edna's lemon ice stand.
We can't go that way.
Sure we can. Come on.
No thanks, Eddy.
I'll just go around the other way.
Other way? But it's right up here, just past the--
No, no, no. Don't say it!
Don't say what?
Haunted house?
I guess I'm going the long way around.
W-wait up, Elizabeth!
...and I think she was too scared
to go past the haunted house.
DIAMONDSPoor dear.
She won't even say the words "haunted house."
She calls it "that place."
I've been in there a thousand times. It's not even scary.
STRIPESHere's my theory.
When she was just a piglet, a whale tried to swallow her.
You never know.
Well I'm sure she wouldn't be scared
if she saw what was in there.

What happened?
She had haunted-house nightmares again.
The poor dear.
I sure wish there was something we could do to help her.
Not much we can do, Eddy.
Just be supportive and keep her away from that haunted house.
JACKI can never remember.
Are you supposed to wake someone when they're sleepwalking?
Yes. If they're heading for a busy street, or a cliff,
you should wake them.
Aw, she'll be all right then.
Who?
Elizabeth. She's wandering around the midway
over by the haunted house.
The haunted house??
