Jack Skellington faces the citizens of Halloween Town. He was mischievous. "Everyone, I must confess...I have saved the best for last...for the ruler of this Christmas land...It was the fearsome king...with his deep mighty voice...Least that is what I have come to understand...And also I have heard it was told...that he was something to behold...The leader of that Christmas Town is huge and red...like a lobster...He has sets out to slay with his rain gear on...carting bulging sacks...with his great...big...arms...That is so...I have heard it has said..." he explained.

The entire audience was awestruck to the Pumpkin King's words.

Sally was curious with Jack. Even the Pumpkin King had go to the place such as Christmas Town. Is everything that Jack have mentioned to everyone was true? I mean, the leader of Christmas Town has lobster claws? Is that by his meaning of the ruler's great big arms? Who knows...

Jack gestured above his skull. "And on a dark...cold...night...on the full moon night...he flew into the fog...like the vulture in the sky..." he said.

The whole crowd are anxious with their smiles about the Christmas Town leader.

Jack faced everyone. The skeleton was ghastly with his grin. "This ruler of Christmas land has a name...They have called him...SANDY CLAWS..." he uttered. Jack chuckled wickedly.

The residents of Halloween Town claps and applauds. Some of the citizens shouts out and whispers.

The Pumpkin King backs away from the podium. The skeleton bows a few times to them. He was delighted. "Thank you for your time in the town meeting. Goodnight, everyone." Jack concluded.

The gray curtains closes in front of the Pumpkin King. The skeleton turns around. Jack was melancholy. "Well at least they are excited, but they don't understand..." he whispered.

Jack picked up the snow globe. The skeleton shakes it a couple times. He was cheerful. "That special kind of feeling in Christmas land..." Jack said quietly.

The skeleton puts the snow globe down. Inside of the snow globe, there was the snowman. And the snowflakes fell gradually on top of it.

He took a deep breath. The skeleton was confident yet perplexed. "Oh well..." Jack whispers.

The Pumpkin King watches the snowflakes falling on the snowman. He has something in his mind.

Jack wanted to know more about the Christmas holiday that he discovered.
