Slappy- No Talking

“This is impossible!” Mr. Foreman cried. He gaped at the dummy. “You can’t talk!”
“Neither can you!” Slappy shrieked. He waved his hands in the air and shouted out a string of strange words.
Mr. Foreman’s mouth locked open. His eyes bulged wide.
The dummy tossed back his head and uttered another cackling laugh.
“What’s wrong, dude?” he cried. “Slappy got your tongue? Hahahaha!”
...

“Stop! Let us go!” Mr. Foreman could speak again. He shouted above the din of the marching shoes.
“Hope you guys enjoy your holidays!” Slappy cried. “Knock on wood! Hahaha!”
He dropped to the floor and ran out the door.
