Ad for Baby Ruth candy bars, featuring a limerick about Gerald the Giraffe and Baby Ruth candy, which goes as follows:

Gerald's big ears are almost like wings
Atop his long neck they are curious things
While he can't speak a word,
He can always be heard
Give him one Baby Ruth... and he sings.

Subject Matter
fantasy, humorous
Casper the Friendly Ghost; Wendy the Good Little Witch; pair of lovebirds; Mr. and Mrs. Honey Bear; the Man in the Moon; packs of Earth-mice; lady squirrel
Hurry! It's the friendly piper.
On an otherwise beautiful night, the denizens of the Enchanted Forest, including Wendy, are all sad and blue. Even the Moon is blue. Casper flies to the Moon to learn the cause of the blue-epidemic. He finds that the Man in the Moon is blue and, when the Man in the Moon is blue, everything else also becomes blue. It seems that the Moon has been invaded by large packs of Earth-mice who make the Man in the Moon miserable (or blue). Casper "pied-pipers" the mice back to Earth, causing the denizens of the Enchanted Forest to not only remain blue over this development... but become scared as well.

To Spooky, the friendliest ghost of the year!

An annoyed Old Sol turns up the heat on Spooky with such intensity that the tuff little ghost ends the story seared pink - a ghost's equivalent of severe sunburn - and completely bandaged for his protection.
