Is pumpkin a fruit?

In Friday English class, we first read a story
from Chicken Soup.

Then we enjoyed a crossword puzzle on Halloween
in the last ten minutes.

The crossword was easy but I was surprised
at the hint as to ‘pumpkin.’

The hint was “large round orange-colored fruit. ”

According to Longman English-English dictionary,

“pumpkin is a very large orange fruit that grows
on the ground, or the inside of this fruit eaten as food.”



I love pumpkin anyway--
Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Pie
or Pumpkin Soup.
