• • Halloween is a holiday on Oct. 31. 2000 years ago, Celts celebrated the harvest and believed the spirits of the dead people appeared on this day. In order to cheer the ghosts, the witch would hold a ceremony to keep the ghost away from people. People went out with masks to frighten the ghosts. Today, kids celebrate Halloween by dressing up as vampires and skeletons. They also tell ghost stories, have parties, and make Jake o’ Lantern with a pumpkin. Halloween becomes children’s favorite holiday.
Trick or Treat! Thank you.
One day, Jack invited the Devil to have a drink. When it’s time to pay, Jack convinced the Devil to change into a sixpence. Jack put the money in his pocket. The Devil could not change back. Jack asked the Devil not to bother him anymore. The Devil said “O. K” and Jack let him free. Next Halloween, Jack died and went to Hell. The Devil asked him to go away. It was dark and Jack couldn’t find his way. The devil gave Jack a burning coal and Jack put it into a pumpkin. He made this lantern to light his way. The story says Jack is still walking with the lantern to find a place to stay. • Devil 惡魔 • bother 打擾 • Coal 煤 • lantern 燈籠
