I remember my first Halloween. It was a cold evening, 31 October, 1988 I was A far from my
home country, B my British neighbours whose kids were very C about that day. I was thinking
about my family when, suddenly, there was an energetic knock at the door. I opened the door wondering
who was there knocking D loudly. To my surprise I saw a group of kids, dressed up as ghosts,
witches, queens and cowboys. Two of them were carrying a E with cut out eyes, a nose and a mouth.
There was a candle inside, and the holes were shining. “Trick or treat!” they shouted. I was surprised. I
didn’t know what to do. My son Tom, told me, “Give them some sweets, Mummy, or they will play a
trick on us.” “Like what?” I asked. “They can throw water on the windows, put a pin into the front door
keyhole or break an egg on the windscreen of your car”, he explained.
