October 31 is Halloween. On that night, children wear funny costumes and enjoy visiting their neighbours, who give "them" sweets and snacks. If not, the children play a trick on "them". People have parties and everyone has fun. Halloween is a very old festival. Over two thousand years ago people in Europe hated winter because the weather was cold and dark, and "they"
did mot have enough. There were also good witches, however, and at Halloween, they had big parties to which thousands of ordinary people came as well. People danced, got married, ate a lot, and talked about magic "they" do not usually wear the witch's costumes that lots of little girls to wear on Halloween Night.
