MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten you on Halloween
Script
Susan: Hey Kim! Are you okay? You seem badly shaken. Where did you go'?
Kim: Just to the corner, but I'm frightened out of my wits, scared silly, terrified.
Susan: What happened? You said you were only going to the store for a coke.
Kim: People in funny costumes and masks everywhere! Some in tall, pointed hats.
Susan: It's October 31 st, Halloween, the day for dressing like witches and ghosts.
Kim: In the store window is a big vegetable with a carved face and candle inside.
Susan: It's a pumpkin. A face and a candle burning inside make it a Jack o' Lantern.
Kim: A crowd of children followed me shouting, "Tickle your feet." Imagine!
Susan: No, they said, "Trick or Treat?" They were hoping you'd give them candy.
Kim: Welt, it's a funny kind of holiday. What's it called? Halloween?
Susan: Yeah, it's one of the oldest holidays in the West. Today it's mostly for children.
Kim: I myself would never dress like a ghost and shout, "Tickle your feet." |
