Halloween
Halloween is on October 31st. Halloween has been a festival for more than 2000 years
now! The people of the Celts had a New Year’s party on November 1st. They said that the
Year has two parts: summer and winter. So when summer ended and winter started they
celebrated.
They thought that in the night before winter dead people, witches and ghosts come to the
world and play tricks. They wanted that the ghosts, witches and dead people go away. So
they had costumes to scare them. They also made fires. They cut faces in pumpkins and

put candles inside. They said the name of the pumpkins with candles inside is “Jack-o’Lantern”.
Today on Halloween children wear costumes. They are ghosts, witches or skeletons. They
go from house to house and say “Trick or Treat”. When people don’t give them
a treat (sweets) they play a trick.
Teenagers often have Halloween parties. They wear costumes, too.
Normally the one with the best costume gets a prize. And there are
contests for cutting a scary face into a pumpkin, too.

Walk Into My Parlor
by Mary Howitt
„Will you walk into my parlor?“
said the spider to the fly;
„Tis the prettiest little parlor that you ever did spy.
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to show when you are there.“
„Oh no, no!“ said the little fly,
„to ask me is in vain;
For who goes up your winding stair
can never come down again.“

The story of Jack-o’-Lantern
Once there was a man. His name was Jack. Jack was not a
good man. One day the devil came to him to take him to hell.
“Oh, no”, said Jack. “Please, let me have one last drink.”
“Ok,” said the devil.
“I don’t have money”, said Jack. “Can you give me a sixpence?”

The devil had no money, but he turned himself into a coin.
Jack put the coin into his wallet. There was a silver cross and
the devil could not get out.
“Don’t come after me for another year”, Jack said, “if you agree, I’ll let you go.”
When the year was over the devil came again. Jack said: “Please devil, let me eat one last apple!
Can you pick one for me?”
But when the devil climbed on the tree, Jack cut a cross in the bark and the devil could not get
off. “If you agree never to take my soul, I’ll let you go.”
So the devil promised never to come to Jack again.
One day Jack died. He was a bad man all his life. So he could not go to heaven. And he could not
go to hell – because of the devil’s promise.
So his soul wandered lonely on earth at night. The devil felt sorry for him and gave him a burning
coal. Jack put this coal in a pumpkin to light his way.
