Halloween is coming up, and with it comes the time of trick or treating and candy giving. I always have fun on Halloween, because something weird or funny always happens...
One year, I was going trick-or-treating with a bunch of my friends. So, we met up at Starbucks then started off into our neighborhood with our buckets in our hands. That year, I was a Greek goddess and the others consisted of cats, zombies, and hippies. The first house we went to gave us three fistfuls of candy each plus a cookie. It was a great start. The next houses we went to gave us more or less the same amount and we ecstatic about our progress. The neighborhood was well known for candy giving, and we were in luck, although, we really don't eat most of it. We walked up to the next house and one of my friend's knocked on the door. It was I while before someone opened the door and when they did, an elderly man opened the door. We asked trick-or-treat and after he had a good look at us, he scooped his hand in his bowl, and tossed in our buckets... rocks. Hard, heavy, rocks. When the friend who had knocked asked why he would give us rocks, he grabbed him by the shoulder, shoved him in the house, and promptly shut the door behind him. We were shocked and started yelling for help while we hitting our fists against the door. Then, when we found an adult to call 911, he door opened and there stood our friend grinning with the elderly man next to him also with a bemused smile. He quickly explained that the man was his grandfather and he had had this idea to scare us with this prank. His grandfather, an old prankster, had agreed to the idea and pulled it off. We laughed our heads off and to make it up for us, he had made some brownies and let us eat before moving on. In the end, our day was successful, we got pranked and laughed our heads off.
Lesson: Always be careful of the pranks that your friends might pull on Halloween.
