LAST autumn my parents were studying in Canada, and brought me over with them.
去年秋天,我的父母在加拿大学习,并把我带过去。
It was soon my birthday. Then came Halloween. Once I asked Mum why there was Halloween. She told me a lot about ghosts. I couldn't remember it all. I just remember that many children put on interesting clothes on that day. They go from door to door and ask for sweets.
很快我的生日。然后是万圣节。有一次我问妈妈为什么有万圣节。她告诉我许多有关鬼。我不记得这一切。我只记得,许多孩子穿上有趣的衣服的那一天。他们挨家挨户索要糖果。
"Sweets are like good words for the dead," Mum told me. "The more the better. They can help the dead go to a better place."
“糖果是死的好的话,“妈妈告诉我的。越多越好。他们可以帮助死者去了一个更好的地方。
One day before Halloween, Mum bought me witches' clothes. They were black, with a hat.
万圣节的前一天,妈妈给我买了女巫的衣服。他们是黑色的,带一顶帽子。
The next day, at about 6:30 pm, I went out with my parents.

It was dark. Many people got together around a house. They were asking for sweets. Lots of children were dressed in different clothes.

I pushed in and reached out my hand. I got some.

I was so happy when I looked at the colourful sweets. But there were so few.

I decided to go with them. I wanted more.

After some time I had enough. I started to look around to see what Canadians do at Halloween.

The houses were so different! Some were made very scary. There were life-like skeletons(骷髅) on the fences. There were graves in the gardens. Bat-like clothes flew in the wind. But some weren't so scary.
房子是如此不同!有些是很可怕的。有生活就像骷髅(骷髅)在栅栏。在花园里有坟墓。蝙蝠喜欢的衣服在风中飞。但一些不那么可怕。
When I went home that day, I found out my sweets could fill a whole big box!
