all superstitions, not real stories, but it gets people into the spirit of Halloween.
3.________For instance, children start roaming the neighborhood until around 6 p.m. and usually continue ringing door bells and knocking on doors until around 9 p.m.. Also, there is an unwritten rule that children should only go to houses that have outside lights on as a signal that the children are welcome to come and “trickortreat ”. In addition, after shouting “trickortreat”, the children’s expectation is that they will be showered with tasty delicious sweet candy. Chocolate seems to be the favorite choice. Last but not least, supermarkets and drugstores carry a wide variety of sweets just for Halloween. One quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween. Americans spend an estimated 6 billion dollars, thus making it the second largest commercial holiday.
4.________This gourdlike orange fruit gets inscribed with ghoulish faces and is frequently illuminated with candles. The practice of decorating a “jacko’lantern( 南瓜灯 )” comes from an Irish folk legend about a man named “Stingy Jack” who tricked the devil a couple of times. When “Jack” died, God did not want such a person in heaven, thus throwing “Jack” back to the devil who in turn punished Jack. Jack’s punishment was to forever roam the earth with a coal burning inside the gourd. Just for this very reason you can find a number of carved pumpkins hanging on the doorsteps or on the porches everywhere.
