THE SPOOKY SCARY NIGHT
Let’s talk about Halloween, this scary night is celebrated on the 31st October but before talking about what people do let’s talk about the origins …
It does all begin with Stingy Jack, a bad guy who is joking everyone, his family and even the devil itself. One day, he makes the devil climb up in an apple tree and trappes him so he can’t go down.Then he makes him swear that he won’t take his soul when he dies when stingy Jack dies he is not accepted to go to heaven because he was to mean with other people, then he goes to hell where he is also refused because the devil can’t take his soul so he is stuck between hell and paradise with a turnip.
Sins this day kids wear costumes and make scary faces out of pumpkins.

A Poem to Remember…
Remember, remember the 31st of October
When the Tricky Jack
Was all in black
Trapped in the middle
His only friend was a vegetable
When the kids come
In front of your home
Don’t be afraid
They just want to be paid
With sweets
So just be sweet
People wear costumes which are scary
People give them candy
Trick or Treat
The pumpkin light
Shines in the night
It’s a fright
