Once upon a chilly Halloween night, in the small town of Gravestone Hollow, miniature ghouls and goblins roamed the quiet streets, their canvas bags swelling with sweet treats. Among this craven crew was Bucky, dressed as a portly pumpkin, and his best friend, Sally, disguised as an adorably spooky ghost.
Every year, their uniquely decorated buckets would brim with candies, save for one house. Old Lady Harriet’s domicile was a gloomy mansion, shrouded in a perpetual shadow. The tale among the children was that Harriet’s treats were terrifyingly terrible, hence everyone gave her house a wide berth.
Yet, this year, adventurous Bucky urged Sally, and they both approached the forbidding mansion. As they rang the doorbell, eerie creaks echoed through the house. Then, the door swung open, revealing Old Lady Harriet, her warm smile a stark contrast to their expectations.
Instead of a measly treat, they each received an enormous, gourmet chocolate. In their elation, Bucky and Sally shared their surprising find with their friends. The legendary house was now the highlight of their Halloween adventure.
And so, the moral of this story transpired: never judge a house by its eerie exterior, especially on Halloween, because the best treats often come in the spookiest wrappers.
