Halloween Adventure

This story happened long, long ago. People lived happily and knew nothing about evil spirits. But there was a special time when ghosts, witches, monsters and all spooky creatures gathered together to celebrate an exclusive holiday. Throughout 10 years they were absolutely inoffensive, but one day a heated argument broke out. The overwhelming majority of evil spirits thirsted for the reins of government over mankind:

“We are the real power in this crazy world. We’ll ruin everything on our way. Those human creatures will suffer and cry every minute, every second”, - said the most influential ghost.

“We will frighten people, will hear their screams and will fill their souls with horror of coming end”, - said the main witch.

Ultimately, it was decided to capture the humanity on the 31^st of October. So all horrible creatures began to search for the first victims. A small imperceptible house caught their eyes. They hurried to the long-awaited prey. A little naïve boy was left quite alone at home and was playing with his tedious toys. When the enormous crowd of evil spirits burst into his room, he grew interested in those amusing people and wasn’t even a little bit frightened. Ghosts, skeletons, mummies and other members of the crowd began to emit scary sounds, but the child began to laugh himself into convulsions. Evil spirits became dumbfounded and couldn’t come to their senses. The boy wanted to satisfy his curiosity, so he began to feel, pull and poke them. All spooky creatures didn’t expect such further developments and being in a state of shock they showed a clean pair of heels.

Not long after the parents and relatives of the boy came home with presents. The child ran to them and said:

“It was the most unusual surprise you had ever made on my birthday. You’ve played your terrible roles perfectly. My friends won’t take on trust that such a show was made in my honour”.
