Halloween was her favourite day of the year. She found it more fun than Christmas, because she got so many more presents, in the form of candy. And she also found it more fun than her birthday, because on Halloween, everyone dressed up and had a party, not just Amy! somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580305 2017-10-30 02:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580305 On the 31st, Amy rushed home from school, and found her costume laid out on her bed, all ready to wear. Her mom had stayed up late the night before working on it. Now it was ready, and it looked perfect! Amy loved the Winnie the Pooh stories, and this year, she was going to be Tigger, the bouncy, happy tiger. Her mom had found the perfect orange and black fabric for her costume, which also matched with the orange and black colors of Halloween. somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580352 2017-10-30 02:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580352 After Amy's mom had painted whiskers on Amy's face, the two of them set off to explore the neighborhood. Amy's mom had cleverly sewn a pouch into the Tigger costume, where Amy could store her candy. They went around her block and then ended up near a park, where a lot of kids were playing in their Halloween costumes. A small house stood at the center of the park. Amy wanted to go closer and investigate. A plaque next to the house said this was the "Old Stone House," built in 1699. somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580377 2017-10-30 02:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580377 "That's more than three hundred years ago!" Amy said to her mother. "Does anyone live there now?" somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580400 2017-10-30 02:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580400 Amy was a little nervous, so she held onto her mother's hand as they walked up to the door. They knocked. No response. Amy tried again, this time more loudly. She thought she heard voices inside. Children's voices?Amy tried pushing the door open and was startled when it moved! Why wasn't the house locked? Who was inside it? Still clutching her mother's hand, Amy began exploring. "Hello?" she called out. "Anybody home?" somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580431 2017-10-30 02:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580431 Silence. "Trick or treat?"she tried. Amy and her mother walked all around the house, upstairs and downstairs. It was dark, and there were no light switches. It was hard to make out much detail, but Amy could imagine that a family had lived there three hundred years before. There was clearly no candy to be had, so they decided to leave. Right as Amy was shutting the door, she swore she saw a little girl, very pale, run past her in the living room. "Come back soon!" the girl whispered to Amy, which gave Amy the chills. somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580459 2017-10-30 02:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201580459 ********** Instruction ************* Continue the story with another paragraph of about 100 words to make a different ending somrurk https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201581268 2017-10-30 03:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/somrurk/2p2sifap42kk/wish/201581268 "It's Halloween," her mother said.
