    The boys and girls have great fun lighting fires and boiling eggs. When the eggs are boiled they throw them up in the air.
    There is another great festival called Halloween and we all eat apples and nuts. Sometimes we play games hanging apples to the roof and trying to catch it with our mouth.
    The boys go about throwing cabbages at every one’s door.
    These are the three greatest festivals Christmas, Easter and Halloween.
