- Jack O the Lantern was a light that used shine in one place and then another to put people astray. One dark night a man was coming close to his own house and he saw a light on the top of his own hill and he followed it but all of a sudden it shown in another hill very far away. The man followed it and he went astray. He at once thought of a plan and did it. He would turned his coat inside out and he found his way safely home. He never again was put astray by Jack O the Lantern.
