  1. Halloween night is a very joyful night for the children, They would be a lot of fun on that night, they would have an apple hanging up and they would try to catch it with there mouth, and it would be a very hard thing to do, and then putting nuts in the fire try would they fly out of it. In the olden times they used to be no fun like now but now there is lots of fun, and the childrend would get a bucket of water and put sixpence into it and try to get it with there mouth, that is Halloween.
