Так бывает - станешь взрослее ты И, как птица, ввысь улетишь, Кем бы ни был, знай, что для мамы ты - Как и прежде, милый малыш. Мама - первое слово, Главное слово в каждой судьбе Мама жизнь подарила, Мир подарила мне и тебе.

The most popular customs of Halloween. Fire has always played an important part in Halloween. In the old days people lit bonfires to keep away evil spirits and some places they used to jump over the fire to bring good luck. The most known custom is the tradition of dressing costumes. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their houses. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people wore masks so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, people placed bowls of food outside their homes to prevent the ghosts from attempting to enter their home.

Halloween was sometimes called Nut crack Night or Snap Apple Night in England. Families would sit by the fire and tell stories while they ate apples and nuts. Today, we light candles in pumpkin and then put them outside our homes to ward of evil spirits. Trick or Treat was first known as mischief Night. Halloween was a time for making mischief - many parts of England still recognize this dare as Mischief Night - when children would knock on doors demanding a treat (Trick or Treat) and people would disguise themselves as witches or ghosts, in order to obtain food and money from nervous householders.

On this day children enjoy singing songs. Knock, Knock, Trick Or Treat? Knock knock, trick or treat? Who are you? I'm a ghost. I'm a little ghost. Knock knock, trick or treat? Who are you?

My eyes are gold, My fur is black, I hiss and spit, And arch my back. My claws are sharp. I might attack! My hat is black, My face is green, My laugh is mean. I ride a broom On Halloween. Who am I? Like to stay Just out of sight. If you see me, I might be white. I float through houses In the black of night... I fly at night, I hunt by sound, I live in a cave, And sleep upside down. People are scared, They shouldnt be. I eat mice and bugs. Please, dont hurt me HALLOWEEN RIDDLES I grew on a vine, Right on the ground. I have a big smile, My face is round
