Story 5. Just One More House.
The cold wind blew through the trees, but Eddie was warm in his cowboy costume.
Let's go, he said.
His mom walked with him to the first house.
He rang the doorbell and said, Trick or treat!
The woman at the door gave Eddie a piece of candy.
He put it in his bag.
He walked from house to house for hours collecting lots of candy.
Let's go home now, said Mom.
Your brother was sad that he couldn't come.
Just one more house, Eddie said.
He walked to the next house and got another piece of candy.
Let's go home now, said Mom.
Your brother is homesick.
Just one more house, Eddie said as he walked to the next house.
He got another piece of candy.
Let's go home now, said Mom again.
We've been gone too long.
Eddie ran all the way home.
He kicked off his cowboy boots and ran to his brother's room.
Then he dumped his bag of candy on his brother's bed.
I got these for you, he said.
Happy Halloween!
