When Halloween arrives, you know there is bound to be some mischief (恶作剧). So I wasn’t entirely surprised when I opened my front door that night to see my candy bowl completely—and very suddenly— 1 . To be fair, this was after some light rain had 2 the street of most trick-or-treaters and the youngest had already made the rounds. I never saw who took it, but I did shout “Happy Halloween!” into the night air.
Was a candy theft ideal? Nope. But, hey, we all make 3 —especially as kids. What did 4 me was what appeared in front of my door the next evening: a plastic bag filled with the lost candy. Stuck to it was the following handwritten note:
“Hello, I am the kid that took all of your candy. After thinking it over I want to 5 . Because it was late and no one else was out, I thought it was OK. It was not. I took the candy before you said it was 6 . So, I am sorry, and I’d like to give the candy back. Maybe you can give it to a kid who is more 7 .”
A tiny Halloween miracle! I have never been prouder of a kid who wasn’t mine. I assume a parent had something to do with this sudden reflective 8 , but I’ll never know for sure.
What I do hope is that this kid knows how good it can feel to 9 a wrong. I hope they don’t think they’re bad—simply that they made a not-so-great choice. They do deserve to get their fill and have fun and run wild. 10 , next year they’ll come back for more.
