October comes and Halloween quickly approaches. It is the time when people gather the harvest (урожай). Legends say that the worlds of the living and the dead come close during this time. The spirits of the dead, fairies (феи), witches and goblins (гоблины) have a celebration in the night. The children spend time preparing for Halloween. They take pumpkins and carve (вырезают) jack-o-lanterns (фонарики) out of them. They listen to the stories of the mischievous goblin that sneaks into homes and puts salt in the sugar bowls, opens all the windows and hides everyone's clothes. The children learn that people use the jack-o-lanterns to scare off the mischievous goblins; they place them at the doorsteps and in the windows! On the day of the festival, classrooms in England are magically transformed and there are a lot of jack-o-lanterns. The children are surprised to find a witch at school. The witch tells them stories. The children come in simple home made costumes. They welcome adventure, mystery, beauty, magic, and mischief.
