Conversation about 4 people talking about Halloween

Patrick: Wow! Today is October 30th! Halloween is tomorrow already! Have you decided
what you will be dressing up for Halloween yet, Sara?

Sara: Im not sure what I want to be yet. I want to be either a butterfly or a pumpkin. But
why do we dress up for Halloween?

Patrick: Halloween is a festival for children, and costumes make it more special. I think we
have much more fun going from house to house asking for candies (trick-or-treating) after
sunset dressed in our favourite costumes.

Sara: Yes, I remember having a lot of fun last year when mom took me around in a bunny
outfit. Do you know what you want to be yet, Patrick?

Patrick: I want to be Batman! I like wearing the cape and the mask. I think you should be a
butterfly. You are so much shorter than me, and dressed in a pumpkin costume, someone
might think you really are one and try to make a pie out of you.

Sara: How could anyone mistake me for a real pumpkin? Real pumpkins do not have a head
or arms or legs. But I suppose I will be a butterfly anyway. I can have pretty wings.

Patrick: Great! So you will be a butterfly and I will be Batman. Lets go ask Mom if we can
go trick-or-treating tomorrow night by ourselves. Although you are still young, I think I am old
enough to watch over the both of us.

Sara: OK, lets go ask mom!

Patrick: MOM! Can Sara and I go trick-or-treating by ourselves tomorrow? I can watch
over Sara and make sure she stays out of trouble.

Sara: Yes, Mom. If we go by ourselves, then you can stay home and relax. You will not have
to get cold waiting for us.

Mom: Thank you for offering, Patrick. However, I will be worried and I will not be able to
relax if you and your brother go by yourselves while I stay home. Let me ask Christine or Ian
if one of them can go with both of you. Then I can stay home and relax. Christine! Ian!

Christine & Ian: What, Mom? You called us?

Mom: Do you have any free time tomorrow night? Can one of you take Patrick and Sara
around the neighbourhood so that they can trick-or-treat on Halloween?

Christine: I can take them, Mom. I do not have any plans tomorrow.

Ian: Mom, I heard you wanted to go watch a movie tomorrow night with Dad. If you want, I
can stay at home and give out candies to any trick-or-treaters who come by while Christine
takes Patrick and Sara trick-or-treating.

Christine: Then you and Dad can have a little fun on Halloween too.

Sara: So Mom and Dad can relax!

Mom: Sounds like a plan, kids. Thanks a lot!

Patrick: Well, I think I am old enough to take Sara around by myself, but maybe we can get
more candy if Christine comes. Hey Christine, how about you trick-or-treat with us, and give
us your candy afterwards?

Christine: No way, Patrick. I will eat every Hersheys, Reeses, Snickers, and Twix I get.
You can have my Jolly Ranchers though.

Ian: Well, it seems as though everything is settled and everyone will have some Halloween
fun. I think I am going to have the most fun of all though. I get to eat all the candies that I do
not give away, and I do not even have to trick-or-treat for it!
