Little Alien discovers Halloween

One day, Little Alien decided to go to the blue planet. He got in his space ship and traveled down to the surface. It was just getting dark where he landed and something wasn't right. Everything seemed a bit different than usual but Little Alien couldn't quite decide what it was. He got out of his ship and started to look around. Finally, he saw them: a bunch of odd looking creatures running around the street. Little Alien had never seen creatures like these on this planet, so he was fascinated and decided to follow them. While he was following, he noticed there were some people following them as well. He wondered if maybe they were curious about them as well? Just then, the strange little creatures went up to the door of a house and knocked on the door. The door opened and the funny looking creatures screamed at the occupant "Trick or Treat!". This seemed really odd to Little Alien but the man at the door smiled and gave something to each of the little creatures. How interesting thought Little Alien and he kept following the creatures. Then, after running away from one of the houses, giggling, one of the creatures removed his head. Little Alien was shocked! Just then he noticed that the creature was actually one of the little boys he'd seen here on the planet. It hadn't removed it's head, but had just removed a mask or some kind of disguise. Little Alien was truly fascinated by this ritual and wanted to try it, so he made every effort to say the funny words coming out of the kids mouths. He went up to a door, knocked and yelled Twip or Tweep when it opened. The woman smiled and gave him a candy bar. Little Alien smiled and ran away giggling just like the kids did. He had to try the candy and took a bite. It was very good. So, he went to many more houses and got many more treats, candy and crackers and fruit of all kinds. Little Alien decided this was a wonderful and fun thing for the people here to do, but he had to tell his family at home and he went back to his ship, travelled home to the mother ship in space and told his family all about the creatures that were really kids, but mostly about the treats and he passed out several to everyone, who all loved the idea as well.
