Today is Halloween! I am wearing my dinosaur costume with a long tail and spiky back. Dad and I have a big bowl of candy by the front door. Soon, children will come to our house to trick-or-treat.
The doorbell will ring when someone comes to our house. When I hear the doorbell go 'ding-dong,' it means children are outside waiting. I can open the door and see them because they want candy.
Sometimes children knock on the door with their knuckles instead of ringing the doorbell. Both the doorbell sound and the knock-knock sound mean the same thing—someone is here for candy!
When I hear the doorbell or knock, I can help Dad open the door. I will see children dressed in costumes, just like my dinosaur costume! They will say 'trick or treat' because they are asking for candy.
I can reach into the candy bowl and give one piece of candy to each child. I hand them the candy because they came to our house in their costumes. This makes them happy!
After I give them candy, they say 'thank you' and walk to the next house. More children will come to our door. Each time the doorbell rings or I hear a knock, I know it is time to give out more candy!
Halloween is fun! I get to wear my dinosaur costume and help Dad give candy to all the children who come to our door. When the doorbell rings or I hear a knock, I know what to do.
