Once upon a time, on Halloween night, a group of kids were walking through a haunted forest. They were terrified by the gnarled trees and creepy sounds around them. Suddenly, they noticed a strange figure in a visible position ahead of them. It was a witch trying to protect her potions from being stolen. The kids continued to trudge forward, except for one brave kid who had a determined expression on his face. He approached the witch and asked if he could help protect her potions. The witch was surprised by his kindness and allowed him to assist. Together, they protected the potions and even had a little Halloween party. The end.

3. What would you have done if you were in the brave kid's position?
4. Do you think the witch ended up having a happy Halloween?
5. Can you think of another story where someone helped someone else in a scary situation?
