It was the final day of October: Halloween. Huckleberry Hound was in his house, putting on his costume: a sparkly bow tie, a shiny red cape, and a new top hat. He was going as a magician this year.
"Ohhh, I have a feeling that this is gonna be a great Halloween!" he said to himself. "I love Halloween! I do like dressing up, but if there's one thing I really love about Halloween, it's the candy! You know what they say...candy is dandy!"
But then, he heard a knock at the door.
"Hmmm, I wonder who that is."
He walked over to the door and there was Hokey Wolf, wearing a clown costume. He had a big red nose, and giant shoes on his feet, and he was riding on a unicycle! "How do I look?" he asked.
Huck snickered, then broke into laughter. He couldn't help it! He found the costume absolutely hilarious! "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hokey, your costume looks absolutely hilarious!!"
"Why thank you, Huck! I'm glad you like it!"
"So, are you ready to go trick or treating?" Huck asked.
"You bet!" Hokey replied. "What's your favorite candy, anyway?"
"Hmmmm, that's a good question. I like all kinds of candy!"
"Maybe you'll figure it out while we're trick or treating!"
"Yeah, maybe!"
The duo went outside, and there stood Mr. Jinks, Pixie, and Dixie. Jinks was an astronaut in a spacesuit.
"Like, uh, happy Halloween fellas!" he called. "Like my costume?"
"I love it, Jinksey!" Huck cried.
"What about us?" the meeces chorused. They were dressed in matching sailor's uniforms with caps and collars.
"Golly, those are really cute, Pixie and Dixie!" Huck beamed. "But how can we tell who's who?"
"Easy," Pixie replied. "We color coded ourselves!"
"Mine's is red, and Pixie's is blue!" Dixie added.
"Ohhhh, I see!" Huck chuckled. "So, are we ready to go?"
"Uh-huh!" the others replied.
"Well then, let's go!"
The gang started making their way into town with their pumpkin-shaped buckets in hand. The first house they went to was that of a lady dressed as a cowgirl. They held out their baskets, and shouted, "TRICK OR TREAT!!"
"Well, what do we have here?" the lady laughed. "An astronaut, two sailors, a magician, and..."
"I'm a clown!" Hokey told her.
"Ohhhh, I see!" the lady said, laughing. "Well, I have some candy for all of you!" Then she put some chocolate bars in each of their baskets.
"Thank you!!" they cried as they left the house.
They then made their way to the house of a man dressed like a pirate. "TRICK OR TREAT!!" they called.
The man gave them some caramel and candy corn. Mrs. Jones' house was next, and she gave them some lollipops and gumdrops! Then they made their way to the candy store, where Mr. Honeydrop gave them some taffy, lemon drops, and bubblegum! Hokey was pedaling his unicycle while the others continued to walk down the road, when they walked up a small hill, and saw a strange looking house behind a rusty old gate..
"Hmmm?" Huck thought. "I've never seen this house before."
"I wonder if anyone is giving away candy in there," Jinks said. "We should go see."
