6 What is a Jack-o-lantern? In a distant Halloween night, a rowdy reputation for drunken Irishman named Jack, had the misfortune to meet with the devil in a tavern. Despite the alcohol ingested, Jack was able to fool the devil offering his soul in exchange for one last drink. The devil was transformed into a coin to pay the waiter, but cheap-Jack-fed quickly took it and put it in her purse (which was engraved with a cross), so the devil could not return to its original form and not Jack let him go until he promised not to ask for your soul in 10 years. The devil had no choice but to grant his claim. In a distant Halloween night, a rowdy reputation for drunken Irishman named Jack, had the misfortune to meet with the devil in a tavern.

7 What is trick or treat? Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a (mostly idle) "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. In some parts of Scotland children still go guising. In this custom the child performs some sort of trick, i.e. sings a song or tells a ghost story, to earn their treats. Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween.
