Слайд 4
In the Spanish-speaking countries of the Americas, people
don’t think of the dead as evil spirits. Instead
of going treat or treat on Halloween, whole families visit the cemetery on November 1 and 2. They dress in holiday clothing and bring food and flowers to the graves of their loved ones. They spend the day having a pleasant family picnic. Marigolds, the “flowers of the dead", are laid on graves.

“Look out! Look out, boys! Clear the track!

WEE FOLK
Слайд 6
FAIRIES! GOBLINS! ELVES! LEPRECHAUNS! BROWNIES! TROLLS!
Up the airy
mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren’t
go
a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owl’s feather!
Слайд 7
A flash of white in the darkness,
“Who-oo-ooo?”
Hoots
the owl on the post;
A creak and a groan,
A
squeak and a moan,
“Ooo-oo-ooo!”
Comes the howl –
IT’S A GHOST!”

A Magic Brew
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye
of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and
tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble,
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.”

Witches and Black Cats
If you want to meet
a witch this old superstition tells you what you
must do. Put your clothes on wrong side out. Walk backwards to a crossroads on Halloween night. At midnight you’ll see a witch.
Слайд 11
Black cats were the partners of witches. Many
people were afraid of cats. Some thought cats were
the spirits of the dead. Others believed that witches changed themselves into cats. If people met a cat, they asked: "Is this really a cat? Or is this a witch changed into a cat?”
Слайд 12
Orange or gold, and black are
the Halloween colors. Orange and gold stand for ripe
fruits and grain. This idea comes from Pomona. Black is for black magic and black cats, for the mystery of Halloween. This comes from Samhain.

Instead of collecting candy on Halloween night some
children collect money for the United Nations Children's Fund,
or UNICEF. That way, they can have fun and at the same time help children all around the world.
Слайд 19
Jack-o’-lanterns got their name from a fellow named
Jack who, according to an old Irish legend, was
so stingy with his money that he was not allowed into heaven. But poor Jack had played pranks on the devil, so he was not allowed into hell, either! Instead, he is destined to wander around forever, with his lantern, waiting for Judgment Day.
