1 Jon was excited! It was Halloween. He would trick-or-treat. His friend Sam would go, too. Jon would be a pirate. He didn't know what Sam would be.
2 After dinner, Jon got dressed. He put on his old blue jeans. His mom tied a rope on for a belt. He wore a striped tee shirt. The stripes were red and white. He had a real pirate's hat! His mom bought it for him. He had an eye patch, too. His mom rubbed black stuff on his face. It was his beard. He even had a plastic sword!
