CAPTER 5 : JACKS GREAT IDEA

Jack worked hard all night with the chemicals, but he didnt find any answers to
his questions. What was Christmas? \What did it mean?

He stood at his open window and thought hard. "How do these things work?" he
thought. "Why do people in Christmas town want to sing when they see these
decorations? Why are people excited when they open these presents?"

He stood there for hours. When it was almost morning, Jack found the answer.

"I know! It's easy! Why didn't I think of this before?" he shouted. He jumped up and
down excitedly." Halloween town can have Christmas! Why not? we can make
decorations and put them on a tree! 'we can put presents under the tree! We can
make presents for every little boy and girl. And this year I'll be Santa Claus."

He shouted happily, "Christmas will be ours!"

It was time for another meeting. He couldn't wait, so he ran to the Mayor's house.
The Mayor was asleep.

Wake up! we have to talk to everybody tonight!" Jack told him excitedly.

"OK, Jack. But it's very early. Go away now," the Mayor said'

Later, the Mayor called everybody to the towns center.

Jack said, "Everybody's here, I see' Thank you' I have a new plan"'

Everybody listened carefully.

Were going to have Christmas in Halloweentown this year. You will have to work
hard, but it will be wonderful!"

"'Will it be really scary?" asked a vampire'

"No, not scary...but happy!" answered Jack'

The Mayor thought, "This is a strange plan but I'm not going to stop him. when they
are happily celebrating Christmas in Halloweentown

they'll be happy with me, too."

Jack said, I want the witches to make Christmas cakes. Can you do that,
witches?"
"Yes, Jack, we always cook wonderful things' \7e can make cakes without any
problem!" they said'

They laughed and started discussing ideas for the cakes

Jack said, "I want the vampires to make red and green decorations.

OK, vampires?"

can we use blood for the red decorations?" asked one young vampire.

"No,no blood in the decorations, please!" said Jack'

Then the Doctor arrived.

"Doctor! You're here! Thank you," said Jack' "Can you please make four reindeer
for Santa Claus's sleigh?"

Jack showed the Doctor a picture of reindeer'

"Can you do it?" he asked.

"Of course, Jack. I'll start now," said the Doctor'

The Doctor left and three young boys arrived'

Jack, Jack!" said the Mayor. "Be careful! lt's oogie Boogie's boys!"

CAPTER 6: JACKS LITTLE HELPERS

Lock, Shock, and Barrel were three young boys. They were Halloweentown's
famous trick-or-treaters and they played a lot of tricks on everybody in town. They
always had a plan, and their plans were never very nice.

Nobody in town liked their boss, Oogie Boogie. He was a big, round bag full of
maggots! He had a big head, short legs, and long arms and sometimes the
maggots fell out of him through holes in the bag.

Oogie Boogie went around the woods at night and ate a lot of animals. He drank
their blood. Sometimes he ate people, too! He was always hungry. He didnt like
good children and they were really afraid of him. He was the scariest thing in
Halloweentown' 'When he scared children, they ran to Jack. Oogie Boogie was
different from everybody in Halloweentown because he didnt like Jack. The Mayor
didnt like Oogie Boogie or his bad boys. So his eyes opened wide when he saw
Oogie's boys.

why does Jack wanr to talk to the m?" he thought. "Is he crazy?"

Jack spoke very quietly into each boy's ear. "l want you three boys to do something
for me. But don't tell anybody. It's very important' Nobody can know."

"What? This isnt possible!" the Mayor thought. "why is Jack making plans with
them? What he saying?

"One last thing..." Jack said to the boys. "Don't tell Oogie Boogie. I don't want him
to know anything!"

"Of course, Jack," the three trick-or-treaters said. "'We wont say a word to Oogie
Boogie about this."

They ran away with big smiles on their faces. Were they happy about Jack's
important job? Or did they have other plans? Did Jack do the right thing or did he
make a big mistake?

This is going to be wonderful," thought Jack. "This is the happiest day of my life.
Those three trick-or-rreaters are going to do something good for the first time in
their lives. And this time there'll be no tricks."

Everybody in Halloweentown wanted to help with his Christmas plan. Nothing

could be better.

But Christmas was now in dangerous hands. Jacks three young helpers had a
very different idea about Christmas in Halloweentown-so the nightmare before
Christmas was beginning.

Lock, Shock, and Barrel loved nightmares as much as they loved tricks. When they
got to their home at the top of a big tree, they started planning their trick on Jack.

"Jack is a stupid skeleton!" they laughed'

Lock said, He want us to go to Christmastown and get SantaClaus?

We'll bring Santa back here...but we won't give him to Jack! \we'll scare him with
our tricks!"

Shock was more intelligent than Lock and he had a better idea. Listen...We'll get
Santa Claus and put him in our biggest Halloween bag said Shock. "We'll bring
him here and show him to Jack. But then we`ll gibr him to Ooogie Boogie!. Oogie
will really enjoy that big fat man for his dinner!
Great!, shouted Barrel. "That will teach Jack Skellington a lesson!"

The three trick-or-treaters laughed and danced around the room. Then they got
busy with their plan.

CAPTER 7: BIG MISTAKES

Not one witch, vampire, or skeleton in Halloween town could say "No" to Jack.
When he asked for happy music, he got it. \When he asked for cakes, decorations,
and toys, he got them. But when he asked Sally for some red clothes, she didn't
want to make them. She wasn't happy about Jack's plan. She thought about the
Christmas tree on fire in her hand and she felt afraid.

"Jack, listen to me," Sally said. "This isn't going to work."

"Yes, it is! You can do it. I only want a wonderful red Santa Claus jacket and some
red pants!" Jack answered happily. He could think of nothing but his clothes for
Christmas.

"l'll make them for you, Jack. But I think it's a mistake," she said sadly.

Sally could make clothes very well and she did a very good job on Jacks new red
pants and jacket. When she finished her work, she left his house. She walked to
the center of town.

Jack's next visitors were Lock, Shock, and Barrel. They arrived with a very big
Halloween bag. But they did not have candy inside the bag this time.

"Jack, we caught him!" they shouted.

"Open it! Let's see him!" said Jack excitedly.

But when the three boys opened the bag, Jack's eyes and mouth opened wide. He
did not see an old man in red clothes. He saw an animal with very long ears. It
jumped out of the bag and ran around the room.

Up and down, up and down.

"What's that?" Jack asked.

"lt's not Santa Claus!"

"Isn't it?" asked Shock.

"But we went through the door in the tree," said Lock.

"Which door?" asked Jack.

"The door with the egg and the yellow fower," said Barrel.

"You went through the wrong door!" Jack said. "Go back and go through the door
with the Christmas tree on it. And take this thing back to its tree!

"It was Lockt mistake!" said Shock.

"It was Barrel's mistake!" said Lock.

The angry words turned into a fight. Shock hit Lock and Barrel hit Shock. Jack
watched them for a minute or two. Then he moved very quickly and scared them
with the sound of his skeleton arms.

Usually he only did that on Halloween night.

The boys, afraid, jumped and ran out of the door. The animal with the long ears
followed them.

"Take that thing back to its tree and bring Santa Claus here," Jack shouted behind
the three trick-or-treaters. "And be nice to Santa!"

When they were in the woods again, Shock turned to his friends. "How did we
make that mistake?" he asked.

"'When I saw the egg and flower on the tree's door..." Lock said slowly.

Shock said, "You shouted decorations' and we went inside! You stupid boy!"

Everybody in Halloweentown was very busy and Jack watched them happily. The
Doctor came with his reindeer and they were almost as big as horses.

ln Christmastown Santa Claus was busy, too. His helpers' beautiful toys were
almost ready. He looked at the names of the children in Christmastown. He had a
present for each child.

Are the cakes ready, Mrs. Claus?" he called to his wife.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Claus smiled. She loved cakes and she enioyed her job on the
night before Christmas very much.

"Here comes the last one!" she shouted happily.

Santa Claus said, "I'm going to get the reindeer. They have to pull a very heavy
sleigh tonight, so I'll give them more food and water."

"Good idea!" his wife said.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise at their front door.

"'Whos that?" Santa shouted to his helpers.

But his helpers were singing loudly and happily in the next room, so they didn't
hear him.

l'll answer the door!" he called to his wife.

When he opened it, he saw three strange children in very strange dark clothes.

"Trick or treat!" they shouted.

Santa wanted to ask, "What does 'trick or treat' mean?" But they put a big bag over
his head before he could ask his question. From inside the bag, he shouted for his
wife and helpers, but they didnt hear him.

CAPTER 8: SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

In Halloweentown, the vampires finished making Christmas lightsI with little

skeleton heads. The youngest witches finished making their toys-wonderfully
dangerous toys. Jack's plans for Christmas, the most important thing in his life,
were almost ready. But he didn't look at the lights and the toys before they went
into the bags.

"Now I can dress," he thought happily. "Sally, bring my clothes, please!" he said.
She brought Jack his new red jacket and pants and he put them on. "These are
wonderful! How do I look?" he asked Sally. "l liked you better in black clothes,
Jack," she said sadly.

But Jack was excited and he didnt listen to her answer.He ran out the door to his
wonderful sleigh. In the back of the sleigh there was a mountain of big bags, full of
dangerous toys, scary Presents, and strange packages. Jack was as happy as a
trick-or-treater on Halloween night with a big bag full of candy.

Before he got into the sleigh, he heard somebody shout, "Jack!" He turned and
there were Lock, Shock, and Barrel with a very big bag. "Hes in here! And he's
really heavy!" shouted Barrel'

"Let's put him down!" said Shock.

"Let me out!" shouted the old man inside the bag.

They opened the bag and Santa Claus fell out. His face was as red as his jacket
and pants. His hair was as white as snow. He looked around and he saw the
ugliest people in the world. He was in a nightmare and everybody was a skeleton
or a witch or a vampire!

"'Where am I?" he thought.

"Hi, Santa Claus!" said Jack happily. "I'm going to give you a Christmas present.
This year I'll be Santa Claus, so you wont have to work. You can sit down and
enjoy a quiet night here in Halloweentown!

I'll do everything. Look! I have a sleigh, presents, a red jacket and pants!" Santa
Claus eyes opened wide. "What does he mean?" he thought.

"This is the happiest night of the year for me! The children are waiting and Im
going to be late! But I..." he started to say.

"Its OK," said Jack. "You can have a vacation."

"This is a nightmare!" Santa thought. But he couldn't speak because he couldnt

find the right words.

"Come with us, Santa. 'We'll take you to Jack's house and you can sleep there,"
said Shock.

"But I don't want to sleep!" Santa shouted.

The three trick-or-treaters took him away, but not to Jack's house.

"This is a nightmare," Sally thought. "I have to do something!"

Then she had an idea. Quickly, she walked away and began working on her plan.
First, she had an idea get the right chemicals.

Before Jack could leave in his sleigh, the Mayor called everybody into the town's
center. He wanted to say goodbye to Jack because he wanted everybody to look at
him.

When he finished speaking, something very strange happened.

"What's happening?" Jack cried.

He looked around at the black sky, but it wasnt black. A thick, white fog, as thick
as the worst London fog in an old black-and-white movie, moved into the town.
Nobody could see anything.

"The reindeer cant see their noses!" Jack said. "We cant leave now."

"Oh no! No Christmas!" everybody cried. "No presents!"

There was only one person in Halloweentown with a smile on her face.

Sally was happy with her fog.

"Jack will understand one day. I had to do this," she thought. "I'm doing it for him."

She walked nearer so she could see Jack face.

"Is he very sad?" she thought. "I hope not."

But Jack wasnt very sad. His eyes were on Zero's red nose. It shone in the dark
and it shone in the fog!

Will you show us the way, Zero?" Jack asked his little friend.

Zero couldnt say no. He jumped up and down happily.

"Goodbye, everybody!" Jack shouted.

Zero jumped onto the first reindeers back and they few up through the fog and
across the night sky.

Everybody in Halloweentown laughed and shouted happily. Only one person had a
sad face.

"Goodbye Jack," said Sally quietly. Then she looked up and said, "Theres
something in the wind. \What's going to happen to Jack tonight?

It wont be good...bug I hope I'm wrong

CAPITULO 5:

Jack trabaj duro toda la noche con los productos qumicos, pero no encontr
ninguna respuesta a sus preguntas. Qu fue de Navidad? \ Qu significaba?

Se puso de pie junto a la ventana abierta y pens mucho. "Cmo funcionan estas
cosas?" pens. "Por qu la gente de la ciudad de Navidad quieren cantar cuando
ven estas decoraciones? Por qu son gente emocionada cuando abran estos
regalos?"

Se qued all durante horas. Cuando se aproximaba la maana, Jack encontr la

respuesta.

"Lo s! Es fcil! Por qu no pens en esto antes?" -grit. l salt hacia arriba y
abajo con entusiasmo. "Halloweentown puede tener Navidad! Por qu no?
Podemos hacer decoraciones y ponerlas en un rbol!" Podemos poner regalos
debajo del rbol! Podemos hacer regalos a cada nio y nia. Y este ao voy a ser

Grit con alegra, "La Navidad ser nuestra!"

Ya era hora para otra reunin. No poda esperar, por lo que corri a la casa del
alcalde. El alcalde estaba dormido.

Despertarse! tenemos que hablar a todo el mundo esta noche! "Jack le dijo con
entusiasmo.

"Est bien, Jack. Pero es muy temprano. Vete ahora", dijo el alcalde '

Ms tarde, el alcalde llam a todos al centro town's.

Jack dijo: "Todo el mundo est aqu, veo 'Gracias' Tengo un nuevo plan" '

Todo el mundo escuch con atencin.

"'Ser realmente miedo?" pregunt un vampiro '

"No, no da miedo ... pero feliz!" respondi Jack '

El alcalde pens: "Este es un plan extrao, pero yo no voy a detenerlo. Cuando

Jack dijo: "Quiero que las brujas para hacer pasteles de Navidad. Puedes hacer
eso, brujas? "

"S, Jack, siempre cocinar cosas maravillosas '\ 7e puede hacer tortas sin ningn
problema!" dijeron '

Se rieron y empezaron a discutir ideas para las tortas

Jack dijo: "Quiero que los vampiros a hacer decoraciones rojas y verdes.

Aceptar, los vampiros? "

"Podemos usar la sangre para las decoraciones rojas?", Pregunt un joven

vampiro.

"No, no hay sangre en las decoraciones, por favor!" dijo Jack '
Luego lleg el mdico.

"Doctor! Usted est aqu! Gracias," dijo Jack "" Puedes por favor hacer cuatro
renos para el trineo de Santa Claus? "

Jack mostr al mdico una imagen de reno '

"Puedes hacerlo?" , pregunt.

"Por supuesto, Jack. Voy a empezar ahora", dijo el doctor '

El doctor se fue y tres jvenes lleg '

CAPITULO 6:

Lock, Shock y Barrel eran tres chicos jvenes. Eran Halloweentown famosos trick-
or-treat y jugaron un montn de trucos en todo el mundo en la ciudad. Siempre
tenan un plan, y sus planes nunca fueron muy agradables.

Nadie en la ciudad le gusta su jefe, Oogie Boogie. Era una bolsa grande, redonda
llena de gusanos! Tena una gran cabeza, piernas cortas y brazos largos y, a
veces los gusanos se cay de l a travs de los agujeros en la bolsa.

Oogie Boogie se fue por el bosque en la noche y se comi una gran cantidad de
animales. Se bebi su sangre. A veces se coma a la gente, tambin! l siempre
tena hambre. l dio como buenos hijos y eran realmente miedo de l. Era la cosa
ms espantosa en Halloweentown '' Cuando se asust nios, ellos corri a Jack.
Oogie Boogie era diferente de todo el mundo en Halloweentown porque l no le
gustaba Jack. El alcalde dio como Oogie Boogie o sus chicos malos. Entonces sus
ojos se abrieron como platos cuando vio los chicos de Oogie.

"Por qu Jack wanr para hablar con el m?", Pens. "Est loco?"

Jack habl en voz muy baja al odo de cada nio. "Quiero que los tres chicos que
hagas algo por m. Pero no se lo digas a nadie. Es muy importante" Nadie puede
saber. "

"Qu? sto no sea posible!" el alcalde pens. "Por qu est haciendo Jack
planes con ellos? Qu est diciendo?"

"Una ltima cosa ...", dijo Jack a los chicos. "No le digas a Oogie Boogie. Yo no
quiero que sepa nada!"
"Por supuesto, Jack", dijo que los tres trick-or-treat. "'Nosotros No dir una palabra
a Oogie Boogie sobre esto."

Huyeron con grandes sonrisas en sus rostros. Eran felices por trabajo importante
de Jack? O es que tienen otros planes? Acaso Jack haga lo correcto o no que
hacer un gran error?

"Esto va a ser maravilloso", pens Jack. "Este es el da ms feliz de mi vida. Esos

tres trick-or-rreaters van a hacer algo bueno por primera vez en sus vidas. Y esta
vez no va a ser nada de trucos ".

Todo el mundo en Halloweentown quera ayudar con su plan de Navidad. Nada

podra ser mejor.

Pero la Navidad estaba ahora en manos peligrosas. Jack's tres ayudantes jvenes
tena una idea muy diferente sobre la Navidad en Halloweentown-as la pesadilla
antes de Navidad estaba empezando.

Lock, Shock y Barrel amaban pesadillas tanto como amaban trucos. Cuando
llegaron a su casa en la parte superior de un rbol grande, comenzaron a planear
su truco en Jack.

"Jack es un esqueleto estpido!" se rean '

Lock dijo: "l quiere que vayamos a Christmastown y obtenemos SantaClaus?

Traeremos de Santa vuelta aqu ... pero no le daremos a Jack! \ le haremos

asustamos con nuestros trucos! "

Choque era ms inteligente que Lock y tuvo una idea mejor. "Escucha ... Vamos a
llegar Santa Claus y lo pusimos en nuestro mayor bolsa de Halloween", dijo
Choque. "Nosotros le traeremos aqu y mostrarle a Jack. Pero despus ll del` le
gibr a Ooogie Boogie Oogie !. realmente disfrutar de ese gran hombre gordo para
su cena! "

Gran !, grit Barrel. "Eso va a ensear a Jack Skellington una leccin!"

Los tres trick-or-treat rieron y bailaron alrededor de la habitacin. Luego se puso a

trabajar con su plan.

CAPITULO 7:

Ni una bruja, vampiro o esqueleto en la ciudad de Halloween podran decir "No" a

Jack. Cuando le pregunt por la msica feliz, lo consigui. \ Cuando pidi tortas,
decoraciones, y los juguetes, los recibi. Pero cuando le pidi a Sally para algunos
la ropa roja, ella no quera hacerlos. Ella no estaba contento con el plan de Jack.
Pens en el rbol de Navidad en el fuego en la mano y ella sinti miedo.

"Jack, escchame", dijo Sally. "Esto no va a funcionar."

"S, lo es! Usted puede hacerlo. Yo slo quiero una maravillosa chaqueta de Santa
Claus rojo y unos pantalones rojos!" Jack respondi alegremente. No poda pensar
en nada ms que su ropa para la Navidad.

"Voy a hacer por usted, Jack. Pero creo que es un error", dijo con tristeza.

Sally pueda hacer la ropa muy bien y ella hizo un trabajo muy bueno en Jack's
nuevos pantalones rojos y una chaqueta. Cuando termin su trabajo, ella sali de
su casa. Ella camin hasta el centro de la ciudad.

Los futuros visitantes de Jack eran Lock, Shock y Barrel. Llegaron con una bolsa
muy grande de Halloween. Pero ellos no tienen caramelos dentro de la bolsa esta
vez.

"Jack, que lo atrap!" gritaban.

"brelo! Vamos a ver!" dijo Jack con entusiasmo.

Pero cuando los tres chicos abrieron la bolsa, los ojos y la boca de Jack se
abrieron. No vio a un anciano en ropa de color rojo. Vio un animal con orejas muy
largas. Salt fuera de la bolsa y corri alrededor de la habitacin.

Arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo.

"Qu es eso?" -pregunt Jack.

"lt no es Santa Claus!"

"No lo es?" pregunt Shock.

"Pero nos fuimos por la puerta en el rbol", dijo Lock.

"Qu puerta?" -pregunt Jack.

"La puerta con el huevo y el fower amarilla", dijo el barril.

"Usted fue a travs de la puerta equivocada!" Dijo Jack. "Vuelve y ve por la puerta
con el rbol de Navidad en l. Y tomar esta cosa de nuevo a su rbol!"

"Fue LockT error!" dijo Choque.

"Fue un error de barril!" dijo Lock.

Las palabras de enojo se convirti en una pelea. Choque golpe bloqueo y barril
golpe Shock. Jack les observ durante un minuto o dos. Luego se traslad muy
rpidamente y los asust con el ruido de sus brazos esquelticos.

Por lo general, slo hizo que la noche de Halloween.

Los chicos, asustados, saltaron y corrieron hacia la puerta. El animal con las
orejas largas y los sigui.

"Tomar esa cosa de nuevo a su rbol y traer Santa Claus aqu", Jack grit detrs
de los tres trick-or-treat. "Y ser amable con Santa!"

Cuando estaban en el bosque de nuevo, choque se volvi hacia sus amigos.

"Cmo lo hicimos ese error?" , pregunt.

"'Cuando vi el huevo y la flor en la puerta del rbol ...", dijo Lock lentamente.

Choque dijo, "grit decoraciones 'y nos fuimos por dentro! Usted chico estpido!"

Todo el mundo en Halloweentown estaba muy ocupado y Jack les vio felizmente.
El doctor vino con sus renos y eran casi tan grandes como los caballos.

En Christmastown Santa Claus estaba ocupado, tambin. Hermosos juguetes sus

ayudantes eran casi listo. Mir a los nombres de los nios en Christmastown. l
tena un regalo para cada nio.

"Son los pasteles listos, la seora Claus?" Llam a su esposa.

En la cocina, la seora Claus sonri. Amaba pasteles y ella enioyed su trabajo en

la noche antes de Navidad mucho.

"Aqu viene el ltimo!" -grit alegremente.

Pap Noel dijo: "Yo voy a conseguir el reno. Tienen que tirar de una noche muy
pesado trineo, as que voy a darles ms comida y agua."

"Buena idea!" su esposa, dijo.

De repente, hubo un fuerte ruido en su puerta principal.

"'Quin es ese?" Pap grit a sus ayudantes.

Pero sus ayudantes estaban cantando en voz alta y feliz en la habitacin de al

lado, as que no lo oy.

l'll abrir la puerta! "llam a su esposa.

Cuando la abri, vio a tres nios extraos en muy extraas ropas oscuras.

"Trick or treat!" gritaban.

Pap quera preguntar, "Qu significa 'trick or treat'?" Pero me pusieron una gran
bolsa en la cabeza antes de que pudiera hacer su pregunta. Desde el interior de la
bolsa, le grit a su esposa y ayudantes, pero dejase't orle

CAPITULO 8:

En Halloweentown, los vampiros terminaron haciendo las luces de Navidad con

pequeas cabezas de esqueleto. Las brujas ms jvenes terminado de hacer sus
juguetes-maravillosamente juguetes peligrosos. Planes de Jack para la Navidad, lo
ms importante en su vida, estaban casi listos. Pero l no mir las luces y los
juguetes antes de entrar en las bolsas.

"Ahora puedo vestir", pens alegremente. "Sally, traer mi ropa, por favor!" , dijo.
Ella trajo a Jack su nueva chaqueta roja y pantalones y se los puso. "stos son
maravillosos! Cmo me veo?" -pregunt Sally. "l le gustaba ms en ropa negra,
Jack", dijo con tristeza.

Pero Jack estaba emocionado y que an no ha escuchar su answer.He sali

corriendo por la puerta de su maravillosa trineo. En la parte posterior del trineo
haba una montaa de bolsas grandes, llena de juguetes peligrosos, Regalos de
miedo, y los paquetes de extraos. Jack era tan feliz como un truco o tratador la
noche de Halloween con una gran bolsa llena de dulces.

Antes de llegar al trineo, oy gritar a alguien, "Jack!" Se dio la vuelta y haba

Lock, Shock y Barrel con una gran bolsa. "l ser de aqu! Y es muy pesado!" grit
Barril '

"Vamos a dejar!" dijo Choque.

"Djame salir!" -grit el anciano dentro de la bolsa.

Abrieron la bolsa y Santa Claus se cayeron. Su cara estaba tan roja como la
chaqueta y los pantalones. Su cabello era blanco como la nieve. Mir a su
alrededor y vio que la gente ms fea del mundo. l estaba en una pesadilla y todo
el mundo era un esqueleto o una bruja o un vampiro!

"Dnde estoy?" pens.

"Hola, Santa Claus!" dijo Jack felizmente. "Voy a darle un regalo de Navidad. Este
ao voy a ser Pap Noel, por lo que no tendrs que trabajar. Usted puede
sentarse y disfrutar de una noche tranquila aqu en Halloweentown!
Voy a hacer todo. Mira! Tengo un trineo, los presentes, una chaqueta roja y
pantalones! "Los ojos de Santa Claus se abrieron." Qu quiere decir? ", Pens.

"Esta es la noche ms feliz del ao para m Los nios estn esperando! -! Y estoy
va a llegar tarde, pero yo ..." empez a decir.

"Est bien", dijo Jack. "Usted puede tener unas vacaciones."

"Esto es una pesadilla!" Pap pens. Pero l no poda hablar porque l no poda
encontrar las palabras adecuadas.

"Ven con nosotros, Santa. 'Te llevaremos a casa de Jack y se puede dormir all",
dijo Choque.

"Pero yo no quiero dormir!" Pap grit.

Los tres trick-or-treat lo llevaron, pero no a la casa de Jack.

"Esto es una pesadilla", pens Sally. "Tengo que hacer algo!"

Entonces tuvo una idea. Rpidamente, ella se alej y comenz a trabajar en su

plan. En primer lugar, tuvo una idea conseguir los productos qumicos adecuados.

Antes de que Jack podra dejar en su trineo, el alcalde llam a todos en el centro
de la ciudad. Quera decir adis a Jack porque quera que todo el mundo a mirarlo.

Cuando termin de hablar, algo muy extrao sucedi.

"Lo que est sucediendo?" -grit Jack.

Mir a su alrededor en el cielo negro, pero no fue negro. Una niebla espesa,
blanca, tan grueso como el peor niebla de Londres en una vieja pelcula en blanco
y negro, se traslad a la ciudad. Nadie poda ver nada.

"El reno no puede ver sus narices!" Dijo Jack. "No podemos dejar ahora."

"Oh, no! No te gusta?" grit a todo el mundo. "No hay regalos!"

Slo haba una persona en Halloweentown con una sonrisa en su rostro.

Sally era feliz con su niebla.

"Jack va a entender un da. Tuve que hacer esto", pens. "Lo estoy haciendo por
l."

Camin ms cerca para que pudiera ver el rostro de Jack.

"Es muy triste que l?" pens. "Espero que no."

Pero Jack no era muy triste. Sus ojos estaban puestos en la nariz roja de Zero.
Brillaba en la oscuridad y que brill en la niebla!

Va a mostrarnos el camino, Zero? "Jack le pidi a su pequeo amigo.

Zero no poda decir que no. Salt hacia arriba y abajo con alegra.

"Adis a todos!" Jack grit.

Zero salt a la primera reindeer's atrs y son pocos a travs de la niebla y por el
cielo nocturno.

Todo el mundo en Halloweentown ri y grit alegremente. Slo una persona tena

una cara triste.

"Adis Jack", dijo Sally en voz baja. Luego levant la vista y dijo: "Hay algo en el
viento. \ Qu va a pasar con Jack esta noche?

Es no ser bueno ... bug espero que me equivoque
