Trick-or-Treat
What is Trick-or-treating? On Halloween night, children
across North America and in other countries go from house to house in costumes, asking for treats with the question, "Trick or treat?" The "trick" part
of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner
or his property if no treat is given. Of course, many children are
only interested in the Treat part!
