萬聖節的遊戲"Boo"

萬聖節將至，早幾天收到一封神秘密函，裡面還有一張可愛鬼臉圖像和一包糖果。密函其實是一篇「咒語」，內容如下：

BOO!

The air is cool the season fall
Soon Halloween will come to all
The spooks are after things to do

In fact, a spook brought this to you
“BOO” is a shield from witching hour
Just hang it up and watch its power
On your front door is where it hangs
It wards off spooks and bats with fangs
The treats that came with crypted note
Are yours to keep, enjoy them both
The power comes when friends like you
Will copy this and make it TWO
Then others here among our friends
Will give warm fuzzies that do not end
We’ll all have smiles upon our faces
No one will know who “BOO”ed whose places
And don’t forget a nifty treat
Like something cute or something sweet
Please join the fun, Let’s really hear it
And spread some “BOO”s and Halloween spirit

原來我被 Boo 「噓」了！「咒語」下方有一些指示：

“You’ve Been Boo’d”

• Now it’s your turn to Boo two other people in the neighborhood.
• You should Boo these people within 2 days of receiving your treat.
• Hang the ghost on your front door so that everyone can see that you have been “Boo’d” and will not Boo you again. This will also let you know who you can Boo.
• Fill 2 bags with candy and treats. Copy this letter and the ghost twice. Include treats, letter, and ghost in your bag of goodies for the neighbors that you choose.
• After dark, and only with an adult, Boo 2 of your neighbors. Do not let the person that you are Boo’ing see you, for it adds to the fun of it all. Place the treat bag on the doorstep, ring the doorbell and run!
• It will be fun to see how many ghosts will appear in our neighborhood by Halloween.
• Please keep it safe and enjoy!

我遵照指示，精心包了兩袋糖果，把咒語密函和鬼圖影印，心中不停在想應該「噓」誰好呢？其實要「噓」人一點也不易，主要原因是已經有很多鄰居門前早掛上同一張鬼圖，即代表他們已被「噓」了，我不可再「噓」他們。沒有被「噓」的，我又要確保他們是好玩之人，會延續這遊戲。難度最高的是，我要等他們絕對看不見我的時候，我才可俏俏地放下我的「厚禮」。

明年，我要做第一個開始遊戲，那就不應該會容易得多。
