   When I was a kid we'd do tick-or-treating in my neighbourhood all dressed up    
   in our costumes.   
      
   One year our immediate next door neighbours moved away and a couple from    
   Europe moved in (I really don't know where from), we knocked on their door    
   and yelled "Trick or Treat!" and they looked so confused.  We (my sister & I)    
   explained how it worked and they gave us something sweet from their kitchen    
   and we went on our way.  The next year they opened the door, yelled "We're    
   not participating this year!" and slammed the door in our faces.
