The Halloween Sheep

In the very center of Colorado , there was a small American village of Pagos Sprigs where people lived quietly and peacefully for centuries . As in all of America , people there were madly in love with All Saints Day as known as Halloween . Everyone was well aware that mysticism and evil spirits go hand in hand on this day , but until this story happened , no one really believed in these horror stories . The large and friendly Smith family had a huge ranch where they kept various animals such as cows , sheep , horses , poultry , and others . Mr . John Smith turned the wall calendar page to October 31 . As the rest of the village , the family was getting ready for Halloween . John's charming daughters , Kayla and Rosanna , were preparing their own festive costumes and trying to snatch the most elegant jewelry from each other . “ Gimme , gimme this brooch ,” shouted little Kayla , “ I wanna pin it to my black queen dress !” “ No way !” replied Rosanna , “ it'll look much better on my mermaid costume .” “ Daughters , don't quarrel !” intervened their mother , Mrs . Leila Smith , “ I have a lot of jewelry for both of you in my box , now follow me to our bedroom , we will prepare for the holiday together .” “ Thank you , Mom !” the girls answered in unison and rushed to their parents' room faster than Leila . A sudden wild scream of Bobby , a boy living next door , startled the whole Smith family : “ Uncle John , Uncle John !” shouted Bobby , “ look over there !” On the outskirts of the village , there was a small hut where a young girl and her elderly mother lived . Since the girl never appeared in the street , the locals believed she was a witch and did witchcraft . On the roof of her house , they saw a stray sheep bleating wildly , which got lost in the village last night . At that very moment , no one doubted that this was done by the young witch . But they were living in the XXI century and people no longer burnt them at the stake , although many people wanted to do it then . They decided to deal with her in a modern way and hand her over to the authorities so that the court could examine the case . Hardly had they approached the ill-fated house , the elderly woman ran out of it : “ You are monsters ! Why are you making a witch out of her ? The girl was born blind and has never cursed anyone in her life . While you celebrate Halloween , she quietly prays for your sinful souls and for the salvation of the world ! Leave her alone !” It took the locals a lot of effort to remove the poor sheep from the roof of the house . However , no one could understand how it got there . But no one called the innocent girl a witch any longer , and people started to treat evil spirits more seriously , because on Halloween they come out of the woodwork and can cause a lot of trouble not only to an individual , but also to the entire village , city and even to all mankind .
