Arthur's Halloween Quotes

“Arthur finished his doughnut as Mrs. Tibble opened the door and turned on the porch light. She gave Arthur and D.W. a big hug.
“See you Saturday to rake leaves,” said Arthur.
“You’re still alive!” said Francine.
“I can’t believe you went in there alone,” said the Brain.
“You’re so brave,” said Sue Ellen.
“What’s in the bag?” asked Buster.
“Probably eyeballs, hearts and brains!” said Francine.
“It’s easy to find out,” said Arthur. “Just close your eyes and reach in unless you’re too scared.”
“We’ve been to every house now. Can we take the shortcut home through the cemetery?” asked D.W.
“The cemetery! On Halloween! Are you guys crazy?” asked Francine.
“Follow me,” said Arthur as he marched ahead. “The cemetery is a great place. People are just dying to get in.”

“Look,” cried Buster. “Arthur just went into the witch’s house!”
“She’ll probably put Arthur and D.W. into her oven, just like Hansel and Gretel,” said Sue Ellen.
“Maybe she’s using them for weird scientific experiments,” said the Brain.
“I bet she locked them in the cellar to starve,” said Buster.
“Maybe we should follow him,” said Francine.
“Maybe we should call the police,” said Muffy.
Everyone was too scared to move.”

“When it came time to go trick-or-treating Buster knew which houses to skip.
“Don’t go there,” he said. “They only give apples.”
“Gross,” said Francine.
“And don’t go to the big house on the corner,” said Buster. “That’s the witch’s house.”
“My brother saw someone go in there last Halloween and he never came out.”
Arthur tried not to look afraid.
Arthur and his sister had trouble keeping up with the others.
First D.W. got her tail caught.
Then her bag broke.
“You’re such a pain in the neck,” said Arthur.
“D.W. must be short for Dim Wit.”
But D.W. didn’t answer.
Arthur turned around just in time to see her disappear into the witch’s house.”
