The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat Quotes

“Later that evening Brother and Sister were at home looking over all the treats they had collected. The beautiful candy apples stood out, and Papa asked where they came from.
“From Miz McGrizz,” answered Brother.
“From that scary-looking old grouch-puss that lives down Crooked Lane?” said Papa.
“That’s right,” said Brother, taking a delicious bite of his candy apple.
“You must really try to remember, Papa,” said Sister, giving her apple a little lick, “appearances can be quite deceiving.”

“Hey!” said Sister. “This is Crooked Lane!”
“That’s right,” said Too-Tall. “We’re gonna play a few tricks on old Witch McGrizz.”
“W-what sort of tricks?” asked Brother. Her gnarled, twisted old tree house loomed ahead.
“First,” whispered Too-Tall, taking a roll of toilet paper from his jacket, “we’ll decorate her house with a little of this. Then maybe we’ll tie a few knots in her clothesline. Then smear some honey on her broomstick so she’ll stick to it when she tries to fly.”
But before Too-Tall and his gang could start their mischief, the front door opened and a bright yellow light stabbed the darkness. And there in the doorway stood the frightening figure of old Miz McGrizz! “Aha!” she said in a gravelly voice. “I’m ready for you!”
She then led the terrified cubs into a cozy living room. To their great surprise, there was a big tray of beautiful candy apples all prepared for Halloween visitors.
“Mama was right,” whispered Sister to Brother. “Miz McGrizz really is a sweet, kind old person!”
