Kevin eagerly anticipated Halloween after helping his mom with his costume and his dad with decorations. But one house stood out—Mrs. Kimbly’s, which was completely undecorated. Concerned that she might need help, Kevin knocked on her door, only to be met with a gruff refusal. Undeterred, he went home and shared his worries with his mom, who suggested that people have their reasons for how they act.
Determined to brighten Mrs. Kimbly’s Halloween, Kevin gathered his decorations and set out to decorate her house. When she confronted him, furious, and smashed his favorite pumpkin, he was heartbroken. That night, while trick-or-treating, he decided to sit on her porch and hand out candy to protect her home from pranks.
When Mrs. Kimbly found him, her demeanor softened, and she revealed her loneliness. Kevin offered her a way to celebrate together, inviting her to carve another pumpkin. Her smile returned, and for the first time in years, she felt the warmth of the Halloween spirit, all thanks to Kevin’s kindness and determination.
