Kevin was excited for Halloween, having made a costume with his mom and decorated their home. But one house on his street, Mrs. Kimbly’s, was completely bare, and he couldn’t understand why. Concerned that she might need help, he offered to decorate for her, but she firmly rejected his offer, expressing her disdain for Halloween.
Determined to cheer her up, Kevin decorated her porch anyway. When Mrs. Kimbly discovered him, she angrily smashed his carefully carved pumpkin, leaving him heartbroken. Later, feeling guilty, he returned to her house to prevent other kids from vandalizing it.
As he sat on her porch, Mrs. Kimbly emerged, her demeanor softened. She admitted that Halloween reminded her of her loneliness. Kevin encouraged her to join in the festivities, promising to bring another pumpkin to carve together. Their conversation sparked a connection, helping Mrs. Kimbly rediscover the joy of Halloween through Kevin’s kindness.
