Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest. And every October, my neighbor Ollie and I race to the announcement board in the park to find out the theme. One year, the theme was " Dress up as your favorite book character. " Another year, it was " Be something scary. " But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless.
" Be creative? " I said, reading the announcement board. " That' s not really a theme, is it? "
Ollie hopped off his skateboard s to get a closer look. " You' re right," he agreed. " I think my favorite theme ever was ‘Superheroes' . I loved my Super-Force Flying Eagles costume so much, I kept that thing hanging in my close t for years!"
" My favorite theme was ‘Farm Animals' . " I giggled. " Remember how you insisted on being a Stegosaurus (剑龙)? "
" When I was five, dinosaurs were my world. " Ollie laughed. " I would have loved to see a Stegosaurus out grazing with the cows. "
" Now that' s the creative spirit we need for this challenge!" I said. " Maybe, since we don' t know exactly what we want to be yet, we should start by choosing some cool costume-making materials. "
" I' ve got it!" Ollie said, scooping up a bunch of fallen leaves.
" Really? " I said. " You' re going to make an entire costume out of leaves? "
" Why not? " he said, scooping up some more.
" They' re totally free, and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me. "
" Don' t you mean, a tree as great as we? " I grinned.
" Um, first, that grammar doesn' t sound right," said Ollie. " And second, no way! Think of your own creative ideas. "
" Aw, come on," I said. " You should be flattered that I like your idea so much. Plus, I just thought of the perfect way to make branches. "
Finally, Ollie said OK.
