Dora skips along the sidewalk, her ghost costume fluttering around her ankles. The white sheet is decorated with black felt eyes and a jagged smile, making her look adorably spooky. She hugs her treat bag close, excitement twinkling in her eyes as she searches for the next house to visit.
Suddenly, Dora freezes mid-step. Her heart thuds as she spots the looming shape of a witch, cloak billowing and green face twisted in a wicked grin. The witch raises a bony hand and lets out a cackling laugh. "Eek! A witch!" she cries, backing away in terror.
Her footsteps echo in the night as she glances over her shoulder, convinced the witch is chasing her. Tears sting her eyes as she finally spots a familiar face near a cluster of glowing pumpkins. "Geo! Geo Umizoomi! Help!" she calls, desperation thick in her voice.

Geo Umizoomi looks up in surprise as Dora rushes toward him, panting and pale. "Dora, what happened? Why are you so scared?" "A witch! She jumped out at me from under that tree. I thought she was going to cast a spell!" "Don’t worry. I’ll help you figure this out. Let’s go see what’s really going on."
Dora[/@ch_1] and Geo Umizoomi cautiously approach the oak tree. The wind has calmed, and the witch’s laughter has faded, replaced by the soft hoot of an owl overhead.]
As they draw closer, they notice the witch’s hat is slightly crooked, and her shoes are familiar. Geo Umizoomi gently tugs the hat off, revealing a mischievous smile beneath. "Wait a second—this isn’t a real witch at all!" The “witch” giggles and pulls off her green mask. It’s just a neighborhood kid in costume, delighted to play a spooky prank.
Dora grins, her fear forgotten. "I guess Halloween is full of surprises, even if they’re a little scary!" Geo Umizoomi nods, handing her a piece of candy. "The best adventures happen when we stick together. Let’s finish trick-or-treating, brave ghost!" With a newfound sense of courage, Dora and Geo Umizoomi continue down the sparkling street, ready for more magical Halloween fun.
