    children light fires in the fields and boil their cludóg.
    The people get up early that morning to see the sun dancing.
    On Hallow'een they do all sorts of tricks. They duck for apples and money. They also have good fun trying to get the ring in the cake and it is said whoever gets it will be married before the year is out.
    Then some of the children hang a thread from the roof and put an apple on it and whoever catches it gets the apple.
