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.
