He spent weeks, then months trying to complete this book and ibat jpo began to take a toll on him. He decided to heard quit the novel just before with Halloween comes the Manti I ligh School's I lalloween legend. Now I know that most it before, so, I am going to tell it to you with the exact words that I heard two years ago. Here it is: A long time ago there was a principal who wasn't really a principal. Now this man used to roam from town to town looking for a high school where he could stay and become the principal. But every where he went people would look down upon him. You sec this man had a problem, he was insane. This man's insanity was beginning to take a toll on him and he decided that it would probably be better if he would just stay away from c'niidren. He got away and moved up to the mountains to live out the remainder of his life. While in the mountains he began to write a book entitled: The Life of an Insane Man completion. Winter was just around the comer and he got to thinking that he had better build a warm shelter before it began to snow. So right away he began to build, after three weeks of hard labor he had a nice warm shelter ready to live in. When it snows, in the Rockies, it really snows. It snowed about four feet in three days and he got scared so he moved back to town. When he got in town he didn't ltave anything to do but wander around; he didn't have anything to wear either except a flannel coat and a pair of tattered biue jeans. A nice young principal, we'll just call him Mr. told the man that he could probably arrange it so that he could stay at the local high school. The nice-insaman P. got very excited when he heard this and he delightfully agreed to the arrangement The very next day the nice-insaman moved in to the high school. The man lived in the high school for about two years, in quiet not letting anyone know he was there, until one day he finally snapped. He then began a rampage through the building, making ne noises in the locker rooms, throwing things in the gym, and scaring the cooks. After the rampage was over the man climbed into the heating ducts and there he stayed, and there he still is. Every time you hear a rumble from the ceiling just know that it is that man roaming the heatducts. ing nice-in-sa- nice-insa- As you probably know this story isn't true.

Halloween was called All I lallovvs or All Saint's Day by these three different religions.
