Cavities, Candy, and Charlie

Once upon a Halloween night, Charlie the ghost comes out at night. Charlie would often arrogate other the kids’ Halloween candy while they are alseep. He did not like the idea of kids eating too much candy, due to the fact that they could get cavities. Charlie’s goal this Halloween was to get the kids to eschew the idea of sugary candy. This Halloween, Charlie planned on finding a talisman that will magically change the kids’ taste buds to not like sweet candy. He mixed up witches' toenails, green goblins’ spit, the crushed up talisman, and candy corn to make a brackish, salty potion to put on the candy. He took his plan into action by dissembling himself as a human by putting on a wig and clothes. Charlie poured his magical potion into the bowl of Halloween candy he planned to set out. The kids trick-or-treated all night eating their yummy, sweet candy. Then, Charlie’s house caught the kids by surprise. The children ate his candy, but they thought it had a more piquant taste than usual which caused them to never want to eat candy again. Charlie was successful that Halloween, as the kids brushed their teeth thoroughly that night trying to get the nasty taste away from Charlie’s candy.
