"Boo!" Suzie's brother screeched as he jumped from behind her 

bedroom door. "I scared you!"

"Did not," declared Suzie. "Did, too," replied her brother.

"I am not arguing with you now, Tony," said Suzie. "I have a lot on my 

mind. I need to come up with that perfect costume for Halloween and 

it is only 2 weeks away."  

"Aw, that's," said Tony. " I am going to be a Superhero. Why don't 

you be one, too."

"No way," said Suzie. "Superhero stuff is for boys." "Is not," said 

Tony. "Is, too," said Suzie. "Is..."

"Stop!" screamed Suzie. "I am not going through that again. Now go 

be Batman, or Spiderman, or Hulk or whoever else you are this week 

and leave me alone."   "Fine," replied Tony as he skulked away.

"Now," thought Suzie, "it is time for me to get serious about 

my Halloween costume. I don't want to be just any old 

monster, or princess, or cartoon character OR Superhero. I 

want to be Suzie, the girl with the Halloween costume that 

when everyone looks at it will say, "Hey that's Suzie in her 

costume. She really know who she is."

As Suzie marked off the days on her calendar, she knew she 

needed to come up with something soon. Maybe one of those 

Halloween catalogues would help. Suzie dug through her 

mom's magazine basket searching for that special catalogue. 

at last, Suzie found it.

"Ah ha," she cried.   "I am sure to find the answer to my problem 

on these pages." Suzie Flipped through each page of the magazine, 

"A witch, no way. A princess, not again. Devil? Angel? Fairy?" 

Nothing seemed to be what she wanted to be.

The next morning at breakfast, Suzie's mom asked if she made a decision about 

her costume. "You know, Suzie," she said, "Halloween is almost here. You need to 

decide what you want to be or soon there will be nothing left in the stores. Then 

what will we do?"

Suzie did not answer her mom. She couldn't. She didn't know what she wanted to 

be.

At lunch in school that day, there was much talk about who was 

going to be what for Halloween. The day was rapidly approaching 

and the students were beginning to feel the excitement of 

dressing up, Halloween parades and trick or treating. Suzie 

listening but did not share in the excitement.

"So, Suzie," her friend Annie asked, "what have you decided to be for 

Halloween? You know I have decided to be Glinda, the Good Witch from The 

Wizard of OZ. I am so excited! I wish I could in a bubble in the parade just 

like Glinda."

Suzie smiled and nodded her head. That was okay for her friend Annie, but it 

was not what she wanted to be. Annie suggested she go as Dorothy or even the 

Wicked Witch of the West so they looked like they were both from the Wizard 

of Oz. Suzie just shook her head. She was not interested.
