Why do you use pumpkins for Halloween?
Legend has it that a man named JACK is a drunk and loves practical jokes. One day, JACK tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and then carved a cross on the stump, threatening the devil to make him afraid to come down. Then JACK made a pact with the devil to let him get down from the tree on the condition that the devil promised to cast a spell so that JACK would never commit a crime. After JACK's death, his soul can neither go to heaven nor go to hell, so his ghost had to wander between heaven and earth by a small candle. In the ancient Irish legend, this little candle was placed in a hollowed-out radish, and today, the ancient radish lamp has evolved into a Jack-O-Lantern made of pumpkin. It is said that soon after Irish people arrived in America, they found that pumpkins were superior to radishes in terms of source and carving, so pumpkins became Halloween pets.
