Halloween hat längst auch bei uns einen festen Platz im Kalender. Kleine Gruselgestalten ziehen am Abend des 31. Oktober von Tür zu Tür, rufen "Süßes, sonst gibt's Saures!" und fordern Leckereien ein. Aber warum eigentlich? Wer hat damit angefangen?

Und diese Untoten, die Vampire und Dämonen, als die sich die Kinder an Halloween so gern verkleiden - gibt es sie nun oder nicht? Immerhin sind sie so gegenwärtig, dass jüngst die archäologische Forschung auf sie aufmerksam wurde...

All the dinosaurs are getting ready for Passover, but no one will come to Tyrannosaurus Rex's seder because they think he will eat them. This gives him terrible tsuris, the Yiddish word for "worry." "You think you have tsuris?" Stegosaurus asks. "I can't find parsley for my seder." "And I can't find a brisket big enough to feed all my cousins. That's what you call tsuris!" Allosaurus says. But when T-Rex wails, "I have no guests for my seder!" all the dinosaurs agree that his tsuris is the worst, as the most important part of the seder is sharing it with guests.
