What a strange night!

Once upon a time there lived a little girl. She was a princess for her grandparents and they loved her a lot. The family lived in a small house which was situated in the ordinary village.
So, the girl's room was upstairs. She liked it a lot, because there was a big window and before sleep she used to look at the night sky and count the brightest stars.
It was autumn. Everyone was preparing for such a horrible, but at the same time funny holiday. It was Halloween.  The girl used to decorate her house in a special way. But her grandparents were against decorating it with pumpkins. They seemed awful to them and very scaring. Only in the girl's room the pumpkin was placed. It was a kind of fun for the girl, to create a "Jumping-Pumpkin", as she called it. Co, she placed a candle in the pumpkin. It was great. The girl couldn't keep the joy of her creation.
The night before Halloween the girl looked at the stars and fall asleep, as usual. The "Jumping-Pumpkin" was standing on the table. But in the morning the trouble happened. There had been the girl's favorite ring on the table. But in the morning there was nothing. It has disappeared. The girl decided that the Pumpkin had stolen it.

So, in the evening of Halloween she wanted to look at the Pumpkin. She knew, it would be the result. She would expose it!
But, at the same time, the girl was scared a lot. It seemed fantastic that a pumpkin could become alive and steel her ring. But there were no any other ideas and it was Halloween, the night when everything seemed real.
In the evening she lighted the candle, put it in the pumpkin, put the other ring on the table near the pumpkin and went out of the room, instead of going to bed. But she didn't close the door. She was staying in front of the room, in the absolute gloom of the Halloween night. Everything was scaring. Every sound, every rustle, every blow of the wind were making her tremble. But she continued to look at the Pumpkin. She believed that she had to wait a little and she would expose this insidious robber.

And suddenly the raven flew in the room, caught the ring and flew away. The girl was shocked. She couldn't spell a word. "Oh, my God!", - she thought. - "The raven was my Halloween strange guest who had stolen my ring!"
And that moment the Pumpkin smiled to the girl and the candle blew out. "What a strange night!" - the girl said and went to bed.
