10.　 　During the early morning of February 24, George White was traveling on a country road in Newberry when he fell asleep, ran off the road, and hit a tree head on. The accident was severe and he was unconscious. After 30 minutes or so, a newspaper carrier passed by. She noticed the crash and called 911. Before help arrived, this lady, a complete stranger, sat in her car beside George’s vehicle, and called out to him repeatedly: “ Help is on the way.” She wanted to get out of her car and help him in some way, but she couldn’t. She could only offer the comfort of her voice because she was handicapped and could not walk.

　　　 Several minutes later, the ambulance came and George was sent to a hospital. He is now home, and should have a complete recovery over the next few months.

Some festivals are held to honor the dead and to satisfy the ancestors. For the Japan festival Obon, people should go to clean the graves and light the incense in memory of their ancestors. In Mexico, people celebrated the Day of the Dead in early of November. In this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bones” on it. Halloween also had its origin in old belief about the return of the spirits of dying people. It is now children’s festival, where they can dress up and go to their neighbors’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbors do not give them any sweets, they might play a trick on them.
