This was called guising, which means going door to door in a disguise. But there was a catch: to get a treat, you first had to sing a song, tell a joke, or say a little poem. People still call this night Oiche Shamhna, which is the Irish language name for Halloween.  \nLong before candy, kids in Ireland and Scotland got apples, nuts, or coins for their little shows. One favorite treat was barmbrack, a sweet bread with a ring baked right inside it. People told a fun story that whoever found the ring in their slice would have good luck! So finding the hidden ring in your piece was a delicious surprise.  \nThat warm bread went well with the bright fires people built outside. Long ago, families lit big bonfires to celebrate the end of the harvest, when the last crops were gathered. The word bonfire means a large outdoor fire, and neighbors would gather around it to stay warm and share stories. Because the nights were getting dark and chilly, the glowing fires felt cozy and cheerful.  \nNear those fires, people carved something that might surprise you: turnips, not pumpkins! They scooped out the inside of a turnip and cut a face into it, then placed a little light inside to make a glowing lantern. When people from Ireland and Scotland later moved to America, they found big, easy pumpkins and switched to those instead. So the next time you carve a pumpkin, remember it started as a tiny, tough turnip across the sea!  \nHalloween in Ireland and Scotland  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is guising?\u003Cbr>A.
