That is exactly what one boy named Linus does in a TV show called \"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. \" Linus believes a magical creature called the Great Pumpkin will float up over the patch and bring toys to good children. He is so sure that he skips trick-or-treating and waits all night, holding tight to his fuzzy blue blanket.  \nWhile Linus waits, the rest of his friends are out having fun in the dark. This show comes from a comic strip called Peanuts, made by an artist named Charles Schulz. In the story, Charlie Brown tries to enjoy Halloween, but every treat he gets turns out to be a rock instead of candy! His friend Snoopy, a happy beagle, even dresses up and pretends to be a pilot flying a plane.  \nTurning a comic strip into a moving cartoon was slow, careful work back in 1966. Artists drew the show by hand, one picture at a time, so that flipping through them made the characters seem to move. A musician named Vince Guaraldi added cheerful piano music that you can still hum today. Because so many people loved the earlier Peanuts specials, this pumpkin story was made too.  \nThat first Halloween broadcast was more than fifty years ago, older than your grandparents were as kids. Ever since, families have gathered every October to watch it again, the way you might reread a favorite book. The show teaches that it is okay to believe in something even when your friends do not. And Linus never does give up, waiting each year for a Great Pumpkin that always keeps him guessing!  \nThe Great Pumpkin on TV  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is Linus waiting for in the pumpkin patch?\u003Cbr>A.
