They weren't asking for chocolate at all. They were asking their neighbors to drop in spare coins to help children far away who had lost their homes after World War II. By the end of the night, those kids had collected about seventeen dollars in nickels and pennies!  \nThose first jingling cans grew into something you might spot on a doorstep  \ntoday: the little orange collection box. A minister named Clyde Allison and his wife, Mary Emma, helped start the idea, sending the money they gathered to a group called UNICEF. UNICEF is a part of the United Nations that works to help children all over the world. The bright orange color made the boxes easy to see, and soon kids across the United States were carrying them from house to house.  \nCarrying an orange box turned trick-or-treating into something bigger than a sugar rush. Instead of only filling their own pillowcases with candy, children were filling a box for kids they had never met. The program earned a friendly name, \"Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF,\" and it spread to schools, churches, and neighborhoods. Can you imagine your whole class collecting coins on the same night? That is exactly what happened.  \nSo where do all those coins actually go? The money helps buy real things that children need, like clean water, medicine, food, and school supplies. A handful of coins might not seem like much, but when thousands of kids collect together, the pennies add up fast. Over the years, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has raised many millions of dollars to help children in more than one hundred countries.  \nThat means a small orange box has done something a candy bar never could. It turned one Halloween night in Philadelphia into a tradition that has lasted more than seventy years. The next time you see one of those boxes, remember that a few jingling coins can travel across the world to help a child you will never meet.  \nUNICEF Trick-or-Treat Boxes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What were the children in Philadelphia collecting on Halloween in 1950?\u003Cbr>A.
