Example:
Bob did not like Halloween. The pamphlets he gave the children explaining just how bad the corn syrup and refined sugar was for them, did not go over well. Those miniature mephistophelian miscreants let the air out of his tires, egged his house and performed other devilish Halloween tricks. What really bothered Bob was when their parents helped!
Happy Halloween!
