DEAR SUN SPOTS: I just wanted to relay an act of kindness which occurred on Halloween night.

Over 100 trick-or-treaters visited my home, and I was running out of candy. In fact, there were only eight pieces left in my basket.

Suddenly a large group of trick-or-treaters appeared. I apologized and explained my predicament. They all emptied their bags of candy into nearly empty basket, saying, “Now you have lots of candy!”

What a “sweet” gift. We need to keep such kind acts close to our hearts and share them with others. — Anne, Lewiston

ANSWER: That is a very sweet story. Thank you, Anne!
