  • When 86-year-old Brenda Burdon was visited by three young trick-or-treaters, she had to apologize since she had no treats to give.
  • The next day, the kids returned to give her a Halloween package that included a touching card, a £10 note, and an assortment of treats!
  • Brenda was so touched that she prepared gifts for the three kids in the hopes that they return.

Three young trick-or-treaters, Jessie, Olivia, and Walter, visited the home of 86-year-old Brenda Burdon in Denton, Newcastle, on Thursday to ask for some treats. But the kind granny unfortunately had no treats to offer them, so she apologized to the hopeful kids.

The kids replied, “It’s OK, because sometimes making people happy and getting a nice big smile is reward enough.”

The great-grandmother was then surprised when the kids returned the next day — not to ask her if she had treats this time, but to give her an assortment of treats!

The Halloween care package contained chocolates, muffins, a card, and a £10 note. It completely made Brenda’s day!

Brenda’s grandson, Danny Parker, said, “I spent a few hours with her that afternoon and she was just lost in happiness that total strangers could leave such a wonderful impression. She is 86 and said this was the best Halloween of her life.”

Brenda was so touched by the children’s actions that she wanted to gift them back. She insisted on returning the £10 and giving them presents to reward their generosity.

She has since been waiting for the kids to come back so she can hand them their gifts.

Sadly, the kids have yet to return. In the meantime, Brenda set aside their gifts by her front door.

“The £10 is also waiting because she wants to give it back to them so they can spend it on themselves,” added Danny.
