Smurfette says that being good is being kind to all living creatures great and small, while Hefty says that being good is keeping fit and taking care of your health.

Even though they weren't able to help with the Halloween Bash this year, they can still go together and have fun. Upon reaching the village, Brainy tells Smurfette that Papa Smurf already has enough trouble teaching him how to be a wizard, and also adds that witches are ignorant creatures who could never truly know how to be good. Hefty suggests that she can try being good instead, but again Brenda doesn't know what being "good" means.
