Once upon a crisp, chilly October night, there lived a jovial little pumpkin named Pippin. Pippin had always aspired to be the star of Halloween. Excitement so intense, you could carve it!
Just a hop, skip, and a jump away, in a dusty old mansion, a grumpy ghost named Guffaw was pondering his boring afterlife. His eternal headache? A hearty laugh. Ghosts were supposed to be scary, but all Guffaw wanted to do was giggle!
On Halloween Eve, an idea flashed in Pippin’s pulpy mind. He invited Guffaw over and told him an old pumpkin joke: “What did one Jack-o’-lantern say to the other?” he began, “Cut it out!”. For the first time, Guffaw guffawed!
That laughter echoed through the valley, sending an uproarious shiver of delight in everyone. The whispers of the wind carried the mirthful ghost’s tale, making it the best Halloween anyone had ever experienced.
And what became of Pippin and Guffaw? Well, from that day on, Halloween was haunted… by laughter. The star of Halloween wasn’t a ghoulish ghost or a terrifying monster, but a laugh-loving ghost and a witty pumpkin!
