Once upon a Halloween night, in the small town of Goody Gourd, a curious boy named Ben decided to explore an old, abandoned mansion. The townsfolk said was haunted, but Ben, not deterred by spook tall tales, bravely entered.
Doors creaked, and the echoes of his footsteps filled the air, causing Ben’s heart to pound like a drum in a rock concert. Suddenly, he felt a chilling breeze that made his spine shudder. He turned around to see an ethereal apparition: an old man dressed in tattered but elegant clothes, with big hollow eyes.
“Why are you here?” the ghost asked, his voice as chilling as the breeze. Ben stammered his naive curiosity. The ghost chuckled, and to Ben’s surprise, began a magic show, juggling transparent objects and even his head. Ben watched with wide-eyed amazement.
As he departed, the ghost saluted him with a grin and disappeared. Running home, Ben excitedly shared his haunted house adventure, but the townsfolk didn’t believe him.
The next day, a mystery gift arrived at Ben’s door: a top hat and a card, reading “FROM, THE GHOST MAGICIAN.” Grinning, Ben realized the Halloween night hadn’t been a dream. The real fun in Goody Gourd had just begun!
