Once upon a Halloween night, a mischievous kid named Billy decided to explore an abandoned house at the end of his street. Brimming with courage, he chose the haunted mansion as his last stop for trick or treating.
Armed with his Halloween candy-filled bag and bravery, he tiptoed up the creaky front porch. A gust of wind blew pushing open the giant wooden door with a screech. “Trick or Treat,” Billy stuttered, swallowing his nerves.
Suddenly, a deafening laughter echoed throughout the house. Billy’s heart pounded in his chest as an apparition floated towards him. It was hard to tell, but it seemed…friendly?
It cheerfully exclaimed, “Ah, finally! Someone brave enough to trick or treat here! Look, I have been waiting all eternity for a small favor.” Billy looked puzzled but nodded.
“See those cobwebs in the corner? I can’t reach them. Been bothering me for ages. Could you…?” the Phantom pleaded, pointing at a dusty, spider-ridden corner with a bony finger.
Relieved, Billy burst out laughing, “I thought you were going to eat me or something!” Grateful, he cleared the cobwebs. After, the Ghost gave Billy an enormous bag of candy, making Billy’s Halloween the most unforgettable one yet!
Who knew? The Phantom of the Haunted House was only after a late… SPRING CLEANING!
