The Ghost in the House
There is a ghost in the house. He doesn’t know why he’s there. He keeps poking around, knocking things over. He wanders this way and that, wondering why he’s there.
There is a little girl who is the only one who can see him. She’s not afraid of him. She tries to talk to him, but his ears don’t work. He can’t hear her. She takes his hand. That works. He can feel her, and she can hold onto his hand. She leads him down the stairs, keeping him clear of other things so he doesn’t knock them over. She leads him out the front door, outside.
The ghost looks up and sees the moon. He likes it.
The little girl lets go of his hand and he walks back toward the house. She catches him before he gets up the front steps and leads him back to the front yard. He sees the moon again and really wants to go there. When she lets go of his hand, he turns and walks back toward the house again. Quickly, she catches him and leads him back to the front yard where he can see the moon. He looks up at it again, wanting to go there.
This time, when she lets go of his hand, she blows a puff of air toward him. He rises up off the ground. She blows another puff of air, and he rises off the ground a little more. He is happy about this.
She starts to wave goodbye. The more she waves, the higher he rises. She keeps waving until the ghost rises up to the moon.
When the ghost arrives, the moon shines even more brightly than before.
The little girl goes back to the house and starts to put things back in place, one thing at a time, fixing the places that were broken. It will take some time, but the ghost will not be back.
