The Little Boy Ghost- Aarna Gupta

 

The Little Boy Ghost

Once upon a time, in a small house, there lived a family of four- mother, father and their two children. One day when the daughter was coming out of her room to have dinner with her parents and brother, she saw that the swing in their garden was moving. She immediately ran to her parents to tell them what had happened, but they did not quite believe her. The following night the same thing happened with her brother.

Again, the next day when the whole family was sitting and having dinner, they saw that a book was flying in the air. So, the parents went to the kids’ room to find out what was happening. The kids followed their parents and tiptoed towards their room.

To their surprise, they saw that a pencil was moving on its own. They were very scared and hid under the table to see who was doing this.

After a while, they saw a little boy ghost was studying and writing on the children’s books. The father finally mustered up the courage to speak to the ghost. He asked, “Who are you and what are you doing here?” The boy replied “I am here to study because one day a witch cast a spell on me as a result of which I had to leave my parents and become a ghost. The witch also said that if I had to come out of this spell then I must be touched by the person whose books I was using.’  

The children felt sad for the little boy. The father further said, “But why did you select our house?” The boy ghost said, “My parents’ home is opposite to yours so it was an easy choice for me. Will you please ask your kids to touch me so that I can go back to my parents and lead a happy life?”

So, the children came out from under the table and touched him. Within no time, he became a human being. Then, they all became friends and lived happily ever after.
