A shy little ghost just wants a friend — a gentle, not-scary Halloween rhyme. A free Pagine Original early-reader story.
Little Ghost lived in a tall old house, all alone, as quiet as a mouse.
Every night he floated round and round, but Little Ghost made not a sound.
He wanted friends to laugh and play — but everyone would run away!
One night he heard a tiny cry: a lost black kitten, cold and shy.
“Don’t be scared,” said Ghost. “Stay near. I’ll keep you warm and safe right here.”
The kitten purred and snuggled tight. Little Ghost was warm that night.
Now every Halloween they say: “Boo!” — then giggle, then they play.
The End.
