Lia, Isabella, Coco, Bingo, Safire and Taylor were very tired and did not want to do anything. "Go get some fresh air in the woods" said there mum Emma.
"Okay" said Coco. So they walked into the woods. Further in the woods, all of them were wondering if they were lost.
"Guys are we lost?" said Lia.
"Yeah" said Safire.
"Look a house" said Bingo. They ran to the house. Taylor knocked on the door. The door creeked open. As the door opened. The long lost ghost of shelly jelly was sitting on a rocking chair.
"Ahhhhhh" screamed all the kids.
"No no no don't be scared, I will help you" shelly jelly said.
"Can you get us out of here" said Taylor.
"Yes" said shelly jelly. So Shelly jelly lead the way out of the creepy house, into the woods.
They walked for a long time, until they reached the edge of the woods.
"bye" said the kids.
"Bye" said Shelly jelly. "And kids please do not tell anyone about me okay, or my ghost will fade away" said Shelly jelly.
"Okay" said the kids. The kids walked home.

"Finally your home, what took you so long?" said Emma.
"Definitely not a ghost!" smiled Bingo
"What?" said Emma
"Umm, nothing! we were having so much fun so we stayed there for a little while" said Lia.
"Okay" said Emma. And they lived happily ever after.
