Tessa the Trick or Treating Skeleton

Once upon a time, in a spooky town filled with friendly monsters, there lived a skeleton named Tessa. Tessa was no ordinary skeleton - she loved to dress up and celebrate Halloween with her friends. The Halloween night arrived, and Tessa was excited to go trick or treating with her monster buddies.

Tessa and her friends had planned their route and made sure to visit every house in the neighborhood. They knocked on doors, and with each successful trick or treat, their bags filled up with delicious candy. Tessa's favorite was the sweet and sour gummy worms.

As the night went on, Tessa noticed a little monster sitting alone on a porch, looking sad. His name was Milo, a tiny mummy. Tessa went up to him and asked if he was okay. Milo explained that he wanted to join the fun, but no one invited him to go trick or treating.
