The Friendly Ghost

Once upon a time, in a small town called Oakwood, there lived a 14-year-old girl named Lily. Lily had been going through a tough time lately, struggling with loneliness and sadness. One night, as she lay in bed, feeling overwhelmed, a soft glow filled her room. To her surprise, a friendly ghost named Casper appeared before her. Casper had a kind smile and an ethereal glow around him. 'Hello, Lily,' he said, 'I'm here to help you.'

Casper told Lily that he had the power to see people's emotions and offer guidance. He explained that he was drawn to those who needed help the most. 'How can I help you?' he asked. With tears in her eyes, Lily confided in Casper about her struggles. She told him about feeling left out at school and her longing for true friendship. Casper listened attentively, understanding the pain she was going through.
