In a small, cozy attic, Flinn the ghost lived alone. He was very shy.

Flinn was scared of loud noises. Even the creak of the floor made him jump!

One stormy night, Flinn heard a loud thump. He hid under an old blanket.

The thump was just a book that had fallen. Flinn peeked out and sighed in relief.

Every day, Flinn watched children playing outside, laughing and having fun.

Flinn wished he could play too, but he was too afraid to leave the attic.

One day, a brave little girl named Emma climbed to the attic. 'Hello?' she called.

Flinn wanted to hide, but something about Emma's voice was comforting.

Slowly, Flinn showed himself. 'Hi, I'm Emma. Want to be friends?' she asked.

Flinn nodded. With a friend, he felt a little less fearful.

Together, they read the book that had fallen. Flinn forgot to be frightened.

Now, Flinn plays with the children outside. He's the happiest ghost around!
