The Friendly Ghost

Once upon a time, in a magical land called Fantasia, there lived a friendly ghost named Casper. Casper was kind and gentle, but he was also very lonely. He wanted to have a family and friends just like the creatures in the real world.

Every night, Casper would wander around Fantasia, watching families and friends having fun together. He wished he could join them and play games, share stories, and have adventures. But because Casper was a ghost, he could only watch from a distance.
