Once upon a time, a group of friends went to a haunted house. They were excited to have a mystery riddle party!

Inside the haunted house, they met a ghost named Casper. He was a friendly ghost with a white sheet and glowing eyes.

Casper told the friends that to escape the haunted house, they must solve three riddles hidden in different rooms.

The first riddle was: 'I am tall when I am young and short when I am old. What am I?'

After thinking hard, one of the friends shouted, 'A candle! The answer is a candle!' That was correct!

With the first riddle solved, the friends moved on to the second room. They saw a vampire named Victor wearing a black cloak and sharp fangs.

Victor asked the friends the second riddle: 'I am full of keys but can't open any locks. What am I?' The friends thought carefully to find the answer.

Suddenly, one of the friends shouted, 'A piano! The answer is a piano!' Victor smiled and congratulated them for solving the riddle.

Now with two riddles solved, the friends entered the final room. There, they found a witch named Wendy with a pointy hat and a broomstick.

Wendy gave them the last riddle: 'I have a heart that doesn't beat. What am I?' The friends put their heads together to figure out the answer.

After a few minutes, one friend exclaimed, 'A deck of cards! The answer is a deck of cards!' Wendy clapped and praised their cleverness.

With all the riddles solved, Casper, Victor, and Wendy congratulated the friends. They waved goodbye as the friends happily left the haunted house.
