Once upon a time their was a very kind ghost that liked to trick people by whispering in their ears. One day he scared a baby and whispered in his ear ' Thanks for the lollipop ' and the little baby screamed so loud that the ghost back to his cave. But nobody knew that there was a wizard lurking beneath the cave with the powerful but lazy fire breathing dragon, and the dragon did not like to be woken up. The wizard was tired of having to be lurking in the shadows, so he woke up the dragon and put a random spell on him and by the time the dragon got back the whole town was...... DESTROYED!!!
The ghost was watching the dragon and he followed the dragon back to his layer and he decided he would talk to him. So he floated in and the wizard noticed him and shouted WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? The ghost was shocked he answered I came to ask why you burned the town down sir, what do you mean? The wizard asked, come and have a look replied the ghost in two seconds he heard a low cry and the wizard said I am so sorry I will do anything to repay the damage I have caused. Soon after the ghost answered Well we could use some help rebuilding the town. Two weeks later the town was rebuilt and the wizard and the can't forget about the dragon they were all friends.
