THE STORY TELLER

Once upon a time far off country side lived a naughty boy named mattu full of pranks cracking jokes among friends and frighten them with his scary haunted stories. He used to narrate incidents in such a way that you will think twice weather to believe or not. In this era where we look like ghost that real ghost too will die looking at us.He used to narrate incidents in such a way that you would get goose bumps.

One day so happened as mattu was narrating a story how ghost entered his room called his name pulled his blanket whispered in his ears wake up you lazy Bone time for school all his friends started shivering with fear and ran away to their homes, seeing this mattu was full of joy and was laughing out loud and was thinking how foolish of them to believe my stories. Suddenly he hears his mom shouting it’s dinner time come soon else no food for you. Mattu wow dinner time chicken lolly pop here I come. After having a hearty meal said good night to all and off to bed to see some real nice dreams smiling to himself how he fooled his friends and had such a great fun and off he goes to sleepzzzzzzzzz

Next morning he hears his mom shouting wake up else you will be late for school hurry up suddenly he felt as if someone pulled his blanket and gave one tight slap all of sudden he woke up and saw his mom cleaning the floor thought to himself it must be mum, mum smiled back what happened my dear come on hurry up or you will be late for school.

As he was about to brush his teeth he felt as if someone was standing beside him like a skeleton mattu shivered with fright and could feel goose bumps in him. He thought to himself it’s my imagination me still in sleepy mood but to his surprise he saw a ghost head with no hair eyes popping out no tooth nose like an Ox and brushing his teeth. The ghost gave a wink to mattu good morning I am your soul mate mattu got so scared up ran out of the bathroom shouting ghost ghost mom scolded him thinking another new prank for not going to school scolded him and said have your bath as soon as possible. AS he took off his cloths he heard a voice welcome back you baby elephant with fright he was dumb folded the ghost grabbed him down his bath tub upside down it seems as if the ghost enjoying a lot rubbing him down with brush as if he is washing some cloths and singing a song mai bhoot hu boot hu mai. His mom shouted stop singing and come out soon, with a big bang rolled in a towel like a cigar he comes out red like a tomato ready to be eaten top to bottom shivering like an iron pillar as if someone hit him with a stone.

Mom that’s like a good boy it seems today u had a very nice bath with your ghost now get ready soon before the school bus comes me going to make some yum yum snacks for your tiffin. As mattu started combing his hair he could see the ghost too combing his bald head with a knife and dancing on the tune to Michal Jackson album thriller thriller mattu was soo scared that he started chanting slogans and promised that he would never narrate scary stories to his friends and will always be good to them.

Then the ghost said okie I will not trouble you any more hope you will stick to your promise else I will roll you by your leg in thin silver foil and eat you up with my special red sauce like chicken lolly pop beware I just love chicken lolly pop. Mattu got so scared that he promised he will stick to his promise and started praying and as he opened his eyes he saw his mom telling him get up my dear son time for school be ready till then I will make chicken lolly pop for your tiffin hearing this mattu shouted noooo chicken lolly pop I will do whatever you say from today I will be a good boy no more pranks.

Mom was surprised to see such a drastic change in him she too was happy made some sandwiches for him and gave a kiss on his cheek and waved good bye have a nice day.

From that day mattu never troubled his friends and stopped eating chicken lolly pop too and was known for his good behavior among his friend circle forever…..
