Barbaforte was a notorious town prankster, always ready with a new tale to scare the daylights out of the residents. This time, his target was Younes, the new kid in town.

Barbaforte spun his tale, claiming that every ghost train in the world was haunted, and that people had heart attacks out of sheer fright.

Seeing the sceptical look on Younes' face, Barbaforte embellished his story, describing grotesque ghosts and blood-curdling screams echoing through the carriages.

Despite the chilling tale, Younes was not scared. He had always been a brave boy, unfazed by Barbaforte's stories.

In an attempt to prove Barbaforte wrong, Younes decided to ride the ghost train at the local amusement park. He bought a ticket and waited for his turn.

As Younes entered the ghost train, he felt a rush of excitement. This was his chance to confront his fear and prove Barbaforte wrong.

Inside the ghost train, animatronics popped up unexpectedly, and eerie sounds filled the air. But Younes remained calm, looking at each spectacle with interest.

Younes felt the train move through different settings, each scarier than the last. But he focused on the mechanisms that made the animatronics move.

The ghost train journey ended with a simulated trip through a haunted house. Again, animatronics popped up, but Younes just smiled, enjoying the creativity behind the setup.

Finally, the ride ended. As Younes got out of the train, he was neither scared nor had he had a heart attack. He had enjoyed the ride.

Younes looked around at the other people who had just exited the ride. They were all fine, laughing and discussing the scariest parts of the ride.

It was clear to Younes that Barbaforte's tales were nothing but fiction. Ghost trains were not terrifying death traps, but amusing attractions.

Filled with a newfound sense of confidence, Younes decided to confront Barbaforte with his experience. He found Barbaforte at the local café, entertaining a group with his tall tales.

Younes boldly interrupted Barbaforte, recounting his adventure on the ghost train, and how he had not been scared at all. The café fell silent as everyone turned to Barbaforte.

Barbaforte was taken aback. He had not expected Younes to confront him, let alone in front of everyone. He stuttered, trying to come up with a counter-argument.

But the townsfolk were not convinced. They had heard Younes' story and seen his courage. Barbaforte's tales lost their power, his audience now sceptical.

That day, Younes became a local hero. Not for some great deed, but for standing up to Barbaforte and his tall tales. His bravery was admired by all.
