    One day, Lily, a curious girl, moved into the neighborhood. She had heard about the Ghost Boy and was eager to meet him.

    That night, as Lily slept, she was visited by the Ghost Boy. He smiled and said, 'Lily, I'm here to teach you about right and wrong.'

    'Tomorrow, you'll face a moral dilemma. Remember, always choose what is right, even if it is not easy,' the Ghost Boy added before disappearing.

    The next day, Lily's classmate, Tom, dared her to steal a toy from the school store. Lily remembered the Ghost Boy's words.

    She decided not to steal. Instead, she explained to Tom why stealing is wrong. Tom was surprised but understood her point.

    The Ghost Boy appeared again, praising Lily for her decision. 'You chose what was right, Lily. I'm proud of you,' he said.
