    Once upon a time, in the spooky, creaky old house, there lived a big ghost and a little ghost. The big ghost was always hungry, while the little ghost just wanted to play.

    One day, a curious kid wandered into their home. The big ghost saw the kid and, with his deep, ghostly voice, said, 'BOO!' The kid got so scared they ran away as fast as they could!

    Not long after, another brave kid entered the house. The big ghost, being very hungry and a little bit grumpy, once again said, 'BOO!' And just like the first kid, this one got scared and dashed out of the house.

    While all this was happening, the little ghost kept playing, swooping and swirling through the rooms, having the best time ever.

    The big ghost found some yummy ghost food and had a nice meal. From that day on, no more kids dared to enter the house, because they knew that if they did, the big ghost would be waiting to say, 'BOO!'

    The little ghost played happily, the big ghost ate contentedly, and they both lived spookily ever after. The house remained a place of fun and food for the big ghost and the little ghost, and a place of spooky tales for the kids.
