Chapter 1 : Ghost In the Town

It was night time. Mr. Prospero was narrating a story to Danny. "It was a time when people would believe in illusions. They thought that a person is always surrounded by the ghost, but we can only see them at night," said Prof. Prospero to Danny. And then Danny Slept. The next day Danny was frightened because of that story. At night, Prospero saw that Danny was scared. He asked," What happened? Why are you so frightened? "

           Danny replied," Pa I..I saw a GHOST." Prospero exclaimed," What! Have you gone mad? It might just be a nightmare! Go and sleep and let me sleep too." Prospero did not believe Danny. Being a rational thinker he never believed in ghosts.

     

          The next day Prospero met his best friend Marty. Marty was fearful. Prospero asked," What happened Marty? You're looking afraid! " He replied," I..I saw a ghost yesterday…" Prospero did not believe him and said," I don't believe this! Yesterday Danny and now you. I didn't expect this from you, Marty.

           Marty angrily replied," You didn't see that ghost, but half of the town saw that ghost. Some people are going to King. You too come with me." Then Prospero and Marty went to King Jasper Shearer. King Jasper Shearer was the king of Dorhaven kingdoms. Castlewall was 30 kilometers far from Northbell town where Mr. Prospero lived.

      One hour, they arrived at Dorhaven kingdom.  They went to the king's palace. After they entered the king's palace, the king asked, "What happened? Why you all are here? " As Prospero was the head of the group and was educated, he answered," Your Majesty I am Mr. Prospero Hampton and I am a researcher. We all are from Northbell Town. Yesterday, some of the people of our town had seen a ghost at midnight. Even my Seven-year-old son Danny had seen that ghost."

           Understanding the situation, the king replied," Anyone else had seen that ghost?" Marty answered," Your Majesty I am Martin Burnette and I am a Scientist. I am 24 years old. Yesterday night when I was coming from my laboratory, I saw a ghost which scared me and then it got invisible.

The king said," What should we do now? I don't know"

Then the king and the ministers started thinking for an idea...
