    >w/nce there was a timid

    teeny tiny ghost.

    He lived in a teeny tiny house

    ith two teeny tiny black cats.


    >Nll

    The teeny tiny ghost

    went to Teeny Tiny School.


    He learned his

    teeny tiny alphabet,

    shivered at spooky stories,

    and heard about Halloween.

    He had never been out on that night,

    but it sounded very scary.


    Each day after school

    the teeny tiny ghost

    tried to do his homework.


    "Haunting is very hard,"

    he told his teeny tiny black cats.

    They sat on the windowsill to watch.


    [M ''^XJOif
    /

    First he 6oooooed,
    then he whooooocd,

    till he made the rafters rumble


    and he had to hide his teeny tiny head.
    \

    Then he howwwwwkd
    and he yeowwwwwkd
    till the echoes came a-calling
    and he had to hide his teenv tinv head.
    !

    "I'll never learn,"

    wailed the teenv tinv ghost.

    Tm so timid, I scare mvself


    j

    And a teenv tinv tear

    slid down his cheek.

    His teenv tinv cats

    climbed on his lap,

    licked his teenv tinv face,

    and purrrcd their teeny tinv purrs.


    On Halloween night some eerie yellow lights
    bobbed by the house of the teeny tiny ghost.
    "What's that?" he said,

    holding his cats close.

    And his teeny tiny heart

    beat bumpety-bump.

    Then he heard RAP TAP TAP


    on his teeny tiny door.
    "Whoooos there?"
    called the teeny tiny ghost.
    "Let us in," cried the voices,

    and they sounded very big.


    .

    The teeny tiny ghost

    looked around.
    Could he hide?
    He slipped inside the

    grandfather clock.

    But he shivered and shook


    till he made the clock chime

    BING . . . BONG . .

    BING . . . BONG . . .BING.


    The teeny tiny ghost

    thought his head would explode.

    He undid the latch and escaped.


    RAP TAP TAP
    came the knocking
    on his teeny tiny door.

    "Let us in!" cried the voices,

    and they sounded very loud!


    The teeny tiny cats

    mewwwcd and meowwwcd.


    "Don't be afraid,"

    said the teeny tiny ghost.

    "I wont run away.

    I'll keep you safe.

    We have to be

    very very brave."


    The teeny tiny ghost

    took a long large breath.

    He hufffcd
    and he pufffed

    till he felt very big.


    He 6oooed,
    and he whooocd,

    till he felt very bold.

    He howwwwwkd,
    then he yeowwwwwlcd,
    and he sounded very loud.
    Then he heard hands clapping,

    and he heard voices cheering,

    "Bravo! for the teeny tiny ghost/

    "It's Halloween! Trick or treat!"

    cried the ghosts from his school,

    and they pranced about

    in costumes and masks.


    His best friend, Gilbert,

    wore a blue sailor suit.

    He tooted tiny tunes

    on a teeny tiny horn.


    His teeny tiny teacher
    had a hat and cape.

    'You can be a magician

    with your teeny tiny cats!


    Then the teeny tiny ghost

    and his teeny tiny friends

    sailed up the street on parade.

    i
    They tapped on teeny windows,
    they rapped on tiny doors,

    while jack-o'-lanterns smiled

    in the bat-black night.
