One day, a little boy named Tim went to play outside. It was a cold day, but he put on his warm coat and hat. He liked to play near the big tree in his yard. As he played, he saw a white thing behind the tree. It was a ghost!
"Hello," said the ghost. "I am lost. Can you help me return home?"
Tim was brave and wanted to help. He took the ghost's hand and they walked together. They walked and walked until they found a small house. The ghost stopped and looked at Tim.
"Thank you for helping me," said the ghost. "Now, I have a surprise for you."
The ghost changed into a big, friendly dog! Tim was so happy. The dog was not a ghost at all, but a lost pet. The dog licked Tim's face and wagged its tail. Tim and the dog played and became best friends. They returned home together and were never cold or scared again.
