Leo was a little boy. He was very frightened of ghosts. One morning, when he was having breakfast,
his elder brother Sammy said to him, "Leo, last night I saw a ghost boy in our house!" Hearing this, Leo
began to cry.
"What is the matter?" asked Leo's mother. "I'm scared!" cried Leo. "I don't want to share our house
with a ghost! I'm staying awake all night tonight!" "He's not scary, really, "explained Sammy. "He is very
kind and helpful. You don't have to worry."
At 9 o'clock that night, Leo's mother told him to get ready for bed. "Good night. Leo." she said.
"Sleep well!" Leo lay there in the darkness wide awake.
Sleep was impossible. Suddenly, Leo felt as if someone was watching him. He looked around, but
he couldn't see anything. He lay back down. Then he heard a boy's nice voice. "Go to sleep. Close your
eyes, please." Leo closed his eyes and began to relax. "There, there," said the voice again. "It is time for
sleep now. Sweet dreams, Leo." Within a few minutes, Leo was fast asleep. At this time, Leo's mother
saw Sammy walk secretly out of Leo's bedroom.
