TWIGMAN FAMILY GOOSEBUMPS IN THE GRAVEYARD

LATE ONE AFTERNOON THORNY TWIG AND KNOBBY TWIG DECIDED TO TAKE FUZZY TWIG, THEIR LITTLE SISTER ALONG ON A WALK THROUGH THE FOREST. THEY WERE WALKING ALONG AND ENJOYING THE SONGS OF THE BIRDS AND THE BEAUTY OF THE TREES EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WAS COOL AND THE SKY WAS CLOUDY.

THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE TIME AND HOW FAR THEY WERE FROM HOME. THORNY SUDDENLY REALIZED THEY MUST GO BACK NOW AND THEY WOULD NEED TO HURRY TO GET HOME BEFORE DARK.

KNOBBY TWIG KNEW ABOUT A SHORT CUT THROUGH THE GRAVE YARD AND SAID THEY SHOULD TAKE IT BECAUSE THE SKY WAS NEARLY DARK NOW. FUZZY TWIG SAID, "I'M SCARED!" THORNY TWIG WAS ACTING BRAVE AND SAID, "DEAD PEOPLE CAN'T HURT YOU. LET'S GO!" BUT HE WAS NOT AS BRAVE AS HE WAS ACTING. KNOBBY LED THE WAY INTO THE GRAVE YARD. THEY WERE CAREFUL TO NOT BUMP INTO ANY TOMB STONES. NONE OF THEM WANTED TO DISTURB THE DEAD PEOPLE.

EVERYTHING WAS VERY QUIET. WHEN THEY REACHED THE MIDDLE OF THE GRAVE YARD. THEY HEARD A LOW SOUND! WHOOOO! WHOOO! ALL OF THE KIDS GOT INSTANT GOOSE BUMPS. THORNY TWIG'S GOOSE BUMPS WERE THE BIGGEST OF ALL AND HE SAID, "IT MUST BE A G-G-GHOST!" FUZZY TWIG SAID, "I'M SCARED!" KNOBBY TWIG WAS SCARED TOO. IN THEIR MINDS THEY COULD SEE A HUGE GHOST COMING AFTER THEM.

THEY BEGAN TO RUN AND A WHOOO, WHOOO CAME FROM IN FRONT OF THEM. KNOBBY TWIG SAID, "THERE MUST BE MORE THAN ONE GHOST! WE WILL JUST HAVE TO RUN PAST HIM. ALL OF THE CHILDREN NOW HAD HUGE GOOSE BUMPS. THEY RAN OUT OF THE GRAVE YARD AND DID NOT LOOK BACK.

WHEN THEY GOT HOME THE STORY ABOUT THE GHOSTS WAS TOLD TO TWIGMAN AND LEAFY TWIG. THEY STILL HAD THE GOOSE BUMPS AND SHOWED THEM TO THEIR PARENTS TO PROVE THE STORY.

TWIGMAN DID NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS SO HE INSISTED THEY GO BACK TO THE GRAVE YARD TO PROVE GHOSTS WERE ONLY IMAGINATION. THE CHILDREN DID NOT WANT TO GO BUT THEY HAD TO OBEY THEIR FATHER. THEIR GOOSE BUMPS CAME BACK.

WHEN THEY GOT TO THE GRAVE YARD TWIGMAN POINTED TO A TREE WHERE A BIG HOOT OWL WAS SITTING. THE OWL WAS SAYING WHOOO, WHOOO. TWIGMAN SAID TO HIS CHILDREN, "THERE IS YOUR GHOST." EVERYONE SUDDENLY LOST THEIR GOOSE BUMPS AND THORNY TWIG SAID, "I KNEW ALL ALONG THAT IT WAS NOT A GHOST." KNOBBY TWIG SAID, "BAAALONEY!"
