Once upon a time, on Halloween night, there was a friendly spider named Spinni. Spinni loved to play tricks and make people laugh. One day he decided to put his trickster skills to the test by playing a trick on his friends.

Spinni went to the pumpkin patch and found the biggest pumpkin he could carry. He carved the pumpkin into a ghost and set it up in front of his friend's house. When they came out to get their Halloween treat, they were frightened by the ghost!

Spinni burst out laughing and revealed that it was all a trick. His friends were relieved and laughed along with him. They all agreed that Spinni was the best trickster around and gave him a special treat for his cleverness.

The End.
