Once upon a time, there was a ghost named Casper who lived in a haunted house. Every Halloween, he would play tricks on the humans who came to his door for treats. One year, Casper saw a pumpkin and had an idea. He carved a clever face into the pumpkin and placed it outside his door. When the trick-or-treaters arrived, they were greeted by the spooky pumpkin and Casper's ghostly laughter. Suddenly, a spider crawled out of the pumpkin and started crawling up the children's legs. The kids screamed and ran away as fast as they could! From then on, Casper became known as the trickster of Halloween and all the children were extra careful when visiting his haunted house.
