HALLOWEEN CONTEST ---- 1ST PRIZE

This story is about an intensive friendship between a boy

named Joey and his white dog named Ghost. These two

friends were very close and they had lots of adventures

in the countryside. Everybody liked Ghost and a person

named Farmer Green particularly appreciated the

friendship between Joey and his dog.

One day, they were hunting squirrels and Ghost barked

to Joey because it wanted to protect its friend from a

large black snake that was next to a rock near him.

On the next day, Joey woke up, he couldn’t find Ghost.

His father told him that Ghost had died because it was too old.

Joey was heartbroken. He couldn’t believe that Ghost, his best friend, would never come back.

One day, Joey ventured farther than he had ever gone before. Suddenly, he lost his footing and

landed on a ledge below and he hurt his leg. He yelled for help but nobody could hear him.

Farmer Green was working in his field, when he saw a white dog running towards him. This

dog was exactly like Ghost. The dog barked, grabbed the man’s trousers in its mouth and tried

to pull him along. Farmer Green followed the dog but suddenly it disappeared. The only thing

that the farmer could hear was Joey yelling for help. The farmer saw Joey in danger and he

used a vine to rescue the boy.

Farmer Green was taking Joey to his home when Joey told him that the dog that Farmer Green

was talking about wasn’t Ghost, because it had died a month ago.

The moral of the story is that: in our lives, friendship is the best treasure that we can have.
