 Once there was a boy name Nile, who loved to play.  Anywhere, anytime, or anyone, it did not matter to Nile  he just wanted to play.  In one particular morning, Nile had watched Casper the friendly ghost. Casper was a good ghost, who liked to help people rather than scare them.  Nile liked Casper a lot, and decided for that day he was going to be a ghost.  But instead of being a 
 friendly ghost like casper, nile wanted to be a scary ghost. Nile's mom, dad, and sister were home, and Nile planned to scare them all.
      Nile decided to scare his mom first.  Nile knew that his mom was severely  scared of cats, so he thought that since his mom would literally shriek in the presence of something as harmless as a cat, she would easily be scared by a ghost. But first Nile had to make himself look like a ghost, so he went into his closest and looked for a blanket he could wear.  There was blue, green, and white blanket, and Nile choose to wear the white blanket, because to Nile it made him look most like a ghost. Nile went to bathroom, put the white blanket over his head, looked at the mirror, and said a good boo. Nile was certain that he would scare his mom. Now, Nile had to go find his mom so he could scare her. Nile searched throughout the house but he could not find her, so he asked his sister, named Camryn, where his mom was.  Camryn told Nile that his mom was outside gardening.  Nile quickly ran outside, and spotted his mom gardening the tulips.  Nile decided to hide behind one of her pine trees and would yell boo, and he thought he would certainly scare her. Nile saw his mom about to walk by the tree, so he jumped out said boo, and Nile's mom screamed.  Nile's mom said "Jesus Nile! I almost had a heart attack" Nile ran into his house, in search for his next victim.
    Nile decided to scare his sister next.  He knew she would be harder to scare them his mom, but since she was only four, he thought it would not be too hard to scare her. Nile was so happy after scaring his mom, he decided to jump on couch, but Nile was unaware of his surrounding because of the blanket over his head, and tripped and smacked his head on his families concrete fireplace, and became unconscious.  Nile's mom saw him laying there lifeless, and screamed, his mom quickly took the blanket off his head splashed water on his face. Nile regained conscious, woke up and his mom said "Nile no more ghost for you". Nile did not know what she was saying because he did not remember ever being a ghost. Nile the went outside to play, as if nothing had happened.
