Wisdom

One dark Knight in a small little village in holland there was a castle and the keeper of the castle was a little ghost. Now each night this little ghost would awake from his slumber to make rounds in the castle to be sure all was well. But before he would be ordered to bed by his clock, he would speak to his friend wise owl. He called the owl wisdom because the owl had been there for many years and seen ghosts come and go at the castle.

But the little ghost was young and been round for 400 years and was only allowed an 1 hour a night. The little ghost was sad he wanted to see the castle in the day light. One day the clock maker was doing some work on the towns clock and while working on the towns clock he stopped the clock for 12 hours not knowing this would disrupt the little ghosts schedule. The little ghost woke up but instead of night it was day. The little ghost was happy to finally see his castle in the day. The people did not expect to be terrorized by a ghost who in the light of the sun turned black as night. He was scared and not sure what happened to himself. He flew all over town scaring people left and right he was not intending to for he was a friendly little ghost.

The towns cryer wrote in papers about the little black terror who showed at noon everyday and disappeared after into the shadows of the unknown. The ghost was missing his wise owl friend and not sure how to get a message to him at all. He wished hard that he could go back to being a night time ghost. One day a boy and his friends visited the castle and saw the little black ghost he tried to run from the children but they followed him everywhere he went. The little ghost stopped and asked why, why do you follow me do I not scare you. The children answered no we want to help you please tell us how we can help you.

The little ghost sat and thought and spoke to his mouse friends and they told him the clock maker could help him out. For every ghost there is a clock maker who manages and handles their clock. The only clock maker in town was Zimmermans and so the children and the ghost went to visit.

Mr, Zimmerman was at first taken back by the black ghost. Then he said your the one everyone has been talking about. I want to be a night a ghost again please help me locate my clock. The clock maker was confused it could be any clock we need to know what clock belongs to you. So the little ghost said to his friends go to the castle tonight here are my keys they will unlock any door you need. Find my friend wise owl and he will tell you what we seek.

That night the kids ran out and went to the castle shook the keys and the gates opened wide. The kids walked the castle grounds till finally they heard the whoot of an owl close by. The children asked Mr. wise owl are you here. The owl answered back by saying close the light please my eyes are very sensitive to the light thank you. The children did as he asked and they held the keys to hear him speak. He told the kids the little ghosts clock is the town hall clock.

The next day the kids went to the clock maker and told him they needed to get to the town hall clock immediately. The little ghost sleeping in a suit case being carried by the children to the town hall. The clock maker had no key but the kids had the ghosts keys and shook them and the door opened wide. They ran in and closed the door behind them. Climbing the stairs the clock maker and the children looked the clock over and started too fast forward the time so the little ghost would wake up at nighttime again.

When the night arrived the little ghost stretched his arms wide and grabbed his keys and looked out the window to see black night and he jumped for joy. The ghost flew out the window in a flash and got in the bright moonlight and changed back to snow white. The ghost was so happy to see his friend wise owl and wise owl was happy to see his friend little ghost. The ghost told his friend all about his adventures and how he missed talking to him most of all. The end
