Ruby's Ghost Lantern Request

Courage Watercolor style

In the heart of Oxfordshire on Halloween night, a curious girl named Ruby is asked by a ghost to find a lost lantern in the woods. With courage and the help of new friends, she must overcome obstacles to bring light back to the ghostly forest.

It was Halloween night in Oxfordshire. Ruby, a curious 7-year-old with red hair and a green stripe, was out trick-or-treating. Suddenly, she met a ghost who seemed very sad. The ghost asked Ruby to find a lost lantern deep in the misty woods. Without the lantern, the ghost and its friends would remain lost in the darkness.

Ruby agreed to help and entered the dark woods. She felt a chill run down her spine. Suddenly, she stumbled over a root and fell. Ruby got up and dusted herself off, but the path ahead was hard to see. She heard a hooting sound and looked up to see an owl.

- Who are you? Ruby asked. - I am Oliver the Owl, and I can guide you, said the owl. - Thank you, Oliver! Ruby exclaimed. With Oliver's guidance, Ruby felt a bit braver. Together, they continued deeper into the woods.

As they ventured further, a mischievous goblin appeared. - You shall not pass! the goblin cackled. - We need to find the lantern! Ruby pleaded. The goblin threw a heap of leaves at them, making it hard to see. Ruby and Oliver struggled to find their way.

Ruby felt her courage waver as they got lost in the leaves. - I don't know if we can do this, she said. - Don't give up, Ruby! Oliver encouraged. They kept moving, but the goblin's tricks made it harder and harder. Ruby's legs were tired, and she started to lose hope.

Ruby sat down on a log, feeling defeated. - Maybe we should go back, she sighed. - Remember why you started, Ruby, Oliver said gently. Ruby thought about the sad ghost and her promise. She knew she couldn't give up now.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light caught Ruby's eye. - Look, Oliver! she exclaimed. They followed the light and found the lantern hanging from a tree branch. Ruby reached up and grabbed it. The lantern's glow grew brighter, lighting up the forest.

With the lantern in hand, Ruby and Oliver made their way back to the ghost. - You did it! the ghost cheered. Ruby handed the lantern to the ghost, and the mist around them began to clear. The ghost and its friends were finally free. Ruby felt proud and knew that courage had guided her through.
