Once upon a time, in a spooky old mansion, there lived a ghost named Casper. Casper was a very shy ghost who lived all alone in the mansion. He was often misunderstood by the living people who came to explore the mansion.

One day, a group of treasure hunters came to the mansion in search of a hidden treasure. They were very greedy and didn't care about anyone or anything else. Casper was scared at first, but then he saw that they were trying to take the treasure that he had been protecting for many years.

Casper knew that he had to do something to stop the treasure hunters. He didn't want them to take the treasure and leave the mansion in ruins. So, he decided to be brave and confront them.

The treasure hunters were surprised to see a ghost talking to them. They were even more surprised when Casper told them that the treasure was not for them to take. He explained that the treasure belonged to the previous owner of the mansion and it was his duty to protect it.

At first, the treasure hunters didn't believe Casper. They thought he was just trying to scare them away. But as they talked more, they realized that Casper was telling the truth. They also saw that Casper was a kind and friendly ghost, not the scary and mean ghost they thought he was.

The treasure hunters apologized to Casper for their greediness and promised to never take something that didn't belong to them again. Casper forgave them and even showed them around the mansion, telling them stories about the previous owner and the treasure.

From that day on, the treasure hunters became friends with Casper. They would often come back to visit him and the mansion, but they never tried to take the treasure again. Casper was no longer a lonely ghost, he now had friends who appreciated him for who he was.

And so, the treasure remained safe in the mansion, guarded by Casper, the ghostly guardian. And the lesson that the treasure hunters learned that day was that true friendship and kindness are more valuable than any treasure in the world. The end.
