1
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>There was once a ghost named Gary who lived in

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the dusty attic of an old library. He had the

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 1>usual ghost features, pale white glow, a sea through body,

4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and a habit of floating around like a balloon that

5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 1>had lost its sting. But Gary had a problem, a

6
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>big one. Every time he tried to boo, he sneezed. Booh, booh,

7
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>booh hooe. Books flew off the shelves, cobwebs rained from

8
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling. The poor ghost sneeze was louder than any

9
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 1>boo could ever be. Now, as you probably know, booing

10
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>is the most important ghost skill of all. It's like

11
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>learning to tie your shoes or knowing how to whistle.

12
00:00:53.079 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>But whenever Gary tried, his nose tickled booh choe ooh.

13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>He sneezed, blowing the dust up an entire shelf of encyclopedias.

14
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Oooh uh shoe, and suddenly every light bulb in the

15
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>attic shook. The other ghosts teased him. H nice sneeze,

16
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Gary laughed, Mildred the mummy, you need to put that

17
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>sneeze under wraps. Hah, you don't scare people, you dust.

18
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>The furniture snickered. Bob the bat even the skeleton giggled

19
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so hard his jaw clattered onto the floor. Gary's face

20
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>turned pale, well paler than usual. He wanted to boo

21
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>like a proper ghost. He wanted people to shriek, not

22
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>hand him tissues. One foggy October evening, the ghosts gathered

23
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in the graveyard for their annual meeting.

24
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Attention Spirits Inspectors.

25
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>Announced the head ghost, Sir Spukanton, Halloween is next month,

26
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and we must be ready to boo every street, every house,

27
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 1>every candy ball. The crowd of ghosts cheered. Boo, they cried, Boooooooooooo,

28
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 1>they shouted. Then it was Gary's turn. He floated up nervously,

29
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>puffed out his chest, and opened his mouth. Boo, uh

30
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>i shoo. The sneeze was so strong it blew Sir

31
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Spokington's hat right off his head and sent a skeleton

32
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>rolling like a bowling ball. The crowd burst out laughing.

33
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Sir Spokington shook his head.

34
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Gary, you are allergic to booing. How can you haunt

35
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>on Halloween? Gary sniffled, what, I don't know, Sup, I

36
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>really really want to try.

37
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Just then, Jesse, the adventurous kid who lived at the

38
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>end of the block, who always seemed to wander into

39
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>monster meetings, popped up from behind a gravestone. Hey, maybe

40
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have to boo, Jesse suggested, Maybe he can

41
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 1>scare people in his own way. The ghosts blinked, What

42
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>do you mean? Jesse grinned. What if Gary sneezes instead

43
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>of booze? A mega ghost sneeze could shake doors, rattle windows,

44
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 1>and blow candy corn across the street. Now that's pretty scary.

45
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Gary's eyes lit up. You mean I can at you

46
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>instead of boo exactly? Jesse nodded. For the next few days,

47
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Jesse trained Gary. They put fake spiderwebs on the library doors. Okay, sneeze,

48
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>Jesse said, uh uh uh shoe. Gary blasted the webs

49
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 1>across the street. They lined up pumpkins on a fence,

50
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Ready sneeze. Gary sneeze so hard the pumpkins rolled down

51
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the hill like bowling balls. Finally, Jesse placed a bowl

52
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of candy corn on the librarian's desk. Final tast sneeze Gary.

53
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 1>He sneezed, and the candy flew up in the air

54
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>like confetti. The ghosts watching were amazed. Hm, maybe booing

55
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't the only way to hunt, whispered Mildred the Mummy.

56
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 1>He sneezed, Chacula, said Bob the bat. The skeleton didn't

57
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>say anything. He still couldn't find his jawbone. At last,

58
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Halloween arrived. The town was full of costumes, witches, superheroes, werewolves,

59
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>and one kid dressed as a hot dog. Don't ask.

60
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>The ghosts spread out to scare. Booooo shouted one, boo

61
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>shouted another, and then came Gary. He floated above a

62
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>group of trick or treatahs and took a deep breath.

63
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Boo hh.

64
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Choe.

65
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>The kid shrieked as the sneeze sent their candy bags

66
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 1>flipping upside down, showering the sidewalk with chocolate bars. Then

67
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 1>they laughed and scrambled to pick it up. That was awesome.

68
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>One kid shouted, do it again, Another begged. Gary sneezed again,

69
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 1>and the leaves swirled into a giant tornado of orange

70
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and gold. Soon the whole town was talking about the atche.

71
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Ghost kids chased him from street to street, begging for

72
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>another sneeze. Instead of being scared, they were delighted. By midnight,

73
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Gary was exhausted. His nose glowed red. And he was

74
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>out of ghostly tissues, but he had never felt prouder.

75
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>The head ghost floated down beside him, Gary, I was wrong.

76
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Booing may be the old way, but sneezing is your way,

77
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and tonight you were the star of Halloween. Gary sniffed happily.

78
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh thank you, sir.

79
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm not a boo ghost.

80
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm an at you ghost. From that Halloween on, Gary

81
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>became a legend. Kids left tissues in their porches instead

82
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of candy just to invite him over. Ghosts no longer

83
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>teased him. They asked him to sneeze at their party

84
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>to get the cobwebs flying. And every October, when the

85
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 1>pumpkins were glowing and the leaves were tumbling, you could

86
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 1>hear a mighty sound echoing through the night shoe, followed

87
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>by laughter, candy, and the sound of a very proud ghost.

88
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you don't have to worry about the things you

89
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>haven't got. You have to celebrate the things you do

90
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the and
