The Halloween Skeleton based
on a New Mexico ghost story
Listen to this story
on
One Halloween
night, a boy got lost and had to spend the night in an empty old house. He fell
asleep, but soon woke up when he heard a thump on the roof and a voice calling
out, "I'm falling down!"
The boy ran out
of the way just as an arm bone came crashing to the floor. Then another arm
landed - then a leg, a skull, and a second leg. Before he could count to ten, a
complete skeleton was standing there.
The boy did not
want to show his fear. The skeleton was impressed with the boy's spirit and
said, "You have courage. Are you brave enough to wrestle me?"
The boy was
very afraid, but he dared not refuse this strange ghost. He remembered a trick
his brother taught him. He twisted suddenly and threw the skeleton onto the
ground.
"You
win!" said the skeleton. "Your courage deserves a reward. Open that
door in the floor and promise me that you will share the reward that you will
find."
The boy agreed
to do what the skeleton asked. He opened the door and saw a room filled with
gold coins and jewels.
The skeleton
laughed, said "Happy Halloween," and then began to disappear, piece
by piece, until he was gone.
The boy did as
he promised, and his family and many others in his village lived in comfort all
of their days.

Cycling for a Cause!
Craig has
always loved sports, adventure and the outdoors. He has loved cycling all his
life. When he was a kid, he got interested in sports like surfing and sailing
but later he became interested in traveling the world in his bicycle. After he
finished his university studies, he realized that he wanted to join a cause to
help improve the living conditions of millions of people who live in extreme
poverty. But how can a man with a bicycle help people? In time Craig discovered
that there are many ways to help. Craig began to look for partners and sponsors
for this project. He joined a campaign “The Solar System Aid” which made it
possible for Craig to begin pedaling through Africa with the noble intention of
collecting funds and raising awareness about the benefits of installing and
using solar panels in schools, clinics and community centers. These solar
panels can power their medical equipment, irrigation systems as well as their
cell phones, radios and lamps, and impact greatly the lives of thousands of
Africans who live in remote places and do not have electricity. For 3 months,
he has cycled through Africa and has visited and gone through 5 countries and
nearly 3000 kilometers. He will cycle another 2000 kilometers because he firmly
believes that this is a great way to make a difference in the world and do what
he enjoys doing the most: cycling and caring about others!
