CASPER'S PARTY MUDDLE

One day, Casper the ghost decided to have a party. So he went to the library to get a book about planning parties. He found one and started to read it .It said that he should set the table with china. Now, Casper did not know what china was. He thought that he was supposed to get something from China, the country in Asia.

So, Casper went to the travel agency, in which the people were so puzzled that they gave him brochures about different trips to China. Casper went back home with the brochures, and read the rest of the book. It said that you should write the invitations with Indian ink. He thought he had to go all the way to India for it.

Then he remembered that his Aunt Amelia lived in India, and called her and asked if she could send him some ink. His aunt thought that he was playing a joke on her. So, just to humor him, she sent him the ink. He thought that she had done as he asked her to, so he called her and thanked her. Thinking it was a joke, his aunt did not ask him any questions. He wrote and posted the invitations.

Next, the book said to give each guest a small pad and pencil as a return gift. Casper thought that he had to give each guest a knee-pad and pencil. So he went to the sport shop and bought all the knee pads he could find, and he found a set of his pencils which he had not used. He wrapped all of them neatly and kept them aside.Then he went to change and the party started. Wizard Hoho Started laughing when he saw the brochures to china on the table. He asked Casper where he had got them from.

"The book said so" Casper said, puzzled.

"Is that so? Bring the book to me", said Wizard Hoho.

They all laughed away and told the puzzled Casper why they were laughing. When they opened their presents, there was even more laughter. Casper wondered what he had done wrong now and they explained it to him.

All the guests told their friends this funny story, recalling the time they had been laughing away and the look on Casper's face. One of the guests told me this tale.

I hope you enjoyed it too!
