Colin felt a shiver, but his curiosity made him wrestle with his fear.

He stepped into the castle and heard an echo that made him jump.

Colin saw a gnome statue in a corner, covered in moss and cobwebs.

He continued to explore and found a chute that led to the basement.

Down the chute, Colin saw a ghoul portrait that gave him a fright.

In the portrait room, he heard a rustle coming from a thistle bush.

Colin approached the bush and saw a gnat flying around a hidden door.

He opened the door and found a room full of glistening treasure.

Colin decided to fasten his bag and fill it with some gold.

As he left, he heard a whistle. It was a friendly ghost guiding him out.

Back home, Colin shared his adventure with his friends, promising to bustle back one day.
