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

He stepped into the castle. There was an echo that made him jump.

Colin saw a gnome carving 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 painting of a ghoul that gave him a fright.

In the room with the painting of the ghoul, there was a rustle that came from a bush outside.

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

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

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

As he left, there was a whistle. It was a kind ghost guiding him out.

Back home, Colin shared his trek with his friends, promising to bustle back to the castle one day.
