The Ghoul of the School of Fools is a ghostly tale about friendship told in verse.
The fools’ graveyard contains a well,
A murky stagnant pool.
This gloomy place in which to dwell
Is where there lurks a ghoul.
The ghoul is shocked to find one night
A boy who sits alone
And watches stars with great delight,
His back against a stone.
The ghoul decides to join the boy,
In spite of feeling shy.
A bond is formed that brings them joy
Through staring at the sky.
But if their friendship is to last,
The ghoul must face his haunted past.
