The ”Tell Me a Story” Book

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK IS TO HELP PARENTS, CAMP COUNSELORS, TEACHERS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A STORY HANDY WHEN YOUNG ADULTS AND ESPECIALLY KIDS SAY "TELL ME A STORY." I'VE PICKED A VARIETY OF STORIES FOR YOU. THERE ARE SOME SCARY ONES THAT MAY KEEP YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT LIKE 'THE HAUNTED CASTLE, ' THE BOYS CAMP MURDERS' AND TERROR IN THE WILDERNESS.' THE STORY OF 'A FAMILY OUTING' ABOUT THREE YOUNG BOYS WHO GOT LOST AND KIDNAPPED ON A MOUNTAIN IN COLORADO AND YOU'LL LIKE THE STORY OF A LOVEABLE COCKER SPANIEL IN 'MY FRIEND THE DOG' FOLLOWED BY A QUOTE FROM GUIDEPOSTS BOOKS. SEVEN OTHER EXCITING STORIES INCLUDE; ONE MAN WHO TAKES THE IDENTITY OF HIS DEAD HITCHHIKER IN 'LIFE AFTER DEATH'; ABOUT A MAN WHO GOT TOO CURIOUS FOR HIS OWN GOOD IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY'; THEN TWO TOURISTS IN ITALY WHO FIND HORROR AND TERROR IN THE TOMBS OF THE DEAD IN THE 'CATACOMBS OF ROME' (WITH PICTURES); A CRAZY OLD LADY THAT KEEPS 'CAT EYES', HER KILLER PANTHER, IN A MANSION SURROUNDED BY A SWAMP IN THE STORY 'CAT EYES'; FOUR BOYS FIND TERROR AND DEATH IN A 3-STORY MANSION IN 'HEED MY WARNING', A PUMPKIN PROTEST IN THE MYSTERY OF THE PUMPKIN PATCH' AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THE MAN THAT WOULDN'T DIE' WHO WENT FROM GOOD TO MURDER. THESE STORIES WILL KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED UNTIL BOOK II COMES OUT. NOTE: USE FEELING AND SUSPENSE WHEN READING OR TELLING EACH STORY. YOU'LL KNOW IF YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT BY THE AUDIENCE'S REACTION. GOOD LUCK PICK OUT THE STORIES APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL. I HOPE YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU READ. CHAPTER ONE "THE HAUNTED CASTLE" WAS FIRST TOLD AT YMCA CAMP WILSON IN OHIO WHEN I WAS A COUNSELOR THERE. I RETURNED AS CAMP DIRECTOR 14 YEARS LATER, AND HEARD A COUNSELOR TELLING THE STORY WORD FOR WORD TO THE BOYS IN HIS CABIN.
