Luna was a special little girl. She lived among the ghosts and she herself was a cute little ghost. Her red hair was always completely disheveled, her cheeks were dirty and her clothes seemed to be sewn together from all sorts of brightly colored pieces of clothing.

Although she went to school with the other ghosts, she was still longing for the world of ordinary kids who weren’t ghosts.

When the sun rises in the morning and illuminates the whole earth, something strange appears in the sky. A little cloud floats in the sky, fluffy like a cloud and looking like cotton candy.

Far outside our village there was a race track. Every year there were car races there. The best race cars anyone had ever seen went there. Their speed was unbelievable. A lot of people came to watch them every time. Everybody watching and cheering in their seats for their favourites. Near the racetrack there were non-racing cars. There was a smaller fire truck and an ambulance parked there. But the fire truck was too unhappy.

When spring began, various animals started to wake up from their winter sleep. One of them was the big bear Bubsy. All winter long he had been sleeping in his hidden den.

Behind the forest on a big frozen pond, a big event took place in winter. An important hockey game. Two interesting teams played against each other. On one side there were the foxes and on the other the bears. They were all training hard. They were learning to pass, skate fast and turn. When the big day came for the game, all the animals of the forest sat around the pond. Some had big signs that said “Foxes go”. Others wore bear T-shirts. Everyone was cheering for someone else.

Every morning a van drove through our town. It was always nice and clean, washed and followed the traffic rules. It didn’t make any noise. It drove quietly and orderly. It delivered goodies around town. Early in the morning, the van would go far out of town, where nobody knew it. It’d load up on fruit and vegetables and then go back to our town. Here, it would take the food to the different stalls where people went to shop. The van was driven by one driver… But he wasn’t just any driver.
