Cowboy Matteo lives in Game World. Matteo wears a big brown hat. He rides a small toy horse. He has a red bandana. He feels brave. Ghost floats near Matteo. Ghost is soft and kind. Ghost likes to giggle. Ghost is white and warm. Matteo and Ghost are best friends.
One day Matteo looks for his hat. He checks the stable. He checks the barn. He checks the sand. The hat is not there. Matteo feels sad. He looks around. Ghost sees Matteo cry. Ghost says, Matteo, friend, why do you cry? Matteo says, My hat is lost. Ghost says, Let us find it. Matteo nods. They hold hands. They start to search.
They walk across yellow sand. They feel the soft wind. They see tall cacti. They see pink flowers. Matteo says, I wish I had my hat. Ghost sighs. They walk on. They climb a small hill. They see red rocks. They see green grass. Ghost sniffs a flower. Ghost sneezes. Ah-choo! Matteo laughs. They look under a big rock. They see a blue stone. It is not the hat. Matteo shakes his head. They climb down.
They find a small cave. It is dark. Ghost glows to light. They step inside. They hear water drip. They see sparkling dust. They scoop a handful. They carry the dust. Matteo says, This is nice, but not my hat. Ghost nods. They leave the cave.
They arrive at a blue pond. The water is still. Matteo sees fish. Ghost dips a toe. Splash! Ghost laughs. Matteo dips his boot. Splash! They see a shiny leaf. It floats on the water. They reach for it. Matteo gets the leaf. He says, Not my hat. Ghost nods. They splash and play. Then they leave.
They walk into a small forest. The trees are tall. The leaves are soft. Matteo hears birds. Ghost waves at a bird. The bird sings. Matteo smiles. They look under a branch. They look under logs. They look in a tree hollow. No hat. Matteo shrugs. Ghost floats up. Ghost whispers, Let us try the castle.
They walk to a stone wall. They see Rebel Leader. He wears a black vest and a red scarf. He has a big mustache. He holds a hat. Matteo gasps. Ghost points. Matteo says, That is my hat. Rebel Leader says, Perhaps. You must help me first. Matteo asks, Help with what? Rebel Leader holds a broken toy horse. He says, Fix this toy horse. Matteo says, We will help. Matteo and Ghost work with care. They use tape and leaf glue. Ghost glows and sticks the parts. The toy horse stands tall. It is whole again. Rebel Leader claps. He smiles. He says, You are kind friends. Here is your hat. He hands the brown hat to Matteo.
Matteo feels joy. He puts on his hat. Ghost claps. They wave at Rebel Leader. Rebel Leader waves back. They leave the castle with smiles.
On the path home they find a small wooden box. Matteo opens it. Inside is a shiny golden badge. It is round and bright. Matteo gasps. Ghost glows bright. Matteo gives the badge to Ghost. Ghost holds the badge. Ghost feels proud. Matteo says, You are my brave friend. They laugh and hug.
They hold the badge high. They see a rainbow in the sky. Matteo says, Look at the colors. Ghost nods. They dance under the rainbow. They hop on green grass. They smell the flowers. They hear a gentle breeze. They laugh.
They follow a path of small stones. They pass by a tiny wooden house. They peek inside. They see a teddy bear and a toy drum. They say hello. They wave. The teddy bear sleeps. They tiptoe away. They continue.
They ride the toy horse home. They sing a happy song. They sing, We found the hat. We fixed a toy. We made a friend. We found a badge. We are happy now. Ghost hums. They dance on the soft grass.
The sun sets in Game World. The sky turns pink and orange. Matteo and Ghost sit under a tall cactus. They rest. Matteo holds his hat. Ghost holds the badge. They feel safe. They feel loved. They had an adventure. They helped a friend. They found joy and teamwork.
Matteo says, Good night, Ghost. Ghost says, Good night, Cowboy. They close their eyes. The stars twinkle above. Matteo yawns. Ghost yawns. Matteo and Ghost snore softly. They dream of new games. They dream of next adventure. They dream of new friends. They feel safe. They feel happy together. They feel happy together. They feel happy together. They feel happy together.
The end.
