This 9-year-old boy told us in the class that ghosts are real. 

So, Teacher asked, “Have you seen one?” 

“Nope, but I know there is one living inside of me. Whenever I feel scared, I know it is the ghost who scares me.”

“Tell me more,” Teacher said.

“The ghost is there when I need to speak in front of the class. It tells my friend not to take lunch with me. It tells me not to join a competition and not to sing my favourite song. So,I know ghosts are real.”

Ghosts symbolise the feeling of fear for this boy. He couldn't see it and yet he was trapped by it. He was scared to do the right thing because the Ghost was there. We can deeply relate to this “Ghost” of his because we too have one living inside of us. We are haunted and fearful from doing the right things. “Ghosts” are real...
