On Saturday afternoon, Glen Google was watching TV. Suddenly the set make a funny fizzing noise and the screen went black. Glen’s dad called out Mr Sparks, the tv repairman. “ you’ve worn out, lad,” said Mr Sparks. “ it wasn’t my fault!” Said Glen. Mr Sparks put the television in his friend and return with a battered-looking replacement. Glen had never seen such an ancient TV set. “ it’s better than nothing,” said Mr Google. Glen’s parents had no problems watching the tv. But the first time that Glen tuned in, something odd happened. A man in strange clothes appeared on the screen and burst into song. “This isn’t Cartoon Club,” muttered Glen. “ welcome, One and all, to the world of Harry hall!” Sang the man on the TV. Harry was a terrible singer. But he was so funny. Glen didn’t mind missing the cartoons. The next time Glen switched on, Harry appeared again. This time he was dressed as a magician. The show was even funnier than the last. Every trick Henry did went wrong. Oh dear! Oops! Oh no. The useless magician made Glen laugh so much, he had to turn off the tv to stop his sides from aching. Next day, Harry tried to dance and kept tripping over his own feet. Although Harry was funny, Glen was starting to miss the cartoons. Glen was about to switch channels, when Harry fell forward - right through the TV screen. Then he grew to full-size before Glen’s astonished eyes. “ sorry,” panted Harry. “ I should have taken more dance lessons when I was alive.” Glen gulped. “ you mean you’re a g..g...g” Ghost? That’s right! “ I always wanted to be on television.” Said Harry, “ so when I became a ghost, I decided to haunt this set.” “ you are very funny,” said Glen. “ I didn’t mean to be,” Harry replied. “ I can’t easy in the spirit world until I’m a star,” he sighed. Glen felt sorry for Harry. He offered to let him stay if he stop haunting the tv. Harry spend the next few days moping in Glen’s room. Then one afternoon, Glen showed him a ticket. “ look where we’re going,” he said with a grin. Come and watch talent time the top TV talent contest being recorded Saturday, October 4 at 3 pm at XYZ Tv studios big cash price for the top act! Harry was full of excitement. He’d never seen a TV show been made before. Glen wasn’t sure is spooks were allowed in TV studios. Harry shrank himself down so Glen could smuggle him inside. Wait here for talent time Studio 4. Glen was relieved when he reached his seat in the audience. Harry peeked out as the lights dimmed and the show began. There were singers, dancers and comedians. Glen thought they were great, but harry did nothing but grumble. “ I could do better than that!” He complained. “Shh!” Said Glen, who was getting some funny looks from the woman beside them. Glen didn’t notice the ghost float away. So he got a shock when the full-size haven’t suddenly appeared on stage. Harry pushed the other contestants aside and went into his act. He sang terrible songs... he messed up his magic tricks... and he finished his clumsy dance routine. The audience roared with laughter. Harry won the first prize as the star of the show. He called Glen on stage to say thank you. With a big grin on his face, Harry faded away. Glen grinned too. Harry had given him the prize money to buy a brand-new TV.
