00:00Mator and the Ghost Light
00:29Illustrated by Bud Luckey and Dominique Lewis.
00:32Story adapted by Andrea Posner-Sanchez.
00:38Mator liked to play pranks on his friends.
00:42Hurrah!
00:47Scary pranks were his favorite.
00:50Hi-ya!
00:56Oh, buddy, Mator said to McQueen with a chuckle, you just look like you've seen the ghost light.
01:03What's that?
01:04McQueen asked.
01:10Sheriff came forward and told the story of the mysterious blue light that haunted Radiator
01:16Springs.
01:18It all started on a night like tonight.
01:22A young couple were headed down this very stretch of the mother road when they spotted
01:27an unnatural blue glow, and before long, all that was left were two out-of-state license
01:34plates.
01:35Don't be too scared, buddy, it ain't real, Mator whispered to McQueen.
01:42It is real, shouted Sheriff, and the one thing that angers the ghost light more than anything
01:50else is the sound of clanking metal, rattle, rattle, clank, clank.
02:01When Sheriff finished his story, the townsfolk said goodnight and quickly drove home.
02:07Mator was left all alone, in the dark, gulp.
02:15The scared tow truck drove to his shack in the junkyard.
02:19Mator thought he saw a monster in the shadows, but it was just a gnarled tree.
02:25He was trembling and shaking so much that his one good headlight fell off and broke.
02:31Pop, rattle, clang.
02:37Mator gasped as he saw a small glowing light heading towards him.
02:43Oh, no, it's the ghost light.
02:50The light flew right up to Mator's face.
02:54He opened one eye to peek at it.
02:56Oh, it's just a lightning bug, he said with a nervous laugh, and anyhow, Sheriff said
03:04the ghost light is blue.
03:09Eeyah!
03:14The ghost light's right behind me, Mator screamed.
03:31Now it's in front of me!
03:33He gasped.
03:38Mator raced through the tractor field.
03:45He sped past Willie's butte, but he couldn't get away from the ghost light.
03:51The ghost light's gonna eat me, he cried.
03:59A very tired Mator finally came to a stop and saw that the ghost light was just a lantern
04:05hanging from his tow cable.
04:08Hey, wait a minute.
04:12Gotcha, McQueen said with a smile.
04:17Shoot, said Mator.
04:19I knowed this was a joke the whole time.
04:26You see, son, the only thing to be scared of out here is your own imagination, Sheriff
04:32told him.
04:33Yep, that and, of course, the screaming banshee, added Doc.
04:42The screaming what?
04:50I hope you enjoyed that story.
