SCOOBY: A Rhoul?!

DAPHNE: Yes, Scooby. There is a ghoul in this place -- haunting around, floating around, scaring people...

SHAGGY: ... goofing around. That was a good one, wasn't it?

VELMA: So, let's go out!

So Scooby-Doo and the gang went to this spooky old mansion.

FRED: Where is our old friend the principal, Mr. Whajimaname?

MR. WHAJIMANAME: He's not here today. We have a substitute?

VELMA (shaking with fear): Wh-Who is it?

MR. WHAJIMANAME: Here he is... Mr. Scareyououtofyourpants.

SHAGGY: Zoinks! It's the mysterious glowing ghoul the newspaper was talking about!

VELMA: Jinkies!

THE GHOUL: Get them!!! Tie them all up!!

So Scooby and the gang got all tied up. But Fred got a stick and some chewing gum and reached for a knife.
Fred cut off everyone's ropes and they were free.

DAPHNE: Let's get a bucket of water. Then we can pour the water on the ghoul's face and find out who he really is.

SCOOBY: Rokay! Rhere ris the rhoul!!!

SCOOBY: Reat! Row ree ran ree rho rit really ris!

So, they pulled the mask off, and it really was...

FRED: It's our old friend, the Principal! Why did you do this?

THE PRINCIPAL: Because no one ever saw the treasure chest in my office. Only grownups could see it. And when you were kids in my school, you thought it was just a toy treasure chest. You meddling kids!!!
