The Little Vampire and His Tomato Juice: A Friendly Spooky Story for Kids

Deep in the forest, in a small old castle, lived a little vampire boy named Max. He looked almost like an ordinary boy, but with pale skin, long fangs, and a great love for his favorite red drink… only it wasn’t a scary drink, but tomato juice!

Max loved tomato juice more than anything. His vampire parents, who preferred more traditional drinks, supported their son and always bought him boxes of juice. Every evening, Max would happily drink his juice, imagining himself as a real, but very friendly, vampire.

One evening, Max heard children from the nearby village playing outside the castle gates. They were telling each other spooky stories and joking about vampires, not knowing that a real vampire lived right there! Max wanted to make friends with them, but he worried that his fangs might scare the children.

But one day, curiosity won. Max gathered his courage and quietly approached the children. At first, they were scared when they saw his long fangs and pale face, but Max quickly smiled and introduced himself politely:

— Hi, I’m Max, and I’m a vampire, but a very friendly one! Instead of blood, I drink tomato juice.

The children laughed; this wasn’t scary at all, but actually funny. They invited Max to play with them and shared their stories, while Max told them all about his love for tomato juice.

From then on, Max would come to the children every evening. They played hide-and-seek, and Max always won because he could silently hide in the shadows. But the children were curious about one thing: they asked Max to show them his “real vampire powers.” So, Max made a “vampire potion” out of a pumpkin, mixing in tomato juice and a few berries. All the children tried it and decided they were now “vampires” too!

One night, the children came to the castle again, and Max was waiting for them. He had prepared a surprise – glowing pumpkin lanterns to hold a “vampire night” with the children. Max explained that every real vampire had to be brave and always help their friends. The children listened with excitement as Max told them about his life in the castle and showed them the old rooms.

But the most magical night for Max and his friends was during the full moon. Max and the children decided to climb the castle tower to watch the moon. There, they saw an owl trapped in some old cobwebs, unable to free itself. Max quickly helped the owl get free, showing the children that a real vampire must always be kind and brave.

From that night on, Max became a true hero to the village children. Every evening, they came to his castle to hear new stories, play, and, of course, share his favorite tomato juice.

And whenever adults asked the children if they were afraid of the castle, the children would smile and say:

— No, our friend Max lives there – the kindest vampire in the world!
