The Haunted Dutch Hotel
The Dutch Hotel near London's Hyde Park is famous for its mischievous ghosts. While most ghosts are well-behaved, there are occasional incidents of pranks and mistakes that frustrate the hotel staff. Zelda, the owner, becomes increasingly concerned about negative reviews and insists that Alan, the manager, deal with the ghosts. Alan's children, Nafsi and Yogi, suggest seeking help from Father Costas, who knows about the hotel's ghosts. Father Costas shares the story of Rudolf, a German waiter who was heartbroken and died mysteriously. The hotel staff believes Rudolf's ghost is responsible for the pranks.
Prayers and Candle Lighting
Angelicky, Alan's wife, faithfully visits the church every morning to light candles and pray for Rudolf's forgiveness. The pranks gradually decrease during this period. However, a valuable ring goes missing from a guest's room, and a famous folk singer claims to have seen a white squirrel stealing it. Angelicky decides to call Father Costas for help again. He suggests a meeting with the squirrel at Kensington Gardens. Father Costas holds out a plastic ring and asks the squirrel to return the stolen ring. Surprisingly, the squirrel returns with the stolen ring, and the hotel is relieved.
Peaceful Resolution
The return of the stolen ring brings peace to the hotel. The folk singer is delighted to have his ring back and promises to write a song about the incident. The ghostly pranks of Rudolf become less frequent, and the hotel's reputation improves. Alan's position as manager is secure, and Zelda is pleased with the positive reviews. The story ends with the message that miracles can happen and that peace can be found even with mischievous spirits.
