Completed Story:
Last week, my friend
HELLO came to visit. “
HELLO,” she said when she arrived. “Let’s go up the
BOWL to see the
WOLF.” We headed up the
HELLO path until we were tired. “Let’s
LEO down for a minute,” I said with a
H. Just then, I heard a
H coming from behind a
L. I looked down. Near the
SWOL of my
H was a big, scary
E! I turned and ran as fast as my
H could go. Then I heard a
H. “
BO!” laughed
HELLO. “That’s no
E. It’s just an old black
H!”

Final Answer:
The completed story is filled with the words derived from the math problems. The final boxed answer is:
\boxed{HELLO, H, BOWL, WOLF, HELLO, H, LEO, H, H, L, SWOL, H, E, H, BO, HELLO, E, H}
