- (continued from previous page)"ghost" was in the garden at that time, and she grouls at the children. They go again and the "ghost" follows them, so the "mother" goes to the garden. She asks the "ghost" what business has he there. He answers "Pins and needles". Then she says "What are they for. He says "to sew sacks". She says "what are the sacks for. The "Ghost" says "to draw gravel". The mother says "what is the gravel for. He answers "to sharpen knives and forks". She says "what are the knives and forks for". Then the "Ghost" says "to kill you".
So he follows her and her "children" till he catches them.
So ends the game after a lot of fun.
