    When they were half an hour playing they had all their money lost. When they were going home he asked them to come the next night and they promised to do so. When they were gone a few yards they disappeared but the man who was running towards the wood.
    When they went home they told their story to their neighbours who said that wood was haunted for a long time.
    The two boys said that they would never go out card playing again.
