    out to a friend to seek shelter for the night. On his way he had to cross a graveyard he saw a ghost, through fear he ran away and he was a great runner, so he ran and ran until he fell then the spirit came up to him and asked him what was wrong with him. The poor man said that he was evicted by the landlord and he was going to his friends. “Come with me” said the spirit, “and I will set you free.” The man went with him until they reached the landlord's house the ghost made the landlord give a free receipt to the man and he went back to his house.
