    There was a man who was going home one night and he saw a white man and he was scared. He ran home as fast as he could. On his way he met a man and he asked him what would it be. The man said it was a ghost. He said "Here it is coming to eat you". Then the other man asked what he would do. The other man said "Catch it and kill it".
