“One dark night a certain man was returning from a neighbour's house.”
One dark night a certain man was returning from a neighbour's house. On his way home he had to pass beside a graveyard. When he was drawing near the graveyard he commenced to think of all the ghost stories he had heard. He was getting afraid and began perspiring. When he was passing the graveyard wall he saw a white object. He almost jumped out of his skin and ran back the way he came with the hair standing on his head. After a short time he stopped running and plucked up a bit of courage. He decided to go back and see what it was. On coming back to the wall the white object was still there. He went up to it and what was it but a white goat.
