  1. (continued from previous page)
    the ghost and the others are the children. The mother sends the children to the shop when when they go to the garden they see the ghost, and they run and tell their mother. The mother goes back to the garden with them. She asks the ghost what he wants and he says he wants needles for what the mother will say then to sow bags the ghost will say. What do you want the bags for? for to carry sand. What do you want the sand for? for to sharpen knives. What do you want the knives for? for to cut your throats. Then the ghost runs after them all and cuts their throats.
