    supper he said he would be going to bed. As he was opening the door he heard a strange noise. He opened the door and saw a man, wearing a white coat and a big white cap, sitting by the fire. He was playing on a fiddle. After a while everything that was in the room started dancing. After a while the ghost saw the man at the door. He threw his fiddle on the table and vanished up the chimney. Then everything that was in the room went back to its proper place.
