“Once upon a time a man and his wife were living in a haunted house.”
27571Once upon a time a man and his wife were living in a haunted house. If they weren't in a bed every night at 10 oclock strange noises used to take place. One very wet night the man was visited his cousin's house so he delayed till it got fine. By the time he reached home it was gone past ten his coat was damp. He hung it on a chair beside the fire to dry. When he was about to enter the room to go to bed his coat was placed on his shoulders. Nobody was present in the house only his wife and she was in bed. So he learned a lesson to be in every night before this hour.
