    “A very long time ago there lived a boy alone in a house.”

    Share Share Post
    A very long time ago there lived a boy alone in a house. One night he went visiting to one of the neighbour's houses. On his way [?] he had to pass by a wood. As he was passing he saw a woman dressed in white.
    She spoke to him but he didn't answer her. The boy went on for a while. Then the Ghost followed him and she caught him. If you let me I will give you something, the next time I will see you." The Ghost asked him to pray for her and then she let hm go.
