  1. Ghosts

    Share Share Post
    One time there was a ghost in the glen. He made his home in the glen. There was a field of turnips beside the place he was staying. He used to eat the turnips. Soon he had nearly all the turnips eaten. One day the man that owned the field of turnips put poison on a turnip. The next morning the ghost had the turnip away. The next morning he got a dead badger lying in the turnip field. The people had thought the badger was a ghost. Some people believe in a ghost but others do not. I do not believe in ghosts.
