- Once there was a man coming home from a dance. He met a ghost. The ghost asked him where he had been and he said he was at the dance. It was about two ô clock at night and he was in a hurry home. But the ghost would not let him go until he told him he would not be so late again. As soon as the man crossed a stream, he defied the ghost to cross the stream after him.
