   Once upon a tine two old men lived together in a very large house in a lonely district. After a time one of them died and was buried in the nearest graveyard. The other man felt very lonely but still he lived on. A year later a strange figure was seen at this house; it was the ghost of the man who had died. He came back to the house to tell his troubles to the other man. They chatted away gaily the same as in life only they were different in appearance. The ghost's body was transparent so the old man could see through it. Both of them were the same after a fortnight because they were dead.
