   (Ghost in the) garden. The Ghost comes in and says to the mother
   "I want a needle."
   "What do you want a needle for"
   "To sew a bag."
   "And what do you want the bag for"
   "To fill it with turf."
   What do you want the turf for"
   "To make a fire."
   "What do you want the fire for"
   "To boil a pot."
   "What do you want the water for"
   "To scald you and all your children."
   When the children hear this they run around the yard crying and shouting.
