- A Funny StoryOne night two were passing a churchyard and they heard something groaning inside.Just inside the gate there was freshly made grave and someone was to be buried in it next day.They went into the grave yard and in the bottom of the grave they saw a ghostly white figure and it was groaning.After a time it said in a queer voice. I'm cold in my grave to-night.The men were frightened first as they thought it was the ghost of the person to be buried.But they knew the voice it was someone there to frighten them.One of the men said "If you are cold in your grave would this warm you"and he began throwing clay on him.The ghost was not long cleaning away.
