It Was Yesterday , I am Stem Stone, and I Live in a Big House With My

For My Knowledge , The House is Haunted and I Believe The Best Thing To
Do In Fear is To Face It. My Servent Parky Pluck is Preparing The Dinner , My
Friend Natin Noar is Also Getting Ready , For The Dinner.
The Time is Midnight and Since The Morning I and Natin Only Had a Few
Biscuits and Corn Flakes.
The Dinner is Ready and I and Natin Were Sitting in The Dining Room.
Suddenly I Saw Another Man Sitting On The Third Chair.
He Says , How Are You Both Doing ? ( The Laughing Ghost )
How Come Are You Here , The Laughing Ghost ? , I asked
Mr. Stem Stone , In The Past , I Was Suffering From Fever , So I Thought
Some Dinner Will Sweep Away My Fever.

Yes Let’s Have It , said The Laughing Ghost
I Think You Need To Have Some Skin Over Your Bones , said Natin Noar

Oh ! My God You Are Right , says The Laughing Ghost in Astonishment.
In The Past Also , People Used To Say That , But All That’s Because Of
Fever.

I Could Smell , Fried Tomatoes and Spicy Potatoes and I Realized That I Should Also
Be a Human Being , The Spicy Potatoes and Fried Tomatoes.
But Unfortunately I Had No Toungue In My Jaws , So The Only Thing I
Could Do , Was To Smell and Imagine The Taste.
And The Worst Thing Being It is Hard To Imagine.

I Wish I Could , said The Laughing Ghost
