A Fright in the Night

Biff and Chip went to stay with Gran. They went to stay for a week. Gran's house was small. It had two bedrooms, so Biff and Chip had to sleep in the same bedroom. Gran took Biff and Chip for a walk. They went to the woods and pick some blackberries. “We can make some blackberry jam,” said Gran. They made nice jars of jam. The children loved Gran's house. It was very old. It had a big fireplace. Biff helped Gran light the fire and Chip helped Gran get some logs. “Do you have ghosts?” he asked. Gran laughed. “There are no such things,” she said. They sat by the fire. Gran made some toast. Biff wanted to try the new jam. Chip had a new game. It was called Haunted House. “Cay we play Haunted House, before we go to bed?” he asked. It was time for bed. “Is this house haunted?” asked Biff. “Don't worry,” laughed Gran. “I don't have ghost in my house. There are no such things.” But Biff and Chip cuoldn't sleep. Biff had an idea. She wanted to play a joke on Chip. She had a torch in the bed. Biff put the sheet over her head and switched on the torch. “Whooooooo! I am a ghost,” said Biff. Chip laughed. He wasn't frightened. He pulled the sheet off Biff. “That was a good joke,” he said. Then Biff and Chip heard a noise. “Whoooo! Whoooo!” “Oh no! It's a ghhost,” said Biff. Chip looked put of the window. “It's not a ghost! It's an owl,” he laughed. Biff and Chip looked outside. “Oh no! I can see a ghost. It is a ghost time!” said Chip. Biff and Chip ran to Gran's room but she wasn't in bed. They ran downstairs. “Gran ! Where are you? We've seen a ghost,” said Biff. But Gran wasn't downstairs. The door opened and Biff and Chip were frightened. “Oh no!” they said. Just then, Gran came in. “We were frightened,” said Chip. “You looked like a ghost.” Gran laughed. “I'm not a ghost,” she said. “I don't heve ghosts, but I do have two little monsteres!” (362 words/8464words)
