THE BATCHILD

I was staying with my teacher in an old house in the forest. One night, I wanted to go out.

"Where are you going? said my teacher. "To school", I said. "But it's getting dark! And a storm is coming. All the bats come out when there is a storm. Don't go near them. And don't touch them!"

I went out and saw lots of bats. I wasn't scared. I went near them and touched them. Then I remembered what my teacher had said. Too late! My teeth turned green and my skin was covered with spiders. I screamed  and ran into the forest.

In the middle of the forest I saw a ghost.

Now I live with the ghost, and when it's dark and stormy I go into the forest and scare people.

Maybel I will come out and scare you.
