A white ghost flaps in the yard, and the cat runs from it. Tom and Sue find it is a sheet on the line, and give it a face.
A white thing flaps in the yard.
“A ghost!” said Tom.
The cat runs from it.
The ghost flaps and flaps.
Tom and Sue go to look.
It is a sheet on the line!
The wind makes it flap.
“It needs a face,” said Sue.
Sue draws a big smile.
Tom draws two big eyes.
Now the ghost grins in the wind.
The cat sits and looks at it.
