This is a story of a deserted HOUSE. Its windows were broken and its floor sagged, and parts of the roof had fallen in. When the wind WHISTLED around the eaves, the timbers CREAKED, the shutters CLATTERED and the chimney gave a low MOAN.

In the cellar of the HOUSE, the mice SQUEAKED and a rusty piece of sheet metal trembled with a loud BONG. In the attic of the HOUSE, the bats wings WHIRLED as they flew around in shadowy circles.

One night a GHOST visited the HOUSE. He floated into the HOUSE through a broken window. It CREAKED, the shutter CLATTERED, the chimney MOANED, the metal BONGED, the mice SQUEAKED, the bats WHIRLED and the wind WHISTLED through the HOUSE'S chimney. this was too much even for a GHOST. "I'm getting out of this HOUSE" said the GHOST, so the GHOST left the HOUSE and never cam back. But, to this day, when the wind WHISTLES around the eaves, you can hear the sounds of MOANS, BONG, CREAK, WHIRL, CLATTER and SQUEAK coming from the poor old deserted HOUSE
