Gran took Biff and Chip for a walk. They went to the woods. Biff saw some blackberries. She wanted to pic some. Grandmother had some plastic bags. She gave one to Biff and Chip. "We can make some blackberry jam," she said. Grandmother made the blackberry jam. Biff and Chip helped. Chip made some labels and Biff licked the spoon. They made nine jars of jam. "You can take a jar home for Kipper," said grandmother. "And a jar for Wilf and Wilma." Wilf and Wilma are them friends.

They loved grandmother's house. It was very old. It had a big fireplace. Biff helped grandmother light the fire. Chip helped grandmother get some logs. "Do you have ghosts?" he asked. Grandmother laughed. "There are no such things," she said. He eased at it when he heard her word.

After had dinner, Biff and Chip went to bedroom. "Is this house hounted?" asked Biff. "Don't worry," laughed grandmother. "I don't have ghosts in my house. There are no such things."

They said grandmother"Good night.", grandmother left the room.

However...

Biff and Chip heard a noise. It came from outside. "Whoooo! Whoooo!" went the noise. "Oh no!" said Biff. "It's a ghost." Chip looked out of the window. "It's not a ghost!" he laughed. "It's an owl. Come and look." Biff and Chip looked outside. "Oh no!" said Chip. "I can see the ghost. It is a ghost this time." Biff and Chip ran to grandmother's room. "Gran! Gran!" called Biff. "There's a ghost outside." But grandmother wasn't in bed. Biff and Chip ran downstairs. "Gran!" called Biff. "Where are you? We've seen a ghost." But grandmother wasn't downstairs.

The door opened. Biff and Chip were frightened. "Oh no!" they said. grandmother came in. "We were frightened," said Chip. "you looked like a ghost." Grandmother laughed. "I'm not a ghost," she said. "I don't have ghosts," said grandmother. "But I do have two little monsters!" grandmother laughed and so did Biff and Chip.

Look at It !!


Look at it! It is very cute! It made of leaves of ginkgo.

I have found it when I worked front of 14th building with my friend and my seniors. I think that someone made it. When I have found it, I was so glad! It made me happy. I take a lot of pictures with them.

It was night, so very cold. However, my heart became warm :)
