One day Sandy went to Harry’s house to read some new scary stories. Before he left, his father said, “Sandy, you must return before dark.” But, Sandy sat reading all evening. Finally, he had to walk back in the dark. Sandy was scared. Suddenly, he heard someone right behind him saying, “Guess what I can do with my long bony fingers.” Sandy was frightened and raced home. While crossing the lane, he heard the voice again, “Guess what I can do with my long bony fingers.” Sandy ran into his room and hid under his bed, and he once again heard, “Guess what I can do with my long bony finger.” Sandy somehow gathered courage and looked at the ‘voice’. Imagine his relief and surprise when he realized that it was his father in a monster costume! Sandy never disobeyed his father again.
