Ghost in the Chimney

THE GHOST IN THE CHIMNEY

Yesterday, I learnt a really spooky piece on the piano. We (My dog and I) decided to play it at night - to terrify the people at home! So last night, by the lovely silvery moonlight, I played " The Ghost in the Chimney" from scenes of childhood - by Theodor Kullak (1818 - 1882). My dog (Dinky) barked like crazy and backed away in fright. I reminded him about our evil plan. He stopped barking and accompanied my playing with his dreadful singing (more like horrible howling!). After a few minutes, we stopped and ate some cookies - singing and playing the piano sure is hard work! *wink wink* We noiselessly slipped upstairs (after making ghastly groans, sighs opening and shutting doors - just to scare the servant - he he). Soon we were drifting off to sleep.. Unfortunately, my brother (the person we were actually trying to frighten) said that he slept very peacefully that night. He didn't even notice! The servant said that she saw a thief last night. Since nothing valuable was taken, no-one believed her except the next door neighbour who heard strange noises is the night. Both women were really distressed! Mission complete!

Mission: petrify people
Result: 2 people were shocked, scared and startled, whole neighbourhood was disturbed!

Keep on making mischeif!
