They’re still sleeping.

And ghosts began to run, jump in the room. They began

making noise.

Oh, it is a ghost. Oh, there are many ghosts in my room. Help me! SOS! Hi!

Rrrr... rr, help us. There’re many ghosts one, two, three...

Oh, stop. Didn’t you see ghosts?

Ghosts (together). Give us our bone!

If we want to live let’s give them their bone.

Let’s give.

Take it! And go away!

She gave the bone and ghosts disappeared. Curtain.
