I said why don ' t I go over to that house and ask for some gas. As soon as I got there the moon came out from behind a cloud. There stood the spookiest old house I had ever seen. I crept up to the house and pecked into a window and I saw a light in the house. Someone must be in I said. I pecked into anuther window. In the dark I saw three men. a fat one, a scinee one and a small short one. Finallee I rang the bell. All buy itself the door flung open. I walked in. Sudenly bang the door closed.

We climbed up and there was a libere. Bats flew around me. My dog got a bat. I saw that the bats were made of saw dust. A skeleton danced into the room. I bumpt into a door. It opened. There was money in three bags. A fat man came in and took of his mask. He tried to catch us. They caut me and my dog grabbed the money bag.

My boat split. I jumped in the water. I saw a pees of wood. I held on to it. Soon we drifted on to a beach. I was very tired, and 1 went to sleep. When I woke up I saw little people all around me. They had ropes all over me. They draged me to the city. The king checked my pockets. When they knew I would not hurt them they untied the ropes. I lived with them for a long time and helped them fight their enemy. One day I saw a boat far out. I swan to it. The people in it were my size. They took me home. Marcus Wells Aged 6 8
