　　As they were counting them out,a small girl happened to be crossing the graveyard.

　　and to her horror she heard from behind a bush a voice said.

　　"One for you,one for me.

　　In terror,she rushed to the gate and bumped into a policeman.

　　"There are ghosts in the graveyard.

　　"Mr.Smith,just what is so interesting out of the window.
