A Terrible Fright is a fictional play because we can't see ghosts and ghosts don't have beds and go to sleep.
These three ghosts who live in a haunted house with a lady who has a rooster who can speak. The ghost got beaten and squashed black and blue. He got hung on the line with pegs. The little ghost called his mum and dad because he was scared. The mother and the father said poor little ghost, down you come. The little ghost then wanted to go to bed. Dad carried little ghost up stair.
Setting - The story took place in a SPOOKY house. There were steps in the house. There were windows which showed us cows and the bright sun and a rooster on the fence.
