Dad went inside the house but he was not scared. He dusted the house until it was clean. Then they all went inside. Every one of them was shaking except Dad. Just then, Rick fell down a hole, screaming as he went. Then he landed with a thump. He saw lots of skeletons and bones and a door. He opened the door and went inside. He saw blood on the carpet. Dad fell down the hole too. He saw Rick. Actually, they had fallen down a trapdoor. Rick and Dad climbed back out of the trap door. They saw Mum and James. Dad saw some saws and some skeletons and bones, so he broke them The carpet and walls were clean again.

"It looks as good as new!" said Dad.

"Dad," said Mum, "let's go and have a look in our bedroom."

When they saw the bedroom, Mum said,

"That's nice!"

"Let's go shopping," said Rick.

"Can we buy and ice cream?" asked James as he licked his chops.

"Yes," said Mum, "I am hungry too! Come on, let's go now!"
