A sleepy ghost knocks on a window.
‘Will you let me in?
My eyes are tired, my mist is cold. My sheet is worn and rather old.’
4
‘A ghost, a ghost!’ the man replies. ‘I will not let you come inside.’
The little ghost yawns very deep.
But she has nowhere yet to sleep. 5
The little ghost peeks through a doorway.
‘May I use your barn?
I am exhausted, really pooped.
My eyes are full of sleepy goop.’ 6
‘A ghost, a ghost!’ the cow says. ‘Moo!
You cannot come in here. Shoo, shoo.’
The little ghost just hangs her head. She cannot find a comfy bed. 7
The little ghost flies by a rooftop.
‘May I lie down here?
I’ve been up all night, saying “Boo!” I really need a wink or two.’
8
‘A ghost, a ghost!’ the pigeon says. ‘You cannot use my stony ledge.’
The little ghost is so confused.
She only wants to have a snooze. 9
The little ghost calls down a chimney,
‘Can you help me out?
I’m searching for an empty bed.
I’m counting sheep inside my head.’
10
‘I hear a ghost!’ a small voice cries.
‘Quick, block the chimney. Hurry, hide.’
The little ghost is quite upset.
‘I haven’t even said “Boo” yet!’ 11
