Once upon a time there was a ghost who lived in a haunted house.

One day a human went inside and he died instantly. The ghost sucked out his spirit.

Suddenly a cockroach came out of a hole and breathed in deeply until he sucked up the ghost. The ghost was never to be seen again.

On a stormy dark night an exterminator went into the haunted house and sprayed the cockroach then the cockroach died.

The haunted house remained empty for six years when the builders knocked it down and built a new hospital.

The hospital now helps thousands of people get better.
