My name is Jack and I have a very kind mum and dad. We live next to a haunted house called ¨Maybe You Won’t Come Out¨. The man who runs it is called Mr Man. It has ghosts, vampires, witches and talking trees.

I said to mum, ¨we should move out of this house”.
“I've got a surprise for you Jack” ,said mum.
“WHAT, tell me please I'm excited, tell me, tell me” ,said Jack.
“OK we will”, said mum and dad.
“YAY”, interrupted Jack
“So,” said mum.
“EEEEEKK” ,screamed Jack with excitement.
“We are moving house” ,mum said very very excitedly.
One week later they were happily moving house.

It turns out they ended up in a haunted house. So they moved to a hotel with a five star restaurant and it was haunted.

So they moved from Victoria to Darwin but the talking tree followed them. So they unpacked their bags and realised that they had extra luggage and it was a talking tree and Jack said,“open it mummy”
“Úm um ok” ,cried mum.
It had talking tree in it when they opened it up.
“Argh” ,screamed mum.
“Noooooo way” ,cried dad.
“What “,yelled Jack.
“HE HA HO” ,laughed talking tree.

So they put the ugly old thing in the bin and they all lived happily ever after.
