Ian hated old houses. On some occasions the house they were staying in would have a grandfather clock, which made a loud bong when it struck whatever time it was. This time there wasn't one, but there was a rather curious wardrobe, which he found himself drawn to.
What he found inside was disgusting.
There was a sticky glue-like substance dripping everywhere and a see-through person inside the wardrobe.
"Excuse me. Who are you?" Ian said in a shaky voice.
"My name is Tom. How about yours?" the ghost replied.
"Ian," Ian stuttered. "I'm sorry to disturb you."
"It's not your fault. It's happened before, I'm used to it."
"I'll just shut the door then," Ian said politely.
As he slept in his room that night, he thought about the ghost's words. Maybe he was one of the friendly sort. He decided he would go back the next morning.
The next day he went to the wardrobe and knocked lightly on the door.
"Go away!" the ghost said through the door.
Ian was a bit nervous: maybe the ghost wasn't a morning person?
"Do you like doing things that I like doing?" Ian said bravely.
"I like playing tricks on people," said the ghost shyly.
"I like doing that too," Ian replied.
"Would you like to join up?" said the ghost.
"Sure. We will start today," said Ian.
The first prank they pulled was on Ian's father Graham, when they put a tomato on his chair as he was about to sit down. Over the two weeks his family stayed there, it was so much better than he had expected – and it was all because of Tom!When he finally left, as he looked behind at the house, he saw Tom waving good bye from the chimneypots. He had had the best time of his life.

The Fisherman's Luck
Once upon a time there was a poor fisherman who lived by the side of a river. He fished every day in the river and sold the fish at the market. One day he caught a very big catfish. It was so big that he had to cut it up into pieces to sell. He sold all the pieces and kept one for himself for luck. With the money he made, he spent some on repairing his boat, he spent some on repairing his house, and he bought some tomato seeds with the rest.
He found that people often liked to eat a bit of fish while they were shopping, so he started cooking some of the fish and selling it on his stall at the market. One day a rich man came along and ate some of his fish. He liked it so much, he said, “You should start up a restaurant.” The fisherman said that he did not have enough money to open a restaurant.
He thought about how he could make the money to open a restaurant. He decided to start selling the tomatoes and other vegetables that he grew in his garden. Soon he had enough money to open the restaurant. He called it The Fish Dish, and its signature dish was fish and chips, which until then no one had ever tried before.
And so he became a very happy and prosperous man.
Moral: You are never poor, if you can work hard.
