BR02-10 The Canterville Ghost

If a child will wnter the secret room And stay till the dead of the night
Then at last Sir Simon can sleep in this tomb And st Canterville all will be right.

  Do you understand this meaning? This is a poem in the library window of  the Cantervelle Castle.

 Once upon a time, there was the Canterville castle. This is very famous castle, because the Canterville castle is haunted!! One day, Otis family moved to this castle. As soon as they arrived to the castle, they found a blood stain on the carpet. The housekeeper, Mrs. Umney, explained about the stain nervously. It was the blood of Lady Eleanor Canterville who was killed by her husband, Sir Simon Canterville. He is a ghost now, and he wanted to scar Otis family. But he had a hope to sleep in his tomb. 

 So, do you think that his dream comes true? 

 This story is a little scary, of course. But I thought that it was good story for me. Please read this book and make sure the story's ending!!
