“I am so sorry, son,” said Dad.
“It is OK,” said Raymond with a smile. He did not want Dad to feel bad.
They packed up the car and moved to a new state. Their new house was
old and scary. “I wonder whether there are any ghosts living in our house,”

them look alive.

Then they unpacked the car and Raymond went up to his new room.
