6. One night Sir Simon is on his way to
the twin’s room when suddenly he
sees … A GHOST! Sir Simon runs!
Sir Simon goes to his room and hides
under the bed. Then, he decides to
speak to the ghost. He wants to be
friends with him.

7. Sir Simon speaks to the ghost but…the
ghost in on the floor. It isn’t a real
ghost! It is a sheet, a brush and a
pumpkin!

One sunny day, he looks out of the
window and sees Mr Otis’ daughter,
Virginia, riding on a horse with her friend,
the Duke of Cheshire.

about to go up the stairs to her
room when she sees a green light.
The light comes from under a door.
She opens the door and sees the ghost
on a chair next to the table. He is sad.
‘Poor ghost!’ she says, ‘What’s the
matter?’

9. The ghost looks at Virginia. ‘What’s the
matter?’ he says.’I can’t sleep and I am
tired. I want to sleep in the garden
under the big tree near the wood. I
want to listen to the silence and have
no yesterday and no tomorrow. But I
have to stay here with your family and
it isn’t easy!’
Virginia says ,’Poor Sir Simon! Can I help
you?’ ‘Yes, you can! I am bad but you
are good. Come with me and ask the
Angel of Death to forgive me and then I
can sleep.’ Virginia is afraid but helps Sir
Simon .

through a wall to find the Angel .
They disappear …

Virginia, runs upstairs and
downstairs and in the garden.

he shouts.

Virginia appears. She has got an old box
in her hand with some beautiful jewels.
She looks at her family and says, ‘You
can’t see Sir Simon again.’

12. Virginia, her father and mother and
brothers go to the ghost room.
They can see a skeleton chained to a
wall. ‘Poor Sir Simon! His wife’s
brothers chained him to the wall
and he died of hunger!The twins say
‘Wow! A skeleton and chains!’
They bury Sir Simon in the garden
under the big tree near the wood.
Lord Canterville comes too. Mr Otis
tells him about the jewels but he
gives them to Virginia.

13. Virginia marries the Duke of Cheshire.
They visit Sir Simon’s grave some
years later. The Duke wants to know
what happened when Virginia was
with the ghost. But Virginia says she
can’t tell him, that the ghost helped
her understand about Life and Death
and that Love is stronger than both.
