It is forbidden to go to the eastern bamboo garden at night!
All the ghosts there sit there to have their wives at night. Many people have seen them.
Although I have never seen them, I have come to believe in people's words. I do not look in that direction at night.
Today, my eyes suddenly went to the eastern garden. The full moon, full of light, had risen right above the bamboo garden. It looked very beautiful. My mind was filled with joy when I saw that scene.
Suddenly, I noticed a piece of cloth swinging on a branch of a bamboo tree!
At first, I was a little scared, but later I realized that it was not a piece of cloth. It was a sky lantern wrapped around it. Its paper was swinging in the wind on the bamboo branch.
I began to believe that people were saying that there were ghosts in this garden. Actually, there is no such thing as a ghost. It was all a mistake in my mind. So I dared to open my eyes and look at the garden.
It wasn't very late at night. It must have been around ten o'clock. I glanced at the forest. I was amazed at the sight!
I could clearly see in the dim light how many black boys were playing in the garden! They were running around, but none of their feet touched the ground. It was as if they were floating in the air!
Suddenly one of them's eyes fell right on mine. I could clearly see that his eyes were red and round! As if fire was coming out of those eyes!
As soon as they saw me, I couldn't understand where they had disappeared to. I was also very scared. I quickly got down from the balcony.
After I got down, I have never gone up to the balcony at night until today. Because I realized that there are ghosts! And there are ghosts in our eastern bamboo garden.
