The Halloween Story
One Halloween night there were two monsters in the same cupboard in a haunted house. There were three ghosts in different drawers. Then four giants knocked on the door and five ogres welcomed them in. Six people ran in with the giants. Then seven or eight witches met nine or ten wizards and they made magic spells.

Then came three.
They went into four or five different rock pools.
They saw six starfish and seven colourful pieces of coral.
From eight o'clock to nine o'clock they continued exploring, and at ten o'clock they surfaced and went home.
