The Tale of the Tall Ghost

I knew this story from my grandmother.

She told me this afternoon... ^_^

Here's the story:

Long ago,
there's a couple who lived in a cave.

The husband is a hunter.
He makes living from hunting animals.
And the wife was a pregnant woman...

One day,
when the husband went for hunting
he was killed by something/someone.

At the same day,
the wife saw something scary
which made her ran away from home.

While running,
the wife stumbled and fell down,
and actually died. (because she was pregnant)

However,
the wife's spirit still wonders around
and keeps on running.

and by times she realized it,
she was already a ghost... a tall ghost!
(she became tall when her spirit runs and runs for a long time)

You know... the husband also became a ghost.
both of them made a pair ghost
with four dogs
accompanying them...wherever they go.

It is said that
the ghosts will appear
whenever there's a sudden rain fell on a sunny day,
and the weather became sunny again
in an instant!

And so,
during those time... please remember my friends;
Stay calm....don't make any sudden movements
or you might got attack by the husband or the dogs...

It is said that,
sudden movements will made them think that you are a deer or other wild animals.
If you are inside the house, stay inside...
If you are outside the house, pluck a layer or grass calmly (without looking at the grass)
and put it on your ear like a flower.

When they attack you,
the husband will stab you from behind
and the dogs will bite you
which made you fell ill... fever and so.

It may sounded illogical,
but it doesn't hurt to trust once in a while. ^^

Today's Hajimete no Keiken... =_="

Title: Today's first experience... =_="

Anoo....
something in class caught my attention today. =_=

At first:
The weather this afternoon,
was sunny...but then,
it rains a little.

And then it went sunny back! =_=

As the sun came out,
the neighbour's dog barked at 'something' for quite a long time. @.@

My teacher told us...

"When there's a drizzle after a sunny weather
and then it becomes sunny back,
it means that there's the tall ghost
wandering somewhere around your neighbourhood."

"And if there's barking dogs it means that
the dog have seen 'the ghost'."

And so,
my grandmother told me to stay inside,
or just stay cool (if you're outdoor).
So that the ghost won't attack you.

I know it sounded mythical...
well, that's what my grandmother told me ^_^

I'll post the full story on my next post
