Chapter I

When the American, Mr Otis, bought Canterville Castle, everyone 1 tell him that this was very foolish, as the place 2 haunt. But Mr Otis answered, “I come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy. And if there were such a thing as a ghost in Europe, we would have it at home in one of our museums.”

A few weeks later, on a lovely July evening, Mr Otis, his wife and their children, Washington, Virginia and the twins, went down to their new home. Mrs Umney, the housekeeper, led them into the library of the castle, where they sat down and began to look around. Suddenly, Mrs Otis saw a red stain on the floor just by the fireplace and said to Mrs Umney, “I am afraid something 3 split here.”

“Yes, madam,” said the old housekeeper in a low voice, “blood 4 split on that spot.”

“How terrible,” said Mrs Otis; “I don't want any blood-stains in my sitting-room. It 5 must remove at once.”

The old woman smiled and answered, “It is the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who 6 muder on that spot by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, in 1575. Sir Simon disappeared seven years later. His body 7 never find, but his ghost still haunt the Castle. The blood-stain is a tourist attraction now and it 8 can not remove. ”

“That is all nonsense,” said Washington, the eldest son of the Otis family, “stain remover 9 clean it up in no time,” and he took a bottle of stain remover out of his pocket and cleaned the spot. But as soon as the blood-stain 10 disappear, a terrible flash of lightning 11 lit up the room and a fearful peal of thunder made the whole building shake.

Chapter II

There was a horrible storm that night, but apart from that nothing scary happened. The next morning, however, when the family (1 - come) down to breakfast, they (2 - find) the terrible stain of blood once again on the floor. Washington cleaned it a second time, but the second morning it appeared again. The third morning it was there, too, although the library (3 - lock up) at night by Mr Otis himself.

The following night, all doubts about the existence of the ghost were finally removed forever. At eleven o'clock the family went to bed and some time after, Mr Otis (4 - awoke) by a strange noise in the corridor, outside his room. It (5 - sound) like the clank of metal, and it came nearer every moment. Mr Otis got up and looked at the time. It was exactly one o'clock. So Mr Otis put on his slippers, went to the door and opened it. There, right in front of him, stood the ghost - his eyes were as red as burning coals; long grey hair fell over his shoulders and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy chains.

“My dear Sir,” said Mr Otis, “you must oil those chains. It's impossible to sleep with such a noise going on outside the bedrooms. I have therefore brought you this bottle of lubricator, and I will be happy to supply you with more if you (6 - require) it.” With these words Mr Otis laid the bottle down, closed his door and went back to bed.

Shocked, the Canterville ghost stood quite motionless for a moment, but then he growled angrily. Just at this moment, the twins (7 - appeare) on the corridor and (8 - throw) a large pillow at him! The ghost hastily escaped through the wall, and the house became quiet again.

When the ghost reached his small secret chamber, he took a deep breath. No ghosts in history

(9 - ever treat) in this manner!
