Hi there, guys and welcome.

Our story for lesson 2, “Terror in the Cemetery”.

I like to bet on anything that is exciting, so when my friends tried to tempt* me with an offer, I took it.

The idea was for me to spend a frigid* December night in a cemetery, all alone, in order to win twenty dollars.

Little did I realize that they would use dirty tricks to try to frighten me into abandoning the cemetery, therefore losing my wager*.

My plan was to recline* in front of a large grave, covered by a warm blanket, with a flashlight to help me cut through the dismal* darkness.

After midnight, I heard a wild shriek*.

I thought I saw the grave open and a corpse* rise out of it!

Although I was somewhat numb* with fear, I tried to keep my senses.

Using good judgment, I knew that no peril* could come to me from that sinister* figure.

When I did not run in terror, my friends, who had decided to conceal* themselves behind the nearby tombstones, came out and we all had a good laugh.

Those spirits that may inhabit* a cemetery must have had a good laugh, too.

Okay, finished with this part.

I hope you’ve enjoyed it, too.

See you in the next one, good luck!
