Script:
Narrator:
Mr. Otis wanted to live in an old house, so he decided to buy Canterville Chase, the home of Lord Canterville.
Mr. Otis:
Good morning, Lord Canterville.
Lord Canterville:
Good morning, Mr. Otis. Before you pay me the money, I still have to warn you that there is a ghost in the house. (Everyone: Make a sound of ghost!)
Mr. Otis:
Thank you for warning me, but I don’t believe it. Actually, I will pay you extra for the ghost. (Ha! Ha!) 19-1

Lord Canterville:
Don’t laugh. The Ghost really exists. But if you don’t mind, that’s all right.
Narrator: So the Otis family came to live at Canterville Chase. Mrs. Otis: Here we are. Let’s all get out of the carriage. Washington:
Who is that lady waiting at the door? She looks very old and strange.
Ricky: She’s very ugly. Mrs. Otis: Boys, be polite. Robby: Is she a witch? Mr. Otis: It’s Mrs. Umney. She’s our housekeeper. Mrs. Umney:
Welcome to Canterville Chase. Come inside. Dinner is waiting for you. Let me show you the house first. This is the hall, and this is the library.
Mrs. Otis: Thank you. But what’s the stain on the floor? Mrs. Umney: It’s blood, Mrs. Otis. Mrs. Otis:
Oh, so disgusting! I don’t like bloodstains on the floor. I must remove it.
Mrs. Umney:
You shouldn’t do that (Everyone makes a cross in front of your chest!). It is the blood of Lady Canterville. Her husband, Sir Simon (Sir Simon: It’s me.), murdered her just at that place.
Mrs. Otis: Then what happened? Mrs. Umney:
Nobody has found his body, and we believe that his spirit is still in this house. That’s why nobody can remove the stain.
Washington: Nonsense. “Den Den Cleaner” will clean it right away. Ricky: That’s right. (The action of polishing.) Look, the stain is going. Robby: Now, it’s gone. 19-2

Washington: I knew that Den Den Cleaner would do it. Virginia: Den Den Cleaner is the best! The sound of thunder (Everyone makes the sound of thunder.) Mrs. Umney: Nooooooooooooooo~ The ghost is angry. Virginia: Oh my God! Look at Mrs. Umney. Ricky and Robby: She’s fainted. Mr. Otis: What a useless housekeeper. We should reduce her wages. Narrator: The next few days, strange things happened in the house. Mrs. Otis: Look, the stain is there again. Washington: It’s so strange. We removed it yesterday. Mr. Otis: OK, guys. Maybe there really is a ghost in this house. Narrator:
That night, Mr. Otis was waken up by some strange noise in the corridor.
Mr. Otis: Who’s there? Sir Simon: It’s me. Wooooooooooooooo. I’m the ghost of Sir Simon. This is my house. You and your family leave my house! Wooooooooooooooo. Mr. Otis:
Stop making that noise; otherwise, no one can sleep. Besides, the chains on your feet really make a lot of noise. Take this bottle of “Rising Sun Lubricator.” Put it on your chains to stop that noise. Good night, sir.
Sir Simon: What? I am a ghost and you should be afraid of me. Narrator:
The Ghost was very angry and decided to do something to the Otis family the next day.
Sir Simon: Wooooooooooooooo. Ricky: What’s that noise? Robby: It’s the ghost. Look, he’s there. 19-3

Ricky: Let’s get our B B gun to teach him a lesson. Everyone: Poor Ghost! Poor Ghost! Sir Simon: Ow! Stop. Please stop. Ow! Ow! Washington: What are you guys playing? I want to take part of it. Ricky and Robby: Let’s join us. Take the B B gun over there. Virginia: I’ve already prepared mine. Let’s shoot. Sir Simon: Help! Help! Help! Mr. Otis:
Don’t do that to the Ghost. Your mom has already told you to respect the Ghost.
Washington, Virginia and the twins: OK, Dad. Narrator:
Sir Simon was so scared and ran away to his room right away, with his whole body shaking.
Sir Simon: I’ve lived here for centuries and everyone was afraid of me. (Every kid makes a face to Sir Simon.) I must do something terrible to make them feel afraid and they will never come back to this house.
Narrator:
The other day, when Sir Simon is going to deal with the kids, the four kids have made plans.
Ricky: Let’s have some fun with the ghost. Robby:
Yes, let’s wear our ghost costumes to scare him. The Otis Ghost. (Ha! Ha!)
Washington: That’s a good idea. Virginia:
Let’s see what we have. We have a turnip, a faked knife, an old sheet and a candle.
Ricky: Let’s put them all together to make a ghost. Robby: Excellent. Now let’s go back to our room and wait for Sir Simon. 19-4

Excuse me. I really don’t want to interrupt you, but it seems that you have a bad stomachache. Take this medicine, and it will help you a lot. Good night.
Sir Simon: What? Wuuuuuuuuuu. (Crying) I don’t want to go out anymore. The Otis family is too frightening. Wuuuuuuuuuu.

From that day, Sir Simon has never gone out and stayed in his room forever.
