Перевод задания: Ответьте на вопросы.

1. Why did the ghost have to appear every week? He had to appear every week because he was a ghost and it was his duty to make strange and terrible noises in the hall. (Он должен был появляться каждую неделю, потому что был призраком и это было его обязанностью — издавать странные и ужасные звуки в коридоре.)
2. Why did the ghost take oil from Mr Otis’ bedroom? He took the oil to oil his chains and make them quiet. (Он взял масло, чтобы смазать свои цепи и сделать их бесшумными.)
3. What happened when the ghost tried to frighten the twins? When he pushed the twins’ door, a large bucket of water fell on him. The ghost got very wet, and the twins laughed at him. (Когда он толкнул дверь комнаты близнецов, на него упало большое ведро воды. Призрак промок, а близнецы рассмеялись над ним.)
4. Why didn’t the ghost get wet all over? He didn’t get wet all over because he had left his head in his room. (Он промок не весь, потому что оставил голову в своей комнате.)
5. Why did the ghost stay in his room? He stayed in his room because he was frightened of the twins and became quite ill. (Он оставался в своей комнате, потому что боялся близнецов и сильно заболел.)
