Ghost Doll
ghost doll - What happened aunt? - Your house is on fire. The fire brigade has been informed. They will come in a moment. - What is Kakima saying? How did this happen? - I don't know, Bapu. After smelling burning from inside the house, I went to the balcony and saw black smoke coming out of the window of your store room. I shouted and called people. They all gather and watch the fire burning. When the work over there is done, please come back soon. I keep it now.
