The Girls Strike Back
and the Boys
Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance
"Hey," says Helo, "Who's the new girl?"
"New girl? What new girl?" asks Hitty Daisy.
"This one, here, in the yellow dress!" says Helo impatiently.
"She won't talk. Maybe she's too shy."
"Uhhh...." stammers Hitty Ruth. "You don't think he means....?"
Hitty Daisy shakes her head. "No, that ghost hasn't been seen here
for years."
Helo grabs Hitty Ruth's arm. "G..g..ghost? C'mon, you're fooling
me!"
Hitty Daisy shrugs. "Does the term 'Black Death' mean anything to
you?
Only those slated to die next see the Ghost in the Yellow Dress."
"Tee-hee-hee!"
"Edgar! Edgar! whisper-mumble-whisper!"
"Helo, I DO see her!" whispers Edgar back.
"See who?" asks Isabelle.
"Tell me you see that girl in the yellow dress!" demand the
Big Camp secret boys.
"Not the ghost in the yellow dress!" shrieks the Big Camp secret
girl.
"You know that that means! The Black Death is coming to Camp!"
"I've gotta get up here so I can see this better!"
"Are you r-r-real?" asks Roy, reaching out to the ghost.
"Eeeeeeeek!" scream the girls.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" scream the Ghost in the Yellow Dress
"Gaaaaaaaack!" shriek the boys.
"Hey, what's going on here?" asks Hitty Henrietta, who has
come to investigate the noise.
"Why, nothing," says the Big Camp Secret girl. "We were
just introducing our last camper to arrive, Hitty Prudence,
and the boys were giving her a biiiiiig Camp welcome."
"Oh, this is too much!"
"Bwa-hahahahahahaha!" The girls can contain themselves no longer.
Hitty Henrietta leads Hitty Prudence off to be fitted for a uniform.
Welcome to Camp!" shrieks Hitty Mary Patty.
Somehow, the boys are just not that amused.
