One day, a man was walking home from the market when he heard a noise behind him that went thump.....thump.....thump. He looked behind him and saw a coffin on the path behind him. The man started to run. He ran as fast as he could but the coffin was gaining on him, thump...thump...thump.
He finally got to his house and he slammed and locked the door behind him. The coffin just burst through the door.
It was now opening and closing, clappity-thump...clappity-thump...clappity-thump.
The man ran into the bathroom and, not learning his lesson, slammed and locked the door behind him. Again, the coffin burst through the door.
The man, frightened, reached for the first thing he touched, a jar of cough syrup, and threw it at the coffin with all his might. The coffin stopped.
