Hem and Semon were good friends. They spent a lot of time together. On this particular night they were sitting on a bench near the post office talking about one thing and another.
There was a field of turnips across the road. Suddenly they saw something crawl out of the field and stand up. It looked like a man, but in the dark it was hard to tell for sure. Then it was gone.
But soon it appeared again. It walked halfway across the road, then it turned around and went back into the field.
Then it came out a third time and started toward them. By now Hem and Semon were scared, and they started running. But when they finally stopped, they decided they were being foolish. They weren't sure what had scared them. So they decided to go back and get a better look.
Pretty soon they saw it, for it was coming to meet them. It was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and black hat and a scarf covering face.
Semon said, "I'm going to try to touch it. Then we'll know if it's real."
