Madam: Are the boys okay or not?

Aurora: Yes, Madam

Madam: What is the problem?

Aurora: It is a woman they say
Aurora: The boys get out of the room
Aurora: They do not go back to the room

Madam: Are you kidding me?

Madam: What did you see?

Aurora: Some eyes
Aurora: Eyes under the bed
Aurora: It scare me a lot
Aurora: Now we all in the kitchen

Madam: This is what I get for hiring someone as ignorant as you
Madam: That believes in the things of stupid, ignorant people
Madam: Next time I shall hire someone who has a high school diploma.
Madam: Or at least some sort of education.

Aurora: Sorry Madam
Aurora: But it is true
Aurora: There were some eyes under the bed

Madam: It must be the cat, Aurora
Madam: I’m sure he just got scared by something and got himself stuck under there
Madam: Get the cat out of there and put the kids to sleep

Aurora: I not think it is the cat Madam

Madam: Can you understand what I am saying?
Madam: Are you an idiot?
Madam: I’m telling you to take the cat out and put the boys to sleep
Madam: Or this is going to be the last night you work in my house
Madam: Or in any other house
Madam: Because I’m going to make sure that no one will ever hire you again in your miserable life
Madam: I know a lot of people, Aurora.
Madam: I am very influential in this town.
Madam: Do you understand?
Madam: You lazy moron!

Aurora: Yes Madam
Aurora: Sorry Madam
Aurora: Now I take the cat out and put the kids to sleep

Madam: So?
Madam: Did you do what I ordered?

Aurora: Yes Madam
Aurora: But it not work good
Aurora: The boys still crying and trembling with fear
Aurora: The baby also
Aurora: I calm myself
Aurora: I go into the room and see it again

Madam: God give me strength!
Madam: OK Aurora.
Madam: Send me the picture

Aurora: I send it to you. Wait please.

Madam: Let’s see this supposed ghost of yours.

Aurora: There it is Madam.

Madam: That is clearly the baby, Aurora.
Madam: I’m sure it’s just baby Anna hiding under the bed

Aurora: No Madam
Aurora: When I take the picture the baby is in the kitchen
Aurora: It is not she who is under the sheets

Madam: I am sick and tired of your nonsense, Aurora
Madam: This is the last time I am going to tell you
