scary stories to tell in the dark, collected from folklore and retold by Alvin Schwartz, narrated by Christopher John Rogers. Wait till Martin comes A no old man was out for a walk. When a storm came up. He looked for a place to take shelter. Soon he came to an old house. He ran up on the porch and knocked on the door, but nobody answered. By now, the rain was pouring down, thunder was booming and lightning was flashing, so he tried the door. When he found it was unlocked, he went inside. Except for a pile of wooden boxes. The house was empty. He broke up some of the boxes and made a fire with them. Then he sat down in front of the fire and dried himself. It was so warm and cozy that he fell asleep. When he woke up, a black cat was sitting near the fire. It's stared at him for a while. Then it purred. That's a nice cat, he thought, and he dozed off again. When he opened his eyes, there was a second cat in the room, but this one was a big as a wolf. It looked at him very closely and it asked Show we do it now. No, said the other cat. That's wait till Martyn comes. I must be dreaming. Thought the old man. He closed his eyes again. Then he took another look. But now there was 1/3 cat in the room and this one was a big as a tiger.

When Martin comes, you tell him I couldn't wait. He called.
