Girl and Kerry Stevens help Mrs Rutter. She lives near a haunted wood. She tells a story of how she didn't help a Nazi soldier who was injured in a plane crash and left him to die. They grow up and the wood isnt haunted anymore.
"Withches and Wolves and Tigers" - starts as childish fairytales. "There were not, the girl realised, wolves or witches or tigers" - End as grown ups as they are now responsible.
