Question

It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window. “Who’s there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lighting; I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien that I have seen on the television show.

I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket(毛毯) over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a dress party.

After a while my head showed up out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to drawer where I kept my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off, maybe because of my taking picture.

The grandfather clock struck…It was 12 midnight. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I couldn’t sleep. I felt too frightened. I sat up; my mind was full of thoughts. Time passed, one o’clock, two o’clock, ... Finally, I fell asleep.

I woke up only after eight and decided to find out the truth. I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a tape(卷尺) and found them to be exactly the same size as my father’s shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then went to town to get the film developed(洗膠片). But when I saw the photos, they were black and I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.

When I reached home, I told my father the whole matter and he started to laugh. I also started laughing when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party.
