I
____________________
(
just
start
)
____________________
preparing
the
evening
meal
when
I
suddenly
____________________
(
hear
)
some
strange
noises
coming
from
the
cellars
below
.
The
noise
____________________
____________________
(
stop
)
by
the
time
the
restaurant
owners
____________________
(
arrive
)
,
so
I
decided
not
to
tell
them
anything
.
I
____________________
only
____________________
____________________
(
work
)
there
for
five
days
and
I
didn't
want
them
to
think
I
was
mad
.
A
week
later
I
____________________
(
hear
)
the
noise
again
and
____________________
(
decide
)
to
go
down
and
investigate
.
While
I
____________________
____________________
(
descend
)
the
steep
steps
to
the
dark
cellar
,
the
noises
suddenly
____________________
(
stop
)
,
but
I
____________________
(
go
)
into
the
cellar
anyway
to
see
what
I
could
find
.
The
room
____________________
(
smell
)
strongly
of
food
-
as
if
someone
had
been
cooking
very
recently
;
and
someone
had
thrown
some
clothes
and
books
on
the
floor
.
But
whoever
it
was
had
obviously
left
the
room
in
a
hurry
.
When
I
____________________
(
tell
)
the
owners
what
____________________
____________________
(
happen
)
they
thought
I
was
imagining
things
.
But
I
____________________
(
know
)
that
someone
____________________
____________________
____________________
(
live
)
in
the
cellar
and
I
was
determined
to
find
out
who
it
was
.
