On
a
cold
dark
January
night
____________________
I
was
walking
home
through
Fenn's
Forest
,
I
had
a
frightening
experience
.
I
had
stayed
at
my
friend's
house
____________________
late
that
night
,
so
I
was
hurrying
home
.
____________________
,
I
heard
a
loud
crash
of
thunder
and
it
started
raining
heavily
.
____________________
____________________
,
I
panicked
because
I
couldn't
see
my
way
clearly
.
I
felt
miserable
and
scared
.

,
a
flash
of
lightning
lit
up
the
sky
and
I
saw
an
old
building
ahead
of
me
.
I
walked
towards
it
and
I
realised
that
it
was
a
rather
strange
little
hotel
.
Half
an
hour
____________________
,
I
was
in
bed
in
one
of
the
hotel
rooms
.
I
had
decided
to
spend
the
night
there
because
of
the
storm
.

I
had
got
into
bed
,
I
heard
an
unusual
frightening
cry
.
I
got
up
and
saw
a
large
black
shape
moving
outside
my
window
.
I
screamed
in
fear
because
I
thought
it
was
a
ghost
!
I
quickly
ran
downstairs
to
ask
for
help
.
''
Don't
worry
!
''the
hotel
owner
explained
.
''
I
should
have
told
you
____________________
you
went
up
to
your
room
.
There's
a
noisy
old
owl
which
lives
outside
on
the
balcony
.
''
I
went
back
to
my
room
feeling
a
bit
silly
but
extremely
relieved
at
the
same
time
.

,
I
was
able
to
relax
.
It
had
been
a
long
night
!
