A Scared Rainy Night for a Lonely Girl at Home

It was a rainy day. So Cindy decided to stay at home and finish the interesting detective novel. Cindy was a crazy fan of detective novels and she liked to think problems in a quite logical way. Her parents went to visit relatives and could not go back home immediately. That is to say, Cindy was alone at home.

The rain still fell outside, and windows became so misty that people cannot see clearly outside. It seemed that someone was knocking the door, Bang, Bang, Bang… Cindy opened all the lights in house and went to open the door. But she could not find anyone out of the door. She was so confused for the continuous knocking door. At this time, Cindy thought of many plots in novel stories she has read: On the same rainy day, a little girl stayed at a big house lonely, with all lights turned off. At this time, an ugly man knocked the door so loudly that the girl was so frightened. She brought to courage to open the door but found no one outside. When she closed the door, she found the ugly man standing in the living room, with a knife in his hands…

Phone rang and the rings brought Cindy back from the thought. It was her mother’s call:”Cindy, I am sorry that your father and I could not go back home tonight because your uncle requested us to stay here one more day. So, remember to take good care of yourself and we love you.” After the call, Cindy heaved a sigh. What kind of parents she had! They left their daughter lonely at home in such a rainy dark night. But there is no other way now.

Cindy went to close all doors carefully and went back to bedroom. She turned on the television with loud volumn to cover the knocking sound. She thought that as the one who knocked the door had no patience, he would leave naturally. With this thought, she tried to concentrate her attention on the television program until she fell into sleep.

On the next day, rain stopped and the sun went out. Cindy opened the house door and found a tree cracked down in front of her house. She suddenly knew that the knocking sound last night was produced by the cracked tree. Thus, nothing was scare if she knew the truth last night.
