Mommy told me never to go in the basement. I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy. I wanted to see the puppy. So I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I didn’t see a puppy, and then Mommy yanked me out of the basement and yelled at me. Mommy had never yelled at me before, and it made me sad and I cried. Then Mommy told me never to go into the basement again, and she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better. So I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy...
Hide and Seek Two young brothers were at home alone in the apartment while their parents visited their neighbours next door for a while. To keep themselves occupied the boys decided to play a game of hide and seek. The older boy turned his head to the wall and began to count. «Ready or not I’m coming,» cried the older brother and off he went looking for his brother. The apartment was eerily silent. He heard a scraping sound coming from the wardrobe. The boy went anyway and called out, «Come out I’ve found you!» but there was only silence. Opening the door, the boy began to rise up and put his hand out into the mass of clothing to feel for his little brother when a small, white, icy cold hand came out, grabbed his wrist, and tried to pull him into the closet. As he is trying to pull himself free, he hears a noise behind him, looks over his shoulder, and sees his brother behind him. «Couldn’t you find me?» asks the boy.
