I was reading a book when i heard something in the basement.
First I wasn't afraid of it.
Sometime later i called my farher on his mobile phone and heard the music in the basement.
I thounght, "Dad is at home."
But when I walked into the basement, i didn't see him there.
The music didn't play, either.
Only two boxes stood on the floor. Perhaps it was a ghost.
Это был темный и дождливый вечер, когда я была дома. Я читала книгу, когда услышала что то в подвале.Сначала я не испугалась этого.
Немного спустя я позвонила моему папе на его мобильник и услышала музыку в подвале.
Я подумала, "Папа дома". Но когда я пришла в подвал, я не увидела его там.
Музыка больше не играла.
Только две коробки стояли на полу. Скорее всего это был призрак
