There was an old house standing right next to an elementary school in my town. The house was not tall, but quite big. It was said that its owner built the house in 1900. It was very old now, and nobody was living in there. It goes without saying that an old house like this must have something so terrible that no people dare to stay in. But I know better.

When I was a little girl fifty years ago, I had a classmate called Kevin Wang. He lived in that old house with his family. The Wangs were rich but they all were superstitious (迷信的), easy, or I should say, ready to believe anything super nature (自然) . Many of my classmates didn’t like Kevin because he was bad. He enjoyed making fun of other people, laughed at people’s faults, cheated in most tests and did many other bad things we girls couldn’t stand.

One day Kevin rode a thing to school. All the others of us never saw such a thing. Kevin said to us very proudly. “It’s called a bicycle. ” "Can I try on it?” I asked. “No way,” Kevin answered coldly and said, besides you can’t even ride it.” Saying that, Kevin started to ride on his bicycle, but it didn’t go very far. He fell into a hole and the bicycle fell down on a cat of mine. The cat was badly hurt and died. I was not only surprised but also very angry. Kevin ran away and didn’t care about all these. "Don’t you think you can get away with it!” I cried behind his back, " Nothing is worse than killing a cat ! I’ll wait and see what’s going to happen ! ”

That night some friends of mine came to my room. They brought a bi bag of mice (老鼠複數), about fifty or so. We had a plan. We went to Kevin’s home with the mice. We put each mouse (老鼠) under a cup (杯), or a wok (工作), or a bowl (碗), or anything could cover (覆蓋) a mouse. Then we let the mice go through the door into the living room. We left the house right after hearing the first scream (尖叫) . Then one scream after another was heard on our way home. It sounded terrible in the dark night but we ran away and didn’t care about all these at all.

A week later the Wang family moved to another town without telling any neighbors (鄰居) any

reasons. One neighbor said that something bad must have happened inside the house. Another said he saw a wok of mici in the house ! The Wangs wanted to sell the house, but no one liked to buy it. Since then the house had been left empty (空的) there, getting older and older.

NO20

One day I went to the mountains with three of my friends. It took us six hours to reach the top (頂部) of it. It was getting dark, and it was dangerous to go down the mountains in a dark night. So we decided to spend one night in the mountains. There was an old broken house but it was too old to live in. We decided not to stay in the house, but camped (在外露營) outside of it. The night soon came over us. We sang,

played cards, told stories, and then we were tired. Everyone except (除…之外) me went to bed at about two o’clock in the morning. I didn’t know why I couldn’t sleep. I walked outside and saw a woman about thirty
