Describe
the funny incident that caused the confusion in the house.
(or)
Narrate
the extensive search operation made by the policemen in the house.
The author was in the bathroom when
he heard the noise. At first, the narrator thought that the unusual sound was
created by his father or his brother, Roy. Later he felt that it was a burglar
or a ghost. The author alerted his brother, Herman. When the brothers went
downstairs, they heard the footsteps circling the dining room table like a man
running and it started up the stairs towards them. Herman and the author
slammed the doors because of their fear of the ghost. Slamming of the doors by
the narrator and his brother woke up their mother. Author’s mother did not want
to take risk by getting down. At the same time, she wanted the police to come
there. So, she threw the shoe at neighbour’s home to seek help. Finally the cop
arrived and broke the front door. Thus they managed to enter the locked house. During
the search, the police turned the house upside down. Grandfather mistook the
police as General Meade’s men who were retreating. With that thinking, he
harmed them. So the police were prevented to enter grandfather’s room. Next
morning, grandfather told that he only came to the dining room for water, the previous
night. The narrator was sorry because
his imagination of considering his grandfather as a ghost created a lot of
misunderstandings.
