“What does this mean?” I asked.

“Hey look, here’s one small tunnel.” Tom said pointing towards a tunnel gulping hard.

“Let’s get in.” I suggested.

He went inside. We followed.

“I even don’t know about it.” I said looking at a poster pasted on that wall. We followed Tom in the tunnel and reached a house.

“Where are we?” I asked looking around. It was a room. Windows were also there placed high. A door! I tried to open it. Locked! I pulled the door knob hard. Useless! Then I heard a thud.

“Did you hear the silence?”

Thud....thud.....thud....thud....thud. I shivered and then gasped.

“What was that?”

I finally managed to speak.

“I don’t know.” Tom replied.

We kept silent for some time. Then we heard the door unlocked. Then I froze. I screamed in horror. Rats! Lots and lots of them!

“Noooooooooo!” I screamed.

I hate rats. What on earth they are doing here? I finally managed to be

calm and ran outside quickly. Tom and Steve followed me.

“Who opened the door?” I asked looking around.

“Maybe rats!” Steve said.
